- W2022674725 abstract "Humans with depression show impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation; one recent demonstration of which was in the form of a reduced acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation of adrenergically-precontracted small arteries biopsied from older depressed patients. Results from such uses of ACh in general have been validated as the most predictive marker of endothelium-related cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, we examined vascular reactivity to ACh in the socially isolated prairie vole, a new animal model relevant to human depression and cardiovascular disease. Thoracic aortas were carefully dissected from female prairie voles after one month of social isolation (versus pairing with a sibling). Only aortas that contracted to the adrenergic agent phenylephrine (PE) and then relaxed to ACh were evaluated. Among those, ACh-induced relaxations were significantly reduced by social isolation (p < 0.05), with maximum relaxation reaching only 30% (of PE-induced precontraction) compared to 47% in aortas from paired (control) animals. Experimental removal of the endothelium from an additional set of aortic tissues abolished all ACh relaxations including that difference. In these same tissues, maximally-effective concentrations of the nitric oxide-donor nitroprusside still completely relaxed all PE-induced precontraction of the endothelial-free smooth muscle, and to the same degree in tissues from isolated versus paired animals. Finally, in the absence of PE-induced precontraction ACh did not relax but rather contracted aortic tissues, and to a significantly greater extent in tissues from socially isolated animals if the endothelium was intact (p < 0.05). Thus, social isolation in the prairie vole may 1) impair normal release of protective anti-atherosclerotic factors like nitric oxide from the vascular endothelium (without altering the inherent responsiveness of the vascular smooth muscle to such factors) and 2) cause the endothelium to release contracting factors. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of this phenomenon in an animal model of depression induced solely by social isolation. These findings have implications for understanding mechanisms involved in depression and cardiovascular disease." @default.
