The effects of phorbol esters on endothelium-dependent relaxations evoked by ACh and the calcium ionophore A23187 were analyzed in isolated canine femoral and coronary arteries mounted in organ chambers or in a bioassay system. In rings of femoral and coronary arteries, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) (10(-7) M) evoked contraction (ED50 2.9 x 10(-8) M) and depressed endothelium-dependent relaxations to ACh (4- fold increase in ED50 and 72% depression of maximal response). PDBu depressed maximal relaxations to A23187 by 50% but had no effect on ED50. The inactive phorbol ester 4-alpha-phorbol didecanoate (10(-7) M) did not evoke contractions and had no effect on endothelium-dependent relaxations to ACh or A23187. Endothelium-independent relaxations to sodium nitroprusside were not effected by PDBu (10(-7) M) in femoral or coronary arteries. In bioassay experiments, selective treatment of perfused femoral artery segments with PDBu (10(-8)-10(-6) M) caused concentration-dependent inhibition of basal and ACh- (10(-6) M) and A23187-(10(-6) M) induced release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) (as assessed by relaxation of superfused bioassay coronary artery rings without endothelium). PDBu inhibited these responses with different potency: basal (10(-8) M) greater than ACh (10(-7) M) much greater than A23187 (only partial inhibition at 10(-6) M).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
