Epidemiological evidence suggests a role for sex-dependent mechanisms in the pathophysiology of hypertension. It has been shown that 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) administration (56 mg/kg of body weight per day IP for 14 days) increases blood pressure, cytochrome P450 4A expression, and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid synthesis in rats. We examined whether increased vascular 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid synthesis underlies endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in DHT-treated male Sprague-Dawley rats by using HET0016, a selective cytochrome P450 4A inhibitor. Coadministration of HET0016 (10 mg/kg per day IP for 14 days) to DHT-treated rats markedly reduced DHT-induced interlobar arterial production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (14.3+/-1.5 versus 1.5+/-0.5 ng/mg of protein per hour; P<0.05), superoxide anion (246+/-47 versus 31+/-8 cpm/microg of protein), and the levels of gp91-phox, p47-phox, and 3-nitrosylated proteins. Moreover, the maximal relaxing response to acetylcholine in phenylephrine-preconstricted renal interlobar arteries from DHT-treated rats (42.8+/-4.8%) significantly (P<0.05) increased in the presence of HET0016 (81.5+/-10.8%). Importantly, the administration of HET0016 negated DHT-induced hypertension; systolic blood pressure was reduced from 146+/-2 mm Hg in DHT-treated rats to 130+/-1 mm Hg (P<0.05). The results strongly implicate vascular cytochrome P450 4A-derived 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in the development of androgen-induced endothelial dysfunction and hypertension.
