Vasodilatação dependente endotélio
Abstract in Portuguese
Esta dissertação investigou os mecanismos envolvidos na vasodilatação focando no papel das cavéolas e na possível interação com a isoforma endotelial da sintase de óxido nítrico (eNOS)/ óxido nítrico e neuronal (nNOS)/ peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2) em aorta de camundongos tratados com isoproterenol (ISO). Anéis de aorta foram montados em banho de órgãos para medida de tensão isométrica. A expressão das proteínas foi avaliada a partir da técnica de Western blot. Os resultados demonstraram que o tratamento com ISO: 1) não modifica nem a vasodilatação à acetilcolina (ACh) nem ao nitroprussiato de sódio; 2) aumenta a dependência das cavéolas na resposta vasodilatadora à ACh e ao ionóforo de cálcio e a expressão proteica da caveolina-1, mas não da caveolina-3; 3) aumenta a modulação das NOS, principalmente a nNOS, à ACh; 4) aumenta a participação do H2O2 na vasodilatação à ACh e 5) aumenta a expressão de proteínas da defesa antioxidante. Conclui-se que a hiperativação β-AR com ISO ativa mecanismos vasodilatadores compensatórios em resposta à ACh nas aortas de camundongos.

Abstract in English
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the mechanisms involved on the endothelium-dependent vasodilation focusing on the role of caveolae and the possible interaction between endothelial nitric synthase (eNOS)/ nitric oxide and neuronal (nNOS)/ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in aorta of ISO-treated mice. Aortic rings were mounted in an organ bath for measurement of isometric tension. The expression of proteins was evaluated using Western blot. The results demonstrated that ISO treatment: 1) did not change acetylcholine (ACh) or NO donor-induced relaxation; 2) increases the caveolae participation in ACh and calcium ionophore-induced relaxation and caveolin-1 protein expression, while did not change caveolin-3; 3) increases the constitutive NOS modulation to ACh-induced relaxation, mainly through nNOS; 4) increases the H2O2 involvement on the vasodilation-induced to ACh and 5) increases the antioxidant proteins. It is concluded that β-AR hyperactivation ISO active vasodilators compensatory mechanisms in response to ACh in the aortas of mice.
