摘要：Accumulating evidence demonstrates that microcirculation plays a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In the current study, we demonstrated that pancreatic islet microvascular vasomotion of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) lost the ability to regulate blood flow perfusion and exhibited a lower microvascular blood perfusion pattern which was negative correlated with blood glucose level. SHRs administrated with insulin revealed an improvement of pancreatic islet microvascular vasomotion and blood perfusion pattern. In vitro, the expressions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and phospho-eNOSser1177 (p-eNOSser1177) were significantly decreased in high glucose exposed islet endothelial cells (iECs), accompanied with a higher ratio of eNOS monomer to eNOS dimer and a significantly increased malondialdehyde and nitrite levels. Meanwhile, barrier function, tube formation and migration capacities of high glucose exposed iECs were significantly inhibited. In contrast, iECs dysfunction induced by glucose toxicity and oxidative stress was attenuated or improved by supplement with insulin, L-arginine and β-mercaptoethanol. In summary, our findings suggest that functional status of pancreatic islet microvascular vasomotion is impaired in SHRs and provide evidence that treatment with insulin, L-arginine and β-mercaptoethanol improves endothelium-dependent microvascular vasomotion and meliorates iECs function due to anti-hyperglycemic and anti-oxidative effects, partly through mechanism involving regulation of eNOS and p-eNOSser1177.
