Changemaking
• Our long-term goal is to identify novel vascular mechanisms mediating vasodilation and inflammation that may lead to new therapies
• Our hypothesis is that specific odorant receptors are expressed in arteries and endogenous and synthetic ligands for these odorant receptors cause vasodilation and inhibit inflammation

Membrane-spanning 4-Domain Family (A subfamily) of Proteins- MS4A Family
1. Located on necklace sensory neurons in olfactory epithelium 2. CD20 on B cells is a member of this family 3. Involved in chemosensory detection of fatty acids as oleic and arachidonic acids (Ms4a6d), ⍺-linolenic acid (Ms4a4b) and steroids as corticosterone (Ms4a4d) 4. Activation promotes calcium influx

Conclusions
1. Human and murine vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells express specific odorant receptors.
2. These vascular cells also express odorant receptor signal proteins, Gαolf and adenylyl cyclase III but not CNG cation channels.
3. The odorant ligands for the vascular odorant receptors are unknown.
4. HeLa, Odora7, HEK293 and Hana3a cells were tested for expression of odorant receptors and Hana3a cells were superior.
5. A ligand screening methods was developed using odorant receptor overexpressing Hana3a cells.
6. No ligands for the major mouse vascular odorant receptor were found. Future studies will focus on identify ligands.
7. Vascular cells also express specific Ms4a proteins. These proteins mediate calcium entry into nasal epithelial cells in response to specific odorants. Ligands for the vascular Ms4a proteins did not increase intracellular calcium.

Future Work
1. Screen human and mouse vascular odorant receptors for potential ligands 2. Test ligands for effects on vascular tone and inflammation
