Ling Chen, Hui Bai, Jing Zhao, Panpan Zhang, Xinhua Zhang, Dezhi Kong, Changzheng Dong, Wei Zhang
TL;DR
Lipid emulsion reduces vasodilation by lowering calcium and nitric oxide in vascular cells, which could explain its effect on blood vessels.
Contribution
This study identifies novel mechanisms by which lipid emulsion reverses vasodilation through intracellular calcium and nitric oxide modulation.
Findings
Lipid emulsion pretreatment suppresses ATP-induced calcium elevation in endothelial cells.
LE reduces intracellular calcium concentration and nitric oxide production in endothelial cells.
The effect of LE persists even after extracellular calcium is removed.
Abstract
Lipid emulsion (LE), a widely used parenteral nutrition, exhibits a well-documented ability to reverse the vasodilatory effects induced by acetylcholine in blood vessels. However, the specific mechanisms underlying this action are not yet fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which LE reverses vasodilation in vitro through dose-response curve experiments, calcium imaging, and fluorescence assays. The results revealed a significant attenuation of acetylcholine (Ach)-induced vasodilation in rat thoracic aortic rings following LE exposure. In human aortic endothelial cells, pretreatment with LE significantly suppressed ATP-induced calcium elevation. This suppression persisted even after elimination of extracellular calcium with a calcium chelator. Moreover, LE pre-exposure reduced the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) elevation in endothelial cells…
