Abstract
Background and aim: Increased homocysteine (Hcy) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Hcy increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) via NADPH oxidases (Nox), reducing acetylcholine-mediated vasorelaxation. We aimed to determine if putative Nox2 inhibitors prevent Hcy-impaired acetylcholine-mediated vasorelaxation. Methods and results: New Zealand White rabbit and wild-type (C57BL/6) and Nox2(-/-) (NOX) mice aortic rings were mounted in organ baths. Rabbit rings were incubated with either apocynin (10 mu M), gp91ds-tat (GP, 1 mu M) or PhoxI2 (1 mu M) and mice rings GP (1 mu M) only. Some rabbit rings were incubated with 3 mM Hcy, before pre-contraction, followed by dose-response relaxation to acetylcholine (ACh; 0.01 mu M-10 mu M). In rabbit rings treated with Hcy and GP, O-2(-) donor pyrogallol (1 mu M) or Akt activator SC79 (1 mu M) was added 5 min before ACh. Mice rings were used to compare Nox2 deletion to normal acetylcholine-mediated relaxation. In rabbits, Hcy reduced acetylcholine-mediated relaxation vs. control (p < 0.0001). Treatment + Hcy reduced relaxation compared with treatment alone (p < 0.0001). Pyrogallol and SC79 reversed the response of GP + Hcy (p = 0.0001). In mice, Nox2 deletion reduced acetylcholine-mediated vasorelaxation. Rabbit tissue analysis revealed that Hcy reduced eNOS phosphorylation at Thr(495) and increased eNOS phosphorylation at Ser(1177); no further alteration at Thr(495) was observed with GP. In contrast, GP prevented increased phosphorylation at Ser(1177). Conclusions: Apocynin, GP and PhoxI2 worsens acetylcholine-mediated vascular relaxation in rabbit aorta, which is supported by results from mouse Nox2 deletion data. These inhibitors worsen Hcy-induced vascular dysfunction, suggesting that current putative Nox2 inhibitors might not be useful in treating HHcy.
