Mupanomunda, Maria, Jeffrey F. Williams, Charles D. Mackenzie, and Lana Kaiser. Dirofilaria immitis:heartworm infection alters pulmonary artery endothelial cell behavior. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(2): 389–398, 1997.—The pathogenesis of filariasis has generally been attributed to either physical presence of the adult parasites or the host’s immune response to the parasites. However, the spectrum of filariasis cannot be entirely explained by these causes, and other mechanisms must be operative. It is now evident that factors released by filarial parasites likely contribute to the pathogenesis of filarial diseases. Adult heartworms ( Dirofilaria immitis) reside in the right heart and pulmonary artery, so the pulmonary artery should be exposed to the highest concentration of filarial factors. We tested the hypothesis that endothelium-dependent relaxation is altered in the in vitro pulmonary artery from heartworm-infected dogs. Relaxation responses to endothelium-dependent vasodilators (methacholine, bradykinin, substance P, and A-23187) and the non-endothelium-dependent vasodilator nitroglycerin and contractile responses were measured in rings of pulmonary artery from control and heartworm-infected dogs. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was assessed in the presence and absence of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase, and guanylate cyclase. Responses to methacholine, substance P, and A-23187, but not to bradykinin, nitroglycerin, norepinephrine, or KCl, were depressed in pulmonary artery from heartworm-infected dogs when compared with control, suggesting that changes in endothelial cell and not vascular smooth muscle behavior are involved in altered relaxation. The mechanism of endothelium-dependent relaxation in control pulmonary artery appears to involve nitric oxide in the case of methacholine and both nitric oxide and a cyclooxygenase product in the case of bradykinin and A-23187. The mechanism of endothelium-dependent relaxation in pulmonary artery from heartworm-infected dogs was not clearly elucidated. These data provide no evidence that heartworm infection globally influences either endothelial cell receptor function or the vascular smooth muscle guanylate cyclase guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate system, making it likely that changes in intracellular signaling are primarily responsible for the observed alteration of endothelium-mediated relaxation. Alteration of endothelial cell function by filarial parasites may be an important component in the pathology associated with filariasis.
