Show abstract
We previously reported that deficiency in 20-HETE or CYP4A impaired the myogenic response and autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in rats. The present study demonstrated that CYP4A was coexpressed with alpha-smooth muscle actin (-SMA) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and most pericytes along parenchymal arteries (PAs) isolated from SD rats. Cell contractile capabilities of cerebral VSMCs and pericytes were reduced with a 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor, N-Hydroxy-N'-(4-butyl-2-methylphenyl)-formamidine (HET0016) but restored with 20-HETE analog 20-hydroxyeicosa-5(Z),14(Z)-dienoic acid (WIT003). Similarly, intact myogenic responses of the middle cerebral artery and PA of SD rats decreased with HET0016 and rescued by WIT003. Lastly, HET0016 impaired well autoregulated CBF in the surface and deep cortex of SD rats. These results demonstrate that 20-HETE has a direct effect on cerebral mural cell contractility that may play an essential role in CBF autoregulation.
