一氧化氮和K+通道参与乙酰胆碱引起的大鼠离体输精管平滑肌细胞超极化

本文旨在探讨大鼠新鲜离体输精管平滑肌细胞中乙酰胆碱（acetylcholine,ACh）引起超极化反应的机制,采用细胞内微电极记录技术和细胞内荧光标记技术研究ACh对大鼠输精管不同走行方向平滑肌细胞的作用。用尖端含0．1％碘化吡啶（propidium iodide,PI）的记录电极标记电生理记录后的平滑肌细胞,其中37个为外层纵行细胞,17个为内层环行细胞。它们的平均静息膜电位分别为（-53．56±3．88）mV和（-51．62±4．27）mV,膜输入阻抗分别为（2245．60±372．50）MQ和（2101．50±513．50）MQ。ACh引起的膜超极化反应是浓度依赖性的,EC50为36 μmol／L。ACh引起的超极化反应可被非选择性的毒草碱（muscarinic receptor,M）受体阻断剂阿托品（atropine,1 μmol／L）和选择性的M3受体阻断剂diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine-methiodide（DAMP,100nmol/L）阻断。ACh引起的超极化还能被一氧化氮合酶抑制剂L-硝基-精氨酸甲酯（N-nitro-L-arginine methylester,L．NAME,300μmol／L）阻断,并可被ATP敏感的钾通道阻断剂glipizide（5μmol／L）或内向整流钾通道阻断剂钡离子（50μmol／L）部分阻断。Glipizide和钡离子联合使用可完全阻断ACh引起的超极化反应。上述结果表明：ACh通过作用于大鼠输精管平滑肌细胞膜上的M3受体引起超极化反应,一氧化氮、ATP敏感性钾通道和内向整流钾通道参与了ACh引起的超极化反应。

ACh-evoked membrane hyperpolarization in smooth muscle cells of rat vas deferens in vitro: involvement of K(+) channels and NO

To explore the underlying mechanism of acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked membrane hyperpolarizing response in isolated rat vas deferens smooth muscle cells (SMCs), intracellular microelectrode recording technique and intracellular microelectrophoresis fluorescent staining technique were used to study ACh-evoked membrane hyperpolarizing response in SMCs freshly isolated from Wistar rat vas deferens. By using microelectrodes containing fluorescent dye 0.1% propidium iodide (PI), 37 and 17 cells were identified as SMCs in outer longitudinal and inner circular muscular layers, respectively. The resting membrane potentials of SMCs were (-53.56+/-3.88) mV and (-51.62+/-4.27) mV, respectively. The membrane input resistances were (2245.60+/-372.50) MOmega and (2101.50+/-513.50) MOmega, respectively. ACh evoked membrane hyperpolarizing response in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC(50) of 36 micromol/L. This action of ACh was abolished by both a non-sepcific muscarinic (M) receptor antagonist atropine (1 mumol/L) and a selective M(3 ) receptor antagonist diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine-methiodide (DAMP, 100 nmol/L). ACh-evoked membrane hyperpolarization was also abolished by a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 300 micromol/L) and suppressed by an ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel blocker glipizide (5 micromol/L) and an inward rectifier potassium (K(ir)) channel inhibitor bariumion (50 micromol/L). A combination of glipizide and bariumion abolished ACh-evoked membrane hyperpolarizing response. The results suggest that ACh-evoked membrane hyperpolarization in rat vas deferens SMCs is mediated by M(3) receptor followed with activation of K(ATP) channels, K(ir) channels, and NO release.
