Orthovanadate (OVA), a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, induces vasoconstriction in a Rho kinase-dependent manner. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism underlying OVA-induced vasoconstriction of rat mesenteric arteries. OVA-induced constriction of mesenteric arterial rings treated with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 0.1 mM), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, was significantly blocked by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 (R-(+)-trans-N-(4-pyridyl)-4-(1-aminoethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxamide, 10 µM), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (Erk1/2) inhibitor FR180204 (5-(2-phenyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazin-3-ylamine, 10 µM), Erk1/2 kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 (2′-amino-3′-methoxyflavone, 10 µM), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor AG1478 (4-(3-chloroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline, 10 µM), and Src inhibitor PP2 (4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(t-butyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, 3 µM). However, the myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 (1-(5-iodonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-homopiperazine, 10 µM) did not affect OVA-induced constriction. Phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (MYPT1, an index of Rho kinase activity) was abrogated by inhibitors of Src, EGFR MEK, Erk1/2, and Rho kinase. OVA-stimulated Erk1/2 phosphorylation was blocked by inhibitors of EGFR, Src, MEK, and Erk1/2 but not affected by an inhibitor of Rho kinase. OVA-induced Src phosphorylation was abrogated by an Src inhibitor but not affected by inhibitors of EGFR, MEK, Erk1/2, and Rho kinase. In addition, the metalloproteinase inhibitor TAPI-0 (N-(R)-[2-(hydroxyaminocarbonyl)methyl]-4-methylpentanoyl-L-naphthylalanyl-L-alanine amide, 10 µM) and an inhibitor of heparin/epidermal growth factor binding (CRM 197, 10 µg/mL) did not affect OVA-induced contraction of rat mesenteric arterial rings. These results suggest that OVA induces vasoconstriction in rat mesenteric arteries via Src, EGFR, MEK, and Erk1/2 activation, leading to the inactivation of myosin light chain phosphatase through phosphorylation of MYPT1.
