Vascular smooth muscle relaxation in response to chemically diverse naturally occurring neurotransmitters and autacoids has been attributed to the formation and/or release of one or more vascular endothelium- derived relaxing factors (EDRFs) distinct from prostacyclin. The chemical, biochemical, and pharmacological properties of one such EDRF resemble closely the properties of nitric oxide (NO). Thus, both arterial and venous EDRFs as well as authentic NO cause heme-dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, endothelium-independent vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle relaxation accompanied by tissue cyclic GMP formation, and inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion to endothelial cell surfaces. EDRF from artery, vein, and freshly harvested and cultured aortic endothelial cells was recently identified as NO or a labile nitroso species as assessed by chemical assay and bioassay. Endothelium-derived NO (EDNO) has an ultrashort half-life of 3-5 s due to spontaneous oxidation to nitrite and nitrate, both of which have only weak biological activity. EDNO can be synthesized from L-arginine and possibly other basic amino acids and polypeptides, perhaps by oxidative metabolic pathways that could involve polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived oxygen radicals. Inorganic nitrite could serve as both a stored precursor and an inactivation product of EDNO. EDNO and related EDRFs may serve physiological and/or pathophysiological roles in the regulation of local blood flow and platelet function.
