摘要
Background Although plasma levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1) increase in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), its role in PH is unknown. We investigated the contribution of endogenous ET-1 to cardiopulmonary changes in beagles with dehydromonocrotaline (DMCT)-induced PH. Methods and Results Eight 3-month-old beagles were given a single injection of 3 mg/kg DMCT via the right atrium. During the 8 weeks after injection, the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and plasma ET-1 level increased significantly from 11.6+/-2.3 to 35.9+/-7.1 mm Hg and from 1.24+/-0.25 to 3.25+/-0.94 pg/mL, respectively. In controls, ET-1 infusion elevated the systemic arterial pressure (SAP) but did not alter PAP. In PH beagles, ET-1 infusion increased SAP, which was attenuated by FR139317 (an endothelin type [ET] A receptor antagonist), and produced a dose-dependent decrease in PAP, which was attenuated by RES-701-1. (an ETB receptor antagonist). In PH beagles, FR139317 infusion decreased PAP, and RES-701-1 infusion increased PAP. Sarafotoxin S6c (an ETB agonist) infusion decreased PAP in PH beagles. Conclusions These results suggest that endogenous ET-1 is elevated in PH disease and may mitigate PH by acting on ETB receptors.
