| Abstract | Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the "lifeline" for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. AVF maturation failure is a poorly understood process, one of the contributors being endothelial dysfunction due to oxidative stress. Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) A and B were recently identified as novel sources of vascular oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to assess the contribution of MAOs to the endothelial dysfunction in patients with ESDR with indication of hemodialysis. Fragments of brachial artery collaterals were harvested from ESRD patients during the surgical procedure aimed at creating the vascular access in the cubital fossa. The effect of increasing concentrations (10, 30, 100 μmol/L) of the irreversible MAO-A inhibitor, clorgyline, and MAO-B inhibitor, selegiline, on endothelial-dependent relaxation (EDR) in response to cumulative doses of acetylcholine was studied in isolated phenylephrine-preconstricted vascular rings. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production was assessed using ferrous oxidation xylenol orange assay. We showed that incubation of brachial rings with MAO inhibitors significantly improved EDR and attenuated H2O2 generation in patients with ESRD. MAO-related oxidative stress might contribute to the primary dysfunction/non-maturation of the AVF and MAO inhibitors could improve maturation and long-term patency of the vascular access in dialysis patients. |
