In the skin of humans and rodents, local pressure induces localized cutaneous vasodilation, which may be protective against pressure-induced microvascular dysfunction and lesion formation. Once activated by the local pressure application, capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibers release neuropeptides that act on the endothelium to synthesize and release nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins, leading to the development of the cutaneous pressure-induced vasodilation (PIV). The present study was undertaken to test in vivo the hypothesis that PIV is mediated or modulated by differential activation of K+ channels in anesthetized rats using pharmacological methods. Local pressure was applied at 11.1 Pa/s. Endothelium-independent and -dependent vasodilation were tested using iontophoretic delivery of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and acetylcholine (ACh), respectively, and was correlated with PIV response. PIV was reduced after systemic administration of tetraethylammonium (a nonspecific K+ channel blocker), iberiotoxin [a specific large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channel blocker], and glibenclamide [a specific ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel blocker], whereas PIV was unchanged by apamin (a specific small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+channel blocker) and 4-aminopyridine (a specific voltage-sensitive K+ channel blocker). The responses to SNP and ACh were reduced by iberiotoxin but were unchanged by glibenclamide. We conclude that the cellular mechanism of PIV in skin involves BKCa and KATP channels. We suggest that the opening of BKCa and KATP channels contributes to the hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells to produce PIV development mainly via the NO and prostaglandin pathways, respectively.

The present study aimed to develop inhalable poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based microparticles of salmon calcitonin (sCT) for sustained pharmacological action by the fine droplet drying (FDD) process, a novel powderization technique employing printing technologies. PLGA was selected as a biodegradable carrier polymer for sustained-release particles of sCT (sCT/SR), and physicochemical characterizations of sCT/SR were conducted. To estimate the in vivo efficacy of the sCT/SR respirable powder (sCT/SR-RP), plasma calcium levels were measured after intratracheal administration in rats. The particle size of sCT/SR was 3.6 µm, and the SPAN factor, one of the parameters to present the uniformity of particle size distribution, was calculated to be 0.65. In the evaluation of the conformational structure of sCT, no significant changes were observed in sCT/SR even after the FDD process. The drug release from sCT/SR showed a biphasic pattern with an initial burst and slow diffusion in simulated lung fluid. sCT/SR-RP showed fine inhalation performance, as evidenced by a fine particle fraction value of 28% in the cascade impactor analysis. After the insufflation of sCT samples (40 µg-sCT/kg) in rats, sCT/SR-RP could enhance and prolong the hypocalcemic action of sCT possibly due to the sustained release and pulmonary absorption of sCT. From these observations, the strategic application of the FDD process could be efficacious to provide PLGA-based inhalable formulations of sCT, as well as other therapeutic peptides, to enhance their biopharmaceutical potentials.
