Abstract Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most common pathologies of pregnancy. The cardiovascular consequences of IUGR do not disappear in adulthood and can manifest themselves in pathological alterations of vasomotor control. The hypothesis was tested that IUGR weakens anticontractile influence of NO and augments procontractile influence of Rho-kinase in arteries of adult offspring. To model IUGR in the rat, dams were 50% food restricted starting from the gestational day 11 till delivery. Mesenteric and coronary arteries of male offspring were studied at the age of 3 months using wire myography, qPCR, and Western Blotting. Contractile responses of mesenteric arteries to α1-adrenoceptor agonist methoxamine as well as influences of NO and Rho-kinase did not differ between control and IUGR rats. However, coronary arteries of IUGR rats demonstrated elevated contraction to thromboxane A2 receptor agonist U46619 due to weakened anticontractile influence of NO and enhanced role of Rho-kinase in the endothelium. This was accompanied by reduced abundance of SODI protein and elevated content of RhoA protein in coronary arteries of IUGR rats. IUGR considerably changes the regulation of coronary vascular tone in adulthood and, therefore, can serve as a risk factor for the development of cardiac disorders.
