Vasoactivity of diadenosine polyphosphates in human small renal resistance arteries.
BACKGROUND We examined for the first time the vascular effects of purinergic agents that contribute to the regulation of peripheral vascular resistance in human small renal resistance arteries (hRRAs). METHODS AND RESULTS Diadenosine polyphosphates (ApnAs, n = 3-6) and ATP, mounted in a microvessel myograph, caused vasoconstriction in hRRAs (rank order of potency: Ap5A > Ap6A = Ap4A > Ap3A = ...
متن کاملDiadenosine polyphosphates cause contraction and relaxation in isolated rat resistance arteries.
The effects of diadenosine polyphosphates (APnA; n = 3-6) and adenine nucleotides on contractile reactivity of isolated rat mesenteric resistance arteries (MrA) and superior epigastric arteries (SEA), which display a dense and sparse autonomic innervation, respectively, were evaluated. All agonists examined, except adenosine and AMP, induced contractions. The rank order of potency was similar i...
متن کاملMesenteric and renal vascular effects of diadenosine polyphosphates (APnA).
Diadenosine polyphosphates (APnA) are endogenous dinucleoside molecules consisting of two adenosine moieties linked via their 5'-ribose positions by a variable number of phosphate groups. APnA have been shown to be present in different cell types and to be released from platelets as well as co-released with catecholamines and ATP from bovine adrenal medulla. Candidate metabolites of APnA are AT...
متن کاملDual roles of diadenosine polyphosphates in corneal epithelial cell migration.
PURPOSE To investigate the influence of diadenosine polyphosphates on the rate of corneal epithelial cell migration. METHODS Primary corneal epithelial cell cultures were obtained from New Zealand White rabbits. Immunocytochemical experiments were performed by fixing the cells with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and incubated with cytokeratin 3 primary antibody, which was subsequently incubated wi...
متن کاملDiadenosine polyphosphates in the tears of aniridia patients.
PURPOSE To quantify diadenosine polyphosphate levels in tears of congenital aniridia patients to estimate the ocular surface changes associated with congenital aniridia compared to normal individuals. METHODS Fifteen patients diagnosed with congenital aniridia and a control group of forty volunteers were studied. Tears were collected to quantify the levels of diadenosine polyphosphates Ap4 A ...
