摘要


BACKGROUND:Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common life-threatening complication among premature infants. Although cyclooxygenase inhibitors are frequently used to treat PDA, as they inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin E(2), the most potent vasodilator in the ductus arteriosus (DA), their efficacy is often limited. As thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) induces vascular contraction via the TXA(2) receptor (TP), we hypothesized that TP stimulation would promote DA closure. METHOD:To measure the inner diameter of the vessels, a rapid whole-body freezing method was used. RESULTS:Injection of the selective TP agonists U46619 and I-BOP constricted the fetal DA at embryonic day 19 (e19) and e21 in a dose-dependent manner. Of note, U46619 also exerted a vasoconstrictive effect on two different types of postnatal PDA models: premature PDA and hypoxia-induced PDA. We also found that U46619 constricted the ex vivo DA ring to a greater extent than it constricted the ex vivo aorta. Furthermore, we found that U46619 at lower concentrations (up to 0.05 mg/g of body weight) had a minimal vasoconstrictive effect on other vessels and did not induce microthrombosis in the pulmonary capillary arteries. CONCLUSION:Low-dose TP stimulation constricts the DA with minimal adverse effects at least in rat neonates and our results could point to an alternative potent vasoconstrictor for PDA.
