Angiotensin II Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor Sacubitril/Valsartan Improves Endothelial Dysfunction in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats #MMPMID29042424
J Am Heart Assoc 2017[Oct]; 6 (10): ä PMID29042424show ga
BACKGROUND: We have previously demonstrated that antihypertensive treatment with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors restores the impaired endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH)-mediated responses in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Herein, we investigated whether the angiotensin II receptor-neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) would improve reduced EDH-mediated responses and whether LCZ696 would exert additional effects on endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasorelaxation compared with an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker alone during hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS: SHRs were treated for 3 months with either LCZ696 or valsartan, from the age of 8 to 11 months. Age-matched, untreated SHRs and Wistar-Kyoto rats served as controls. Membrane potentials and contractile responses were recorded from the isolated superior mesenteric arteries. Acetylcholine-induced, EDH-mediated responses were impaired in untreated SHRs compared with Wistar-Kyoto rats. EDH-mediated responses were similarly improved in the LCZ696- and valsartan-treated SHRs. No difference was observed in acetylcholine-induced, nitric oxide-mediated relaxations among the 4 groups. Endothelium-independent relaxations in response to a nitric oxide donor, sodium nitroprusside, and those to levcromakalim, an ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel opener, were similar among the 4 groups; however, the sensitivities to levcromakalim were significantly higher in both LCZ696- and valsartan-treated SHRs. CONCLUSIONS: LCZ696 appears to be as effective as valsartan in improving the impaired EDH-mediated responses during hypertension. LCZ696 and valsartan exert similar beneficial effects on endothelium-independent relaxation via enhanced sensitivity of the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel. However, the dual blockade of renin-angiotensin system and neutral endopeptidase with LCZ696 does not appear to provide additional benefit over valsartan alone on vasomotor function in mesenteric arteries of SHRs.
