The potential transient vanilloid receptor type 1 (TRPV1) plays important functional roles in the vascular system. In the present study, we explored the role of the TRPV1 in the production of nitric oxide (NO), biopterines (BH4 and BH2), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), malondialdehyde (MDA), phosphodiesterase-3 (PDE-3), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the rat aorta. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) capsaicin (CS, 20 mg/kg), (3) capsazepine (CZ, 24 mg/kg), and (4) CZ + CS. Treatments were applied daily for 4 days before removing the thoracic aortas for testing of aortic tissue and endothelial cells. TRPV1 activation produced increases in BH4 14%, cGMP 25%, NO 29%, and TAC 59.2% in comparison to the controls. BH2 and MDA increased with CZ. CGRP shows a tendency to decrease with CZ. The analysis by immunocytochemistry confirmed that the TRPV1 is present in aortic endothelial cells. Aortic endothelial cells were obtained from healthy rats and cultured to directly explore the effects of CS and CZ. The activation of the TRPV1 (CS 30 μM) produced increases in BH4 17%, NO 36.6%, TAC 56.3%, and CGRP 65%, when compared to controls. BH2 decreased with CZ + CS. CS effects were diminished by CZ in cells and in the tissue. We conclude that the TRPV1 is a structure present in the membrane of aortic endothelial cells and that it participates in the production of NO. The importance of the TRPV1 should be considered in vascular reactivity studies.

The influence of modulation of cytoskeleton by colchicine, nocodazole and cytochalasine D on contractile reactions of smooth muscle cells caused by depolarization, phenylephrine end sodium nitroprusside has been investigated by the mechanographical method. It was found that the reduction in smooth muscle cells of rat aorta caused by fenilefrin more sensitive to sodium nitroprusside than the reduction induced hyperpotassium solution. We show that microtubules involved in relaxation, indirect nitric oxide of smooth muscle in hyperpotassium solution, whereas the efficiency of relaxing influence of nitric oxide in rat aorta smooth muscle in the action depends on phenylephrine and microfilaments and microtubules.
