Vitamin B6 is necessary for normal cell membrane function and stability. We studied both the function and ultrastructure of aortic and arterial endothelial cells (EC) in vitamin B6 deficiency induced by vitamin B6 antagonists 4-deoxypyridoxine HCl (dPN·HCl) and isonicotinylhydrazide (INH) given in drinking water to 1-mo-old ICR mice. The mice were fed normal laboratory chow and divided into 3 groups. Mice in group I were given distilled water (control), group II was given 0.1 mg dPN·HCl/mL water, and group III 0.4 mg INH/mL water. After 5 mo the blood plasma concentrations of B6 vitamers pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxal (PL) were analyzed by HPLC. With arachidonic acid (AA) as a precursor, the PGI2 production by EC was assayed by thin-layer chromatog. (TLC) as an indicator of endothelial function. Aorta and arterioles from the foot pad were removed, stained with osmium tetraoxide, and examined by transmission electron microscopy to evaluate the EC ultrastructure. The blood plasma concentrations of PLP, PL, and total B6 were lowest for mice fed INH, followed by dPN·HCl and control. The PGI2 production was paralleled by the plasma vitamin B6 status, with the lowest levels in the INH group, followed by the dPN·HCl group. Abnormalities in the EC ultrastructure were found in both dPN·HCl and INH groups, including cells detached from underlying elastic tissue, with prominent pinocytotic vesicles and swelling and/or indistinct cristae of mitochondria. Thus, vitamin B6 antagonists can induce a deficient status that alters the function and ultrastructure of EC similar to vascular disease.
