Abstract

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are neuroprotective in numerous models. Impairment of cerebrovascular reactivity (CR) contributes to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced neuronal damage. Wetestedwhether PACAP and/or VIP preserve CR to I/R-sensitive dilator responses dependent on endothelial and/or neuronal function. Accordingly, changes in pial arteriolar diameters in response to hypercapnia (5–10% CO2 ventilation) or topical N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA, 10−4 M) were determined before and after I/R via intravital microscopy in anesthetized/ventilated piglets. Local pretreatment with non-vasoactive doses of PACAP (10−8 M) and VIP (10−9 M) prevented the attenuation of postischemic CR to hypercapnia; to 10% CO2, the CR values were 27±8%vs 92±5%⁎ vs 88±13%⁎ (vehicle vs PACAP38 vs VIP, CR expressed as a percentage of the response before I/R, mean±SEM, n=8–8, ⁎p<0.05). PACAP, but not VIP, preserved CR to NMDA after I/R, with CR values of 31±10% vs 87±8%⁎ vs 35±12% (vehicle vs PACAP38 vs VIP, n=6–6). Unlike PACAP, VIP-induced vasodilation has not yet been investigated in the piglet. We tested whether VIP-induced arteriolar dilation was sensitive to inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 (SC-560, 1 mg/kg), COX-2 (NS-398, 1 mg/kg), indomethacin (5 mg/kg), and nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME, 15 mg/kg). VIP (10−8–10−7–10−6 M, n=8) induced reproducible, dosedependent vasodilation of 16±3%, 33±6%⁎, and 70±8%⁎. The response was unaffected by all drugs, except that the vasodilation to 10−8MVIP was abolished by SC-560 and indomethacin. In conclusion, PACAP and VIP differentially preserve postischemic CR; independent of their vasodilatory effect.
