We have investigated the antioxidant effect of adrenomedullin (AM) on endothelial function in the Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rat hypertension model. Dahl salt-resistant (DR) and DS rats were fed an 8% NaCl diet. In addition, the DS rats were subcutaneously infused with either saline or recombinant human AM for 4 weeks. Although systolic blood pressures measured weekly in AM- and saline-infused rats did not significantly differ, aortic O2- levels were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the latter. Likewise, both endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA and protein were significantly higher in saline-infused DS rats. Infusion of AM reduced both O2- and eNOS expression to levels comparable to those seen in DR rats. AM infusion also upregulated the gene expression of guanosine-5′-triphosphate cyclohydrolase I and downregulated the expression of p22phox, suggesting that AM increased the NOS coupling and bioavailability of NO. AM possesses significant antioxidant properties that improve endothelial function. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Objective: The extracellular matrix (ECM) determines the structural integrity of the heart and vasculature, participating in cardiovascular remodeling. We previously reported that adrenomedullin (AM) inhibited cellular proliferation and protein synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts; however, the precise mechanisms of AM actions as an antifibrotic factor remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the biological actions of AM against the profibrotic factor angiotensin II (Ang II) in coronary adventitia. Methods and results: Rats with hypertension induced by Ang II infusion were administered 0.06 μg/kg/min recombinant human AM subcutaneously for 14 days. The AM infusion significantly (p<0.05) reduced the Ang II-induced increase of coronary adventitial fibroblasts expressing Ki-67 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the left ventricle, by 65%, and 62%, respectively, without affecting systolic blood pressure, left ventricle/body weight, or cross-sectional area of myocardial fibers. Collagen deposition of coronary arteries was reduced by the AM infusion (-24%, p<0.01), and these effects of AM were accompanied by significant reductions in gene expression of type 1 collagen (-49%, p<0.05) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (-55%, p<0.01). In cultured cardiac fibroblasts, 10-7 mol/L AM exerted an inhibitory effect on TGF-β1-induced α-SMA expression (p<0.01) that was mimicked by 8-bromo-cAMP and attenuated by the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89. Conclusion: AM decreased Ang II-induced collagen deposition surrounding the coronary arteries, inhibiting myofibroblast differentiation and expressions of ECM-related genes in rats. The present findings further support the biological action of AM as an antifibrotic factor in vascular remodeling. © 2004 European Society of Cardiology. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Producing components of the extracellular matrix, the vascular adventitia has been recognized as an important modulator of the vascular remodeling process, which determines the vessel architecture. In this study, we examined the effect of the vasodilator peptide adrenomedullin on vascular remodeling induced by balloon injury of rat carotid arteries. Endothelial denudation with wall stretch by ballooning not only induced neointimal formation accompanied with a reduced ratio of the lumen to vessel area, but also increased the fibroblast number and collagen deposition in the adventitial layer. When compared with the saline infusion, intravenous adrenomedullin infusion at 200 ng/h for 14 days suppressed the neointimal formation (-33%, P=0.033), reversing the ratio of lumen to vessel ratio (P=0.030), without affecting systolic blood pressure. Moreover, the adrenomedullin infusion decreased the number of adventitial fibroblasts (-41%, P<0.001) and the collagen deposition (-36%, P=0.006) in the adventitial layer of the injured artery. In conclusion, the intravenous adrenomedullin infusion effectively attenuates vascular remodeling following the arterial injury via suppression of hyperplasia in the intima and adventitia, suggesting a potential of adrenomedullin as a therapeutic tool against vascular remodeling. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
