To investigate the involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2 (MAPKerk1/2) in the vasopressin-mediated vasoconstriction in the rat aorta. Vasopressin-induced vasoconstriction was measured in isolated rat thoracic aortae in the presence or absence of MAPKerk1/2 kinase (MKKmek1/2) inhibitors. Thereafter the MAPKerk1/2 phosphorylation in the rat aorta was quantified using Western blot analysis. Vasopressin (1-300 nm) induced a concentration-dependent vasoconstriction, which could be inhibited concentration dependently by the selective MKKmek1/2 inhibitors, PD 98059 (10 and 100 microm) and U 0126 (10 and 100 microm). Western blot analysis revealed a 2.7 +/- 0.6-fold increase in the MAPKerk1/2 phosphorylation induced by vasopressin (300 nm). This phosphorylation could be dose dependently prevented by both PD 98059 (100 microm) and U 0126 (10 and 100 microm). These results indicate that vasoconstriction induced by vasopressin is partly regulated by the MAPKerk1/2 pathway.
