| Description | Journal: Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology Microvascular obstruction is a common repercussion of percutaneous coronary intervention for distal microembolization, ischemia–reperfusion injury and inflammation, which increases post-myocardial infarction heart failure and mortality. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble cavitation (UTMC) may resolve microvascular obstruction while activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and increasing endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Nitrite, a cardioprotective agent, offers an additional source of NO and potential synergy with UTMC. UTMC and nitrite co-therapy increased microvascular perfusion and NO concentration in a rat hindlimb model. Using N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester for eNOS blockade, we found a three-way interaction effect between nitrite, UTMC and eNOS on microvascular perfusion and NO production. Modulating ultrasound peak negative acoustic pressure (0.33–1.5 MPa) significantly affected outcomes, while microbubble dosage (2 × $10^{8}$ bubbles/mL, 1.5 mL/h to 1 × $10^{9}$ bubbles/mL, 3 mL/h) did not. Nitrite co-therapy also protected against oxidative stress. Comparison of nitrite to sodium nitroprusside with UTMC revealed synergistic effects were specific to nitrite. Synergy between UTMC and nitrite holds therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disease. |
