Abstract:
The present study investigates the vasodilative action of carbon monoxide on rat pulmonary artery  in vitro. After isolation of the pulmonary artery rings (PAR) from Wistar rats, an ACh concentration-response curve was generated; the PARs were incubated with the NOS inhibitor L-NAME (30
μmol/L,  n=10) or the heme oxygenase inhibitor ZnPPIX (10 μmol/L)+L-NAME (30 μmol/L, n=10) for 30 min. After that, a second ACh concentration-response curve was elicited. Other isolated PARs were randomly divided into two groups: endothelium-intact group (n=8) and endothelium-denuded group (n=8).  The effect of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) on pulmonary arterial vessel tone was observed. The results showed that ACh induced a concentration-dependent pulmonary vasorelaxation. This relaxation disappeared after endothelium was denuded. The ACh induced relaxation was attenuated after pretreatment with 30 μmol/L L-NAME  and attenuated further after pretreatment with  10 μmol/L ZnPPIX+30 μmol/L  L-NAME. Exogenous carbon monoxide relaxed pulmonary artery in both the endothelium-intact group and the endothelium-denuded group. These data suggest that ZnPPIX inhibits ACh induced endothelium-dependent pulmonary artery relaxation and that CO is an endothelium-derived relaxation factor, and exogenous CO can relax pulmonary artery.

摘 要: 
本研究观察了一氧化碳
(CO)对离体大鼠肺动脉的舒张作用。制备Wistar大鼠肺动脉环, 作出ACh浓度效应曲线之后, 肺动脉环用一氧化氮合成酶抑制剂L-NAME 30 μmol/L (n=10)或血红素氧化酶抑制剂ZnPPIX 10 μmol/L+L-NAME 30 μmol/L (n=10) 孵育30 min, 再制备一个ACh的浓度效应曲线, 观察ZnPPIXACh的浓度效应曲线的影响。另取一组肺动脉环, 分为内皮完整组和去内皮组, 观察外源性CO对肺动脉环张力的影响。结果表明, L-NAME孵育后, ACh的血管舒张反应受抑, 最大抑制率为50.4±9.2%; ZnPPIX+L-NAME孵育后,  ACh的血管舒张反应进一步受抑, 最大抑制率为84.4±11.2%。外源性CO无论对内皮完整组还是去内皮组肺动脉都有舒张作用。本研究提示, ZnPPIX可抑制ACh的内皮依赖性肺动脉舒张反应,  CO是一个内皮源性的血管舒张因子, 外源性CO可舒张肺动脉。
