Role of ceramide in TNF-α-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in coronary arteries

DX Zhang, FX Yi, AP Zou, PL Li - American Journal of …, 2002 - journals.physiology.org
The present study tested the hypothesis that ceramide, a sphingomylinase metabolite,
serves as an second messenger for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) to stimulate superoxide
production, thereby decreasing endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in coronary arteries.
In isolated bovine small coronary arteries, TNF-α (1 ng/ml) markedly attenuated vasodilator
responses to bradykinin and A-23187. In the presence of N G-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester,
TNF-α produced no further inhibition on the vasorelaxation induced by these vasodilators …
