The hypothesis that endothelium-dependent components contribute to the cerebromicrovascular dilation to hypoxia in the newborn pig was addressed. Piglets anesthetized with ketamine-acepromazine and maintained on alpha-chloralose were equipped with closed cranial windows. Injury to the endothelium of pial arterioles was produced by light activation of fluorescein dye. Light/dye injury reduced the pial arteriolar dilation to hypoxia (5 min, arterial PO2 approximately 30 mmHg) from 57 +/- 9 to 19 +/- 5%. Light/dye injury abolished the pial arteriolar dilation to hypercapnia but did not affect dilation to sodium nitroprusside. The pial arteriolar dilation to hypoxia was not affected by tetrodotoxin, N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine, glibenclamide, iberiotoxin, charybdotoxin, tetraethylammonium, or 8-phenyltheophylline. Hypoxia caused increases in the cerebral cortical production of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. Cerebral vasodilation to hypoxia was inhibited by 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid but was not greatly affected by cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase inhibitors. In contrast, the cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase inhibitor miconazol decreased cerebral vasodilation to hypoxia from 45 +/- 5 to 17 +/- 4%. Therefore, the vascular endothelium appears to participate in cerebral microvascular dilation to hypoxia in newborn pigs. The mechanism may include cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid.
