Résumé
S-Nitrosating nitric oxide (NO) donors like S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) induce a persistent inhibition of vascular tone, through the formation of releasable NO stores. In this study, we investigate whether GSNO also induces NO stores-related effects in vessels exhibiting tolerance to glyceryl-trinitrate. Rat aortic rings treated with glyceryl-trinitrate (100 microM for 1 h) exhibited increased level of superoxide and a decrease in NO elevation and relaxation induced by subsequent addition of glyceryl-trinitrate. In glyceryl-trinitrate-treated rings as in controls, pre-exposure to GSNO (1 microM for 30 min) induced a persistent hyporesponsiveness to noradrenaline and a relaxant response to N-acetylcysteine (a low molecular weight thiol which can displace NO from NO stores), both of which being inhibited by guanylyl-cyclase or cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitors. These data indicate that GSNO can promote the formation of releasable NO stores in arteries exhibiting increased superoxide level and tolerance to glyceryl-trinitrate. Formation of releasable NO stores is of potential interest to restore the protective effect of NO in organic nitrate-tolerant blood vessels.
