Bradykinin relaxes porcine coronary artery in an endothelium-dependent manner that is not dependent on release of nitric oxide or cyclic GMP accumulation. The mechanism of this relaxation was investigated in rings of porcine coronary artery by comparing bradykinin-induced relaxation with that induced by cromakalim, an agent know to cause hyperpolarization mediated by potassium channels. Relaxation to bradykinin was determined in rings treated with methylene blue, indomethacin and captopril to inhibit cyclic GMP accumulation, prostaglandin formation and bradykinin degradation, respectively. Relaxation to cromakalim was inhibited by the potassium channel blockers glybenclamide (10(-6) M), tetraethylammonium (10(-2) M), quinine (3 x 10(-5) M) and procaine (5 x 10(-3) M), whereas barium (10(-4) M) and 4-amino-pyridine (10(-3) M) were without effect. None of these potassium channel blockers had any effect on the relaxation to bradykinin. These results suggest that relaxation of pig coronary artery to cromakalim is mediated by a mechanism sensitive to potassium channel blockers. Also, the mechanism of nitric oxide-independent relaxation to bradykinin is distinct from that of cromakalim.
