Mechanisms of changes in coronary arterial tone induced by bee venom toxinsČerne, Katarina ...Our study elucidates some mechanisms of contractions or relaxations of isolated porcine left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) induced by twopeptides from the honeybee venom, melittin and ... apamin. Contractions or relaxations were measured on relaxed or precontracted arteries, respectively. Melittin at lower concentrations (0.1-10 mug/ml) induced transient relaxation,and contraction at higher concentrations (>/=7 mug/ml). The removing of the endothelium diminished the melittin-induced relaxation but didnot affect the maximal contraction. The inhibition of prostaglandin and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis (by indomethacin and by N-omega-Nitro-l-arginine,respectively) and the use of K(+) channel inhibitors (apamin and charybdotoxin) showed that melittin evoked relaxation via an endothelium-dependent mechanism (NO production), and by activation of charybdotoxin-sensitive K(+) channels of smooth muscle. Apamin alone did not affect contraction or relaxation, but the inhibition of NO and prostanoid production revealed the involvement of apamin-sensitive K(+) channels of smooth muscle in melittin-induced relaxation. Our data show that melittin and apamin could affect contractility of porcine LAD at concentrations similar to those encountered in multiple honeybee stings in humans. Melittin could directly affect contractility of porcine LAD, whereas apamin acts as a modulator of the relaxant response to melittin.Vir: Toxicon. - ISSN 0041-0101 (Vol. 56, no. 3, 2010, str. 305-312)Vrsta gradiva - članek, sestavni del ; neleposlovje za odrasleLeto - 2010Jezik - angleškiCOBISS.SI-ID - 27111897
