Figure 2. Panx is involved in PE constriction of TDA.
The effect of cumulative concentrations of PE on internal diameter of pressurized TDA was significantly decreased after treatment with Panx inhibitors: (A) mefloquine (10 μmol/L), (B) 10Panx1 peptide (200 μmol/L) and (C) probenecid (2 mmol/L and 500μmol/L). (D), effect of apyrase (1 U/mL and 10 U/mL). We also inhibited purinergic receptors with suramin (100 μmol/L and 300 μmol/L), (E) and P2Y receptors with RB-2 (75 μmol/L); (F). n indicates the number of vessels and the value in parentheses is the number of mice. *P<0.05.
