The present experiment was performed to identify endothelium-derived contracting factor produced by acetylcholine stimulation in the aorta of spontaneo-usly hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wi-star-Kyoto rats (WKY). The rings of the thoracic aorta were obtained from age-matched SHR and WKY, and changes in isometric tension were record-ed. The relaxant responses to acetylcholine in the rings from SHR were significantly weaker than those obtained in WKY. The relaxant responses to acety-lcholine were significantly enhanced by pretreatment with a cyclooxygenase-inhibitor (indomethacin) or thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptor antagon-ist (ONO-3708) both in the SHR and WKY rings. A thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor (OKY-046) did not affect the acetylcholine-induced relaxation in therings from SHR or WKY. In the organ bath solu-tion, following acetylcholine stimulation, prostaglan-din E2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F, concentrations increased, but prostaglandin F and thromboxane B2 concentrations did not increase. Exogenous prosta-glandin H2, a stable analogue of thromboxane A2 (STA2) and prostaglandin F induced contractions of the SHR rings at a lower concentration than pro-staglandin E2, prostaglandin D2 and prostaglandin I2. These contractile responses to various prostaglandins were markedly inhibited by pretreatment with ONO-3708. A prostacyclin synthetase inhibitor did not af-fect the relaxant responses to acetylcholine in the SHR rings.

These results show that endothelium-derived con-tracting factor is produced and released by acetylcho-line stimulation not only in the aorta of SHR but also in that of WKY. The results also suggest that pro-staglandin H2, a precursor of the released prostaglan-dins, is a strong candidate for endothelium-derived contracting factor produced by acetylcholine stimula-tion.
