This study was designed to examine the in vitro effects of adenosine (Ado) on hydrogen peroxide-induced endothelial dysfunction in rats. Endothelial dysfunction was induced by exposing isolated rat mesenteric arteries to hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mM) for 12 h using an organ culture system. The protective effects of adenosine were tested by exposing isolated mesenteric arteries to adenosine (3 x 10(-7) mol/l, 10(-6) mol/l, 3 x 10(-6) mol/l)+hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mM) for 12 h. This exposure to hydrogen peroxide induced a significant concentration-dependent inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR). Coculture of segments of mesenteric artery with adenosine (3 x 10(-7), 10(-6), and 3 x 10(-6) mol/l) attenuated the hydrogen peroxide-induced impairment of vasorelaxation. This impairment was accompanied by a reduction in nitrite/nitrate, nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and an increasing in malondislehyde (MDA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in the aorta. These results indicate that adenosine can be used to attenuate hydrogen peroxide-induced endothelial dysfunction, an effect that may be related to antioxidation, thus enhancing NO production by preventing the decrease in NOS.
