Abstract

Background and Purpose The effects and mechanisms of chemical mitochondrial uncouplers on vascular function have never been identified. Here, we characterized the effects of the typical mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m‐chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) on vascular function in rat mesenteric arteries and aorta and elucidated the potential mechanisms. Experimental Approach Isometric tension of mesenteric artery and thoracic aorta was recorded by using a multiwire myograph system. Protein levels were measured by western blot analyses. Cytosolic [Ca2+]i, mitochondrial ROS (mitoROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential of smooth muscle cells (A10) were measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Key Results Acute treatment with CCCP relaxed phenylephrine (PE)‐ and high K+(KPSS)‐induced constriction of rat mesenteric arteries with intact and denuded endothelium. Pretreatment with CCCP prevented PE‐ and KPSS‐induced constriction of rat mesenteric arteries with intact and denuded endothelium. Similarly, CCCP prevented PE‐ and KPSS‐induced constriction of rat thoracic aorta. CCCP increased the cellular ADP/ATP ratio in vascular smooth muscle cells (A10) and activated AMPK in A10 cells and rat thoracic aorta tissues. CCCP‐induced aorta relaxation was attenuated in AMPK α1 knockout (−/−) mice. SERCA inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) but not the KATPchannel blocker glibenclamide partially inhibited CCCP‐induced vasorelaxation in endothelium‐denuded rat mesenteric arteries. CCCP increased cytosolic [Ca2+]i, mitoROS production and depolarized mitochondrial membrane potential in A10 cells. FCCP, the analogue of CCCP, had similar vasoactivity as CCCP in rat mesenteric arteries. Conclusions and Implications CCCP induces vasorelaxation by a mechanism that does not involve KATPchannel activation in smooth muscle cells of arteries.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • FCCP and CCCP increase O2•− production in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.

    “For instance, while both FCCP and CCCP increase O2•− production in rat vascular smooth muscle cells [145], BAM15, a mitochondria-specific uncoupler, does not change ROS production in this cell type despite efficient induction of mitochondrial uncoupling [45].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
