“…The basilar artery runs along the ventral aspect of the medulla oblongata and supplies the brain with blood in reptiles [33], birds [20] and mammals. The responsiveness of this artery seems to reflect changes in cerebral blood flow and local microvascular pressure.…”

We investigated the responsiveness of the mouse basilar artery to acetylcholine (ACh), bradykinin (BK), noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), histamine (His) and angiotensin (Ang) II in order to characterize the related receptor subtypes in vitro. ACh and BK induced endothelium-dependent relaxation of precontracted arteries with U-46619 (a thromboxane A2 analogue). Atropine (a non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist) and Nω-nitro-L-arginine (a NO synthase inhibitor, L-NNA) shifted the concentration-response curve for ACh to the right, whereas pirenzepine, methoctramine and pFHHSiD (muscarinic M1, M2 and M3 antagonists, respectively) had no significant effect. L-NNA and HOE140 (a B2 antagonist) shifted the concentration-response curve for BK to the right, whereas des-Arg9-[Leu8]-BK (a B1 antagonist) and indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor) had no significant effect. NA failed to produce any vasomotor action. His and Ang II induced concentration-dependent contraction. Diphenhydramine (a H1 antagonist) shifted the concentration-response curve for His to the right, whereas cimetidine (a H2 antagonist) had no significant effect. Losartan (an AT1 antagonist) shifted the concentration-response curve for Ang II to the right, whereas PD123319 (an AT2 antagonist) had no significant effect. These results suggest that the H1 and AT1 receptor subtypes might play an important role in arterial contraction, whereas muscarinic receptor subtypes apart from M1, M2 and M3, and B2 receptors on the endothelium, might modify these contractions to relaxations.

“…In nonmammalian species, differences in the primary structures of BK‐related peptides have been reported (Conlon, 1999). We have also demonstrated that mammalian BK (Arg–Pro–Pro–Gly–Phe–Ser–Pro–Phe–Arg) did not induce relaxation; however, [Val 1 ,Thr 6 ]‐BK has been reported to induce relaxation of snake basilar arteries precontracted with 5‐HT (Yoshinaga et al. , 2007).…”

We investigated the effect of bradykinin (BK) on isolated equine basilar arterial rings with and without endothelium. BK induced concentration-dependent contraction of resting arterial rings and no relaxation when the rings were precontracted by prostaglandin F(2alpha). The maximal response and pD(2) value were 161.2 +/- 28.1% (to 60 mm KCl-induced contraction) and 8.24 +/- 0.25 respectively. The cumulative concentration-response curve for BK was not shifted to the right by des-Arg(9)-[Leu(8)]-BK (a B(1)-receptor antagonist), HOE140 (a B(2)-receptor antagonist) or NPC567 (another B(2)-receptor antagonist). In four of six basilar arteries, NPC567 induced concentration-dependent contraction. Indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (a lipoxygenase inhibitor), quinacrine (a phospholipase A(2) inhibitor), tetrodotoxin (a selective blocker of Na(+) channels), guanethidine (a nor-adrenergic neuron blocking drug), phentolamine (an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist), Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor) and endothelial denudation did not affect the BK-induced contraction. L-NNA and indomethacin induced contraction and relaxation under resting vascular tone respectively. These results suggest that endothelial cells are not involved in BK-induced contraction and that the contraction is not mediated via activation of known B(1) and B(2) receptors. Arachidonic acid metabolites and neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and NO might not play a role in BK-induced contraction in equine basilar artery.

Mass Transport: Circulatory System with Emphasis on Nonendothermic Species

Mass transport can be generally defined as movement of material matter. The circulatory system then is a biological example given its role in the movement in transporting gases, nutrients, wastes, and chemical signals. Comparative physiology has a long history of providing new insights and advancing our understanding of circulatory mass transport across a wide array of circulatory systems. Here we focus on circulatory function of nonmodel species. Invertebrates possess diverse convection systems; that at the most complex generate pressures and perform at a level comparable to vertebrates. Many invertebrates actively modulate cardiovascular function using neuronal, neurohormonal, and skeletal muscle activity. In vertebrates, our understanding of cardiac morphology, cardiomyocyte function, and contractile protein regulation by Ca2+ highlights a high degree of conservation, but differences between species exist and are coupled to variable environments and body temperatures. Key regulators of vertebrate cardiac function and systemic blood pressure include the autonomic nervous system, hormones, and ventricular filling. Further chemical factors regulating cardiovascular function include adenosine, natriuretic peptides, arginine vasotocin, endothelin 1, bradykinin, histamine, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide, to name but a few. Diverse vascular morphologies and the regulation of blood flow in the coronary and cerebral circulations are also apparent in nonmammalian species. Dynamic adjustments of cardiovascular function are associated with exercise on land, flying at high altitude, prolonged dives by marine mammals, and unique morphology, such as the giraffe. Future studies should address limits of gas exchange and convective transport, the evolution of high arterial pressure across diverse taxa, and the importance of the cardiovascular system adaptations to extreme environments. © 2017 American Physiological Society.
