چکیده

introduction: hydrogen sulfide (h2s) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. since the mechanism of salt impairing h2s-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (k+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous h2s in rat aortic rings. materials and methods: isolated thoracic aortic rings of adult male albino rats fed 8% nacl diet for six weeks were used for isometric tension recording using powerlab tissue bath system. results: the relaxation response to sodium disulfide (na2s, an h2s donor) was reduced in aortic rings of rats that were either fed high salt (hs) or incubated in a medium containing 1,3 or 5mm/l of extra nacl compared with control rings. na2s-induced relaxation was lower in rings precontracted by high k+ than phenylephrine (pe, a selective α1adrenergic receptor agonist). in addition, incubation of aortic rings of hs loaded rats with inward-rectifier k+ (kir) channels blocker individually or simultaneously with either atp-dependent (katp) or voltage-sensitive k+ (kv) channels blockers inhibited na2s-induced relaxation in pe-precontracted rings; however it had no effects on rings pretreated with katp channels blocker. in contrast, incubation of aortic rings of hs loaded rats with ca+2 activated k+ (kca) channels blocker individually or in combination with kir channels blocker significantly enhanced na2s-induced relaxation. conclusion: these results revealed that hs partially impairs aortic relaxation caused by h2s, and that the mechanism of relaxation is mainly mediated by the stimulation of kir channels and inhibition of kca channels.

Potassium ions as vasodilators: role of inward rectifier potassium channels.

External potassium ions have long been known as mediators of vasodilation of several vascular beds, including the coronary and cerebral circulations.1–6 Indeed, potassium ions have been viewed as communicators of the metabolic state of the cells that surround blood vessels. For example, release of potassium ions from neurons is communicated through glial cells to regulate cerebral artery diamet...

Inward rectifier potassium channels in the rat middle cerebral artery.

Inward rectifier K+ channels (Kirs) were studied in the isolated perfused rat middle cerebral artery (MCA). The addition of 15 mM K+ (KCl) to the extraluminal bath dilated the MCAs. These dilations were blocked by selective inhibitors for the Kirs (40 μM BaCl2 or 40 mM CsCl) but not selective inhibitors for other K+channels (glibenclamide, tetraethylammonium, or 4-aminopyridine). Neither remova...

Long-pore Electrostatics in Inward-rectifier Potassium Channels

Inward-rectifier potassium (Kir) channels differ from the canonical K(+) channel structure in that they possess a long extended pore (approximately 85 A) for ion conduction that reaches deeply into the cytoplasm. This unique structural feature is presumably involved in regulating functional properties specific to Kir channels, such as conductance, rectification block, and ligand-dependent gatin...

Activation of inward rectifier potassium channels accelerates atrial fibrillation in humans: evidence for a reentrant mechanism.

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether atrial fibrillation (AF) drivers in humans are focal or reentrant. To test the hypothesis that functional reentry is involved in human AF maintenance, we determined the effects of adenosine infusion on local dominant frequency (DF) at different atrial sites. By increasing inward rectifier potassium channel conductance, adenosine would increase DF of reentrant dr...
