In isolated superior mesenteric artery rings from age-matched control rats and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, we investigated the role of cAMP in endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-type relaxation. The ACh-induced EDHF-type relaxation was significantly weaker in STZ-induced diabetic rats than in control rats, and in both groups of rats it was attenuated by 18alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid (18alpha-GA), an inhibitor of gap junctions, and enhanced by IBMX, a cAMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. These enhanced EDHF-type responses were very similar in magnitude between diabetic and age-matched control rats. The EDHF-type relaxation was enhanced by cilostamide, a PDE3-selective inhibitor, but not by Ro 20-1724, a PDE4-selective inhibitor. The expression levels of the mRNAs and proteins for two cAMP PDEs (PDE3A, PDE3B) were significantly increased in STZ-induced diabetic rats, but those for PDE4D were not. We conclude that the impairment of EDHF-type relaxations in STZ-induced diabetic rats may be attributed to a reduction in the action of cAMP via increased PDE activity.
