- W1982288537 abstract "This report is focused on the study of simvastatin-induced relaxation of rat aorta through its effects on vascular smooth muscle and Ca(2+) signalling. The presence of endothelium affected only the simvastatin-induced relaxation of aortic rings precontracted with noradrenaline, but not by depolarization with KCl 80 mM. Blockade of Ca(2+) entry through voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (VOCCs) by diltiazem abolished the endothelium-dependent and direct relaxation, whereas Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibition by cyclopiazonic acid (3 x 10(-5) M) only affected the endothelium-dependent relaxation. In KCl-depolarised arteries concentration-response curves for CaCl(2) were shifted to the right in the presence of simvastatin (3 x 10(-6) and 3 x 10(-5) M) or diltiazem (10(-6) and 10(-7) M). The transient contraction caused by noradrenaline in Ca(2+)-free medium, which is mainly due to intracellular Ca(2+) release, was inhibited by simvastatin (3 x 10(-5) M) or cyclopiazonic acid (3 x 10(-5) M) and the contraction induced by CaCl(2) (2 x 10(-3) M) added after noradrenaline was inhibited by diltiazem and simvastatin. All the reported effects of simvastatin were inhibited by the product of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, mevalonate (10(-3) M). These findings demonstrate that the vascular effects of simvastatin may involve both Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, which could promote activation of endothelial factors, and blockade of extracellular Ca(2+) entry, which promote relaxations independent of the presence of endothelium. This action on Ca(2+) could be related to the inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis, which subsequently affects the function of G-proteins involved in communication among intracellular Ca(2+) pools and capacitative Ca(2+) entry." @default.
