Sympathetic Nerve Terminal

Cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal dysfunction plays an important role in the downregulation of myocardial β-adrenoceptors in heart failure. To determine whether chronic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition improved cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal function and hence increased myocardial β-adrenergic responsiveness, we administered ACE inhibitors to dogs with chronic right-sided heart failure (RHF) produced by tricuspid avulsion and pulmonary artery constriction. The RHF animals exhibited fluid retention, elevated right heart filling pressures, blunted inotropic response to isoproterenol, and reduced β-adrenoceptor density. These changes were accompanied by decreases in right ventricular norepinephrine (NE) uptake and neuronal NE histofluorescence and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive profiles. ACE inhibitors had no effect on the production of heart failure but greatly reduced the attenuation of cardiac NE uptake, neuronal NE histofluorescence, and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive profiles. ACE inhibition also improved the inotropic response to isoproterenol and restored myocardial β-adrenoceptor density. The changes probably are caused by reduction of cardiac NE release by ACE inhibition and may contribute to the beneficial effects of ACE inhibitor therapy in patients with chronic heart failure.

Chronic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition has been shown to improve cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal function in heart failure. To determine whether similar effects could be produced by angiotensin II AT1 receptor blockade, we administered the ACE inhibitor quinapril, angiotensin II AT1 receptor blocker losartan, or both agents together, to rabbits with pacing-induced heart failure. Chronic rapid pacing produced left ventricular dilation and decline of fractional shortening, increased plasma norepinephrine (NE), and caused reductions of myocardial NE uptake activity, NE histofluorescence profile, and tyrosine hydroxylase immunostained profile. Administration of quinapril or losartan retarded the progression of left ventricular dysfunction and attenuated cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal abnormalities in heart failure. Quinapril and losartan together produced greater effects than either agent alone. The effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibition on improvement of left ventricular function and remodeling, however, was not sustained. Our results suggest that the effects of ACE inhibitors are mediated via the reduction of angiotensin II and that angiotensin II plays a pivotal role in modulating cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal function during development of heart failure. The combined effect of ACE inhibition and angiotensin II AT1 receptor blockade on cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal dysfunction may contribute to the beneficial effects on cardiac function in heart failure.

We applied a dialysis technique to the hearts of anesthetized cats and examined whether the concentration of dialysate norepinephrine (NE) reflected NE disposition at the cardiac sympathetic nerve terminals. Dialysis probes were implanted in the left ventricular wall, and dialysate NE concentrations were measured as an index of myocardial interstitial NE levels. Stimulation of stellate ganglia significantly increased dialysate NE responses that were suppressed by local administration of an NE-releasing inhibitor (omega-conotoxin GVIA, 10 microM). Increments in basal dialysate NE levels were correlated with concentrations of a locally administered neuronal uptake blocker (desipramine; 1, 10, and 100 microM). Desipramine (100 microM) augmented stimulation-induced dialysate NE responses. Local administration of a neuronal vesicle uptake blocker (reserpine, 1 and 10 microM) did not alter dialysate NE levels but increased dialysate dihydroxyphenylglycol levels. An NE-releasing amine (tyramine, 100 microg/ml) was locally administered to examine NE storage capacity at the nerve terminal. The tyramine-induced NE-releasing response was completely abolished by pretreatment with reserpine (1 mg/kg i.p.). Thus cardiac dialysis with local administration of a pharmacological tool offers a new, concise approach to assessment of neuronal NE release, uptake, vesicle uptake, and storage capacity by cardiac sympathetic nerve terminals.
