Diverse C-terminal heptapeptide derivatives related to substance P, kassinin, physalaemin, neurokinin A and B were synthesized and the contracting activities on the guinea pig ileum as well as rat duodenum were compared. In the partial sequence of C-terminal of tachykinin peptides, -I-II-Phe-III-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, the combination of amino acid residues at positions I and III have significant roles in contraction of smooth muscle. For the activation of rat duodenal muscle (SP-E), Asp(I) and aliphatic amino acid(III), and for guinea pig ileal muscle(SP-P), Gln(I) and aromatic amino acid(III) are essential. Moreover, guinea pig ileum is sensitive to a full sequence of neurokinin peptides.  相似文献

Reactive airway disease predisposes patients to episodes of acute smooth muscle mediated bronchoconstriction. We have for the first time recently demonstrated the expression and function of endogenous ionotropic GABA(A) channels on airway smooth muscle cells. We questioned whether endogenous GABA(A) channels on airway smooth muscle could augment beta-agonist-mediated relaxation. Guinea pig tracheal rings or human bronchial airway smooth muscles were equilibrated in organ baths with continuous digital tension recordings. After pretreatment with or without the selective GABA(A) antagonist gabazine (100 muM), airway muscle was contracted with acetylcholine or beta-ala neurokinin A, followed by relaxation induced by cumulatively increasing concentrations of isoproterenol (1 nM to 1 muM) in the absence or presence of the selective GABA(A) agonist muscimol (10-100 muM). In separate experiments, guinea pig tracheal rings were pretreated with the large conductance K(Ca) channel blocker iberiotoxin (100 nM) after an EC(50) contraction with acetylcholine but before cumulatively increasing concentrations of isoproterenol (1 nM to 1 uM) in the absence or presence of muscimol (100 uM). GABA(A) activation potentiated the relaxant effects of isoproterenol after an acetylcholine or tachykinin-induced contraction in guinea pig tracheal rings or an acetylcholine-induced contraction in human endobronchial smooth muscle. This muscimol-induced potentiation of relaxation was abolished by gabazine pretreatment but persisted after blockade of the maxi K(Ca) channel. Selective activation of endogenous GABA(A) receptors significantly augments beta-agonist-mediated relaxation of guinea pig and human airway smooth muscle, which may have important therapeutic implications for patients in severe bronchospasm.  相似文献

The effect of (9, 11), (11, 12)-didedoxa-9 alpha, 11-alpha-dimethylmethano-11,12-methano-13,14-dihydro-13-aza-14-oxo -15-cyclo-pentyl-16, 17, 18, 19, 20-pentanor-15-epi-TxA2 (ONO-3708) on 9,11-methanoepoxy-prostaglandin H2 (U-46619)-induced contraction of airway smooth muscle in the guinea pigs and human in vitro and bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs in vivo was investigated. In in vitro experiments, ONO-3708 inhibited the U-46619-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig and human tracheal smooth muscle in a dose related fashion (guinea pig; pA2=7.78, human; pA2 = 7.43). The contractions of guinea pig tracheal muscle caused by histamine and leukotriene D4 (LTD4) were not inhibited by ONO-3708. In in vivo experiments, intravenous injection of ONO-3708 at doses between 1 and 20 mg/kg inhibited the U-46619-induced increase of airway insufflation pressure as measured by Konzett-R?ssler method. In addition, ONO-3708 inhibited the U-46619-induced increase in airway reactivity to acetylcholine. These data suggest that ONO-3708 has possible therapeutic utility for asthma in which TxA2 participates.  相似文献

A new vasoactive peptide, formed by the action of a Murphy-Sturm lymphosarcoma acid protease on rat plasma kininogen was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 (fine) and fractions assayed on the isolated rat uterus for smooth muscle stimulating activity. The most active fraction was purified further by CM-cellulose chromatography. High voltage electrophoresis showed the peptide to be one component (Mgly 2.49) with an electrophoretic mobility different from bradykinin, lysyl-bradykinin and methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin. The molecular weight of the peptide was estimated on Sephadex G-25 column to be 1460. The amino acid composition was determined and the carboxyl terminal sequence identified by carboxypeptidase Y treatment to be Pro-Phe-Arg-Leu. Dansyl-Edman procedure yielded an amino terminal sequence of Ile-Ser-Arg-Pro. The peptide produced a dose-dependent contraction of the isolated guinea pig anterior mesenteric vein and relaxed the rabbit superior mesenteric artery contracted by phenylephrine.  相似文献

The existence of substance P immunoreactive nerves in the trachea of guinea pig is known. In this study, capsaicin induced a long-lasting and marked contraction in the guinea pig trachea and nicotine-induced contraction was partially reduced in the capsaicin-treated muscle. Furthermore, the contractile response to nicotine (10(-5) M) in the presence of atropine (10(-7) M) was abolished by a substance P antagonist, [D-Arg1, D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9 Leu11]substance P (10(-5) M). These findings suggest that noncholinergic contractile response to nicotine may be due to the release of material(s) resembling substance P in the isolated tracheal smooth muscle preparation of guinea pig.  相似文献

Isoprenaline and forskolin both inhibit contractions induced by antigen or by the calcium ionophore A23187 of guinea pig tracheal spirals and parenchymal strips. Antigen-induced airway contraction is considerably more sensitive to the inhibitory effects of isoprenaline than is A23187-induced contraction. In contrast, forskolin is equiactive as an inhibitor of antigenic and ionophoric contractions. Forskolin is a more effective inhibitor of the prolonged phase of antigen-induced tracheal contraction than of the initial peak phase, which may suggest selectivity for the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism. Isoprenaline inhibits the mechanisms of the primary peak phase and of the prolonged phase equally. Although there were little, if any, differences between normal and sensitized tissues in the modulation of A23187-induced contractions of parenchyma, distinct differences were observed in trachea. Low concentrations (10(-8)-10(-7) M) of isoprenaline and forskolin enhanced A23187-induced contraction of sensitized, but not normal trachea. Higher concentrations were inhibitory. The results demonstrate that sensitization affects the modulation by isoprenaline and forskolin of A23187-induced contraction of guinea pig trachea.  相似文献

Cooling of isolated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle from 38 to 28 degrees C over 2.25 min produced a transient contraction followed by sustained relaxation. The cooling-induced contraction was blocked either by pretreatment with ouabain at concentrations of 10(-5) M or greater or by substitution of normal physiological salt solution with K-free solution. In contrast, the contractile response to cooling was not inhibited by pretreatment with phentolamine (10(-5) M), atropine (10(-5) M), tetrodotoxin (3 X 10(-7) M), diphenhydramine (10(-5) M), cromolyn sodium (10(-3) M), indomethacin (3 X 10(-7) M), nifedipine (10(-7) M), or verapamil (3 X 10(-6) M). Addition of NaHCO3 to the bath during cooling, preventing a change in pH of the physiological salt solution, did not affect the cooling-induced contraction. It is concluded that cooling of isolated guinea pig trachea produces a transient ouabain-sensitive contraction, and that the data suggest the contraction is mediated by inhibition of Na-K-ATPase in the smooth muscle rather than through neuronal stimulation or chemical mediator release.  相似文献

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system and exerts its actions via both ionotropic (GABA(A)) channels and metabotropic (GABA(B)) receptors. GABA(A) channels are ubiquitously expressed in neuronal tissues, and in mature neurons modulate an inward chloride current resulting in neuronal inhibition due to membrane hyperpolarization. In airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells, membrane hyperpolarization favors smooth muscle relaxation. Although GABA(A) channels and GABA(B) receptors have been functionally identified on peripheral nerves in the lung, GABA(A) channels have never been identified on ASM itself. We detected the mRNA encoding of the GABA(A) alpha(4)-, alpha(5)-, beta(3)-, delta-, gamma(1-3)-, pi-, and theta-subunits in total RNA isolated from native human and guinea pig ASM and from cultured human ASM cells. Selected immunoblots identified the GABA(A) alpha(4)-, alpha(5)-, beta(3)-, and gamma(2)-subunit proteins in native human and guinea pig ASM and cultured human ASM cells. The GABA(A) beta(3)-subunit protein was immunohistochemically localized to ASM in guinea pig tracheal rings. While muscimol, a specific GABA(A) channel agonist, did not affect the magnitude or the time to peak contractile effect of substance P, it directly concentration dependently relaxed a tachykinin-induced contraction in guinea pig tracheal rings, which was inhibited by the GABA(A)-selective antagonist gabazine. Muscimol also relaxed a contraction induced by an alternative contractile agonist histamine. These results demonstrate that functional GABA(A) channels are expressed on ASM and suggest a novel therapeutic target for the relaxation of ASM in diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease.  相似文献

The study was aimed to compare the effects of pentoxyphylline, aminophylline, choline theophyllinate and ethymizol on guinea pig and dog trachea with those of theophylline, papaverine and ephedrine. The effects of these drugs on the basal tension, on dose-response curves for muscle contraction produced by histamine and on cAMP level were investigated in guinea pig trachea, together with their influence on the resting and histamine-evoked mechanical and membrane activities of dog trachea. Like papaverine, pentoxyphylline did not alter the resting membrane potential, although it relaxed both tracheal preparations, and it antagonised the effects histamine and raised the cAMP level of the smooth muscle. The effects of ethymizol were similar to those of theophylline and its water soluble derivatives (aminophylline and choline theophyllinate). Whereas, ephedrine although it decreased the basal tension and inhibited histamine-evoked responses, also elicited substantial hyperpolarization of the smooth muscle membrane with no effect on the cAMP level. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that cAMP has an important role in the action of some bronchodilator drugs; however, it is concluded that the possibility of contributing of their action on membrane potential to their action needs to be considered. The similarity of the potencies of ethymizol and pentoxyphylline to that of classical bronchodilators in inhibiting contraction of guinea pig and dog tracheal smooth muscle suggests that they may have a therapeutic value.  相似文献

The sodium–calcium exchanger (NCX) plays a major role in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ in muscle cells. In this work, we performed force experiments to explore the role of NCX during contraction and relaxation of Cch-stimulated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle strips. This tissue showed low sensitivity to NCX inhibitor KB-R7943 (IC50, 57 ± 2 μM), although a complete relaxation was obtained by NCX inhibition at 100 μM. Interestingly, relaxation after washing the agonist was prolonged in the absence of external Na+, whereas washing without Na+ and in the presence of KB-R7943 resembled control conditions with physiological solution. Altogether, this suggests the reversal of NCX to a Ca2+ influx mode by the manipulation on the Na+ gradient, which can be inhibited by KB-R7943. In order to understand the low sensitivity to KB-R7943, we studied the molecular aspects of the NCX expressed in this tissue and found that the isoform of NCX expressed is 1.3, similar to that described in human tracheal smooth muscle. Sequencing revealed that amino acid 19 in exon B is phenylalanine, whereas in its human counterpart is leucine, and that the first amino acid after exon D is aspartate instead of glutamate in humans. Results herein presented are discussed in term of their possible functional implications in the exchanger activity and thus in airway physiology.  相似文献

Both substance-P and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have previously been demonstrated to contract and relax, respectively, the isolated guinea pig trachea. In addition, substance-P and VIP have been localized within the pulmonary innervation of various species. In the present studies, substance-P was found to cause a concentration-related contraction of isolated lung parenchymal strips of the guinea pig, as well as isolated tracheal strips. VIP caused a significant concentration-related relaxation of the isolated tracheal strip, but not the lung parenchymal strip. Indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, potentiated the contractile response of the trachea to substance-P and inhibited the VIP- and isoproterenol-induced relaxation. These studies are potentially important in understanding the pathogenesis of bronchospastic disorders, since alterations in prostaglandin biosynthesis may result in hyperreactivity of airways to contractile agonists such as neurotransmitters, as well as an inhibition of relaxation induced by endogenous substances such as VIP or β agonists.  相似文献

In this study, guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle pre-contracted with histamine was relaxed by the addition of 100microM 8Br-cGMP, a non-hydrolyzable and cell-permeable analog for cGMP. This effect was not sensitive to cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibitors, whereas it was partially blocked by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitors. The relaxation observed was also reverted up to 50+/-8.5% by iberiotoxin, a selective inhibitor of large conductance, calcium-activated potassium channels (BK(Ca)). Our results indicate that there exists a crosstalk mechanism between cAMP and cGMP signaling pathways which lead to relaxation of guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle and also that BK(Ca) channels are involved to a certain extent in this phenomenon.  相似文献

We investigated what adenosine receptor type exists and the signaling pathways on the contraction of circular muscle cells isolated by enzymatic digestion from the cat esophagus. Adenosine or the selective A1 receptor agonist R-PIA causes a concentration-dependent contraction. After pretreatment with A1 receptor antagonist, DPCPX, adenosine-mediated contraction was abolished. Adenosine-induced contraction was significantly increased when A1 receptors were preserved by pretreatment with DPCPX followed by inactivation of all unprotected receptors with N-ethylmaleimide. Adenosine- or R-PIA-induced contraction was significantly augmented in the preserved cells and the increase was abolished in the presence of the A1 receptor antagonist DPCPX. PTX abolished contraction induced by adenosine or R-PIA, implying that contraction activated by A1 receptor was coupled to a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G(i) protein. After permeabilization, contraction was inhibited by G(i2), but not by G(i1) and G(i3), antibodies. These data suggest that adenosine-induced contraction of esophagus depends on PTX-sensitive G(i2.) Adenosine- or R-PIA-induced contraction of esophageal smooth muscle cells was not affected by the phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitor rho-chloromercuribenzoic acid (rhoCMB), phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitor DEDA or PKC antagonist chelerythrine, but was significantly abolished by phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, neomycin. PLC-beta3 antibody inhibited R-PIA-induced contraction. R-PIA-induced contraction of esophageal muscle cells was inhibited by IP(3) receptor antagonist heparin, which suggests that the contraction of esophageal smooth muscle cells is dependent on phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase (PI-PLC) and IP(3). In conclusion, adenosine- and R-PIA-induced contraction in cat esophageal smooth muscle cell was mediated by A1 receptor. A1 receptor is coupled to PTX-sensitive G protein G(i2), which results in the activation of PI-PLC-beta3. PI hydrolysis by PI-PLC forms IP(3), which binds to IP(3) receptor on endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the release of intracellular Ca(2+).  相似文献

Smooth muscle cells isolated from the gastric muscle layers of the guinea pig were used to determine whether gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) can cause contraction by exerting a direct action on muscle cells. In addition, the inhibitory effect of 8-( N,N-diethylamino )-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride ( TMB-8 ), an inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ release, and verapamil, a Ca2+ channel blocker, on the GRP-induced contraction of gastric smooth muscle cells were examined. GRP elicited a contractile response of gastric muscle cells in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 was 13 pM. TMB-8 significantly inhibited the contractile effect of GRP in gastric muscle cells. These results demonstrate the direct action of GRP on the gastric smooth muscle cells of the guinea pig, and the importance of Ca2+-release from intracellular calcium stores in the contractile response to GRP.  相似文献

The prevalence of asthma has taken on pandemic proportions. Since this disease predisposes patients to severe acute airway constriction, novel mechanisms capable of promoting airway smooth muscle relaxation would be clinically valuable. We have recently demonstrated that activation of endogenous airway smooth muscle GABA(A) receptors potentiates β-adrenoceptor-mediated relaxation, and molecular analysis of airway smooth muscle reveals that the α-subunit component of these GABA(A) receptors is limited to the α(4)- and α(5)-subunits. We questioned whether ligands with selective affinity for these GABA(A) receptors could promote relaxation of airway smooth muscle. RT-PCR analysis of GABA(A) receptor subunits was performed on RNA isolated by laser capture microdissection from human and guinea pig airway smooth muscle. Membrane potential and chloride-mediated current were measured in response to GABA(A) subunit-selective agonists in cultured human airway smooth muscle cells. Functional relaxation of precontracted guinea pig tracheal rings was assessed in the absence and presence of the α(4)-subunit-selective GABA(A) receptor agonists: gaboxadol, taurine, and a novel 8-methoxy imidazobenzodiazepine (CM-D-45). Only messenger RNA encoding the α(4)- and α(5)-GABA(A) receptor subunits was identified in RNA isolated by laser capture dissection from guinea pig and human airway smooth muscle tissues. Activation of airway smooth muscle GABA(A) receptors with agonists selective for these subunits resulted in appropriate membrane potential changes and chloride currents and promoted relaxation of airway smooth muscle. In conclusion, selective subunit targeting of endogenous airway smooth muscle-specific GABA(A) receptors may represent a novel therapeutic option for patients in severe bronchospasm.  相似文献

The effect of chloroform soluble fraction (F-A) of twigs of Sarcostemma brevistigma on contractions induced by KCl, histamine, and acetylcholine in the isolated guinea pig ileum and taenia coli smooth muscles has been evaluated. F-A (19.5 microg/ml) significantly inhibited the contraction induced by 40 mM KCl to the extent of 87.6% in the isolated guinea pig ileum. In the isolated guinea pig ileum, F-A (64.3 and 59.2 microg/ml) significantly inhibited the contractions induced by acetylcholine and histamine to the extent of 85 and 83% respectively. In the isolated guinea pig taenia coli, F-A (65.2 microg/ml) significantly inhibited the contraction induced by 40 mM KCl to the extent of 96.0%. The inhibitory effect of F-A (40 microg/ml) on the isolated guinea pig taenia coli was reduced by Bay K 8644 (10(-6) M) to the extent of 61.6 from 73.6%. These results suggest that the F-A may exhibit smooth muscle relaxant activity by blocking the Ca2+ channels.  相似文献

To evaluate further the action of epidermal growth factor - urogastrone (EGF-URO) in smooth muscle systems, we examined the effect of the peptide on guinea pig tracheal strips. The cumulative addition of EGF-URO to the organ bath resulted in a concentration-dependent tonic contraction without tachyphylaxis. The half-maximal contraction was obtained at 13 +/- 3 ng/mL EGF-URO (2 nM). The maximum contraction at 100 ng/mL approached 60% of that induced by 1 microM histamine. No significant difference in the EGF-URO-induced contraction was observed in the presence or absence of a functional epithelium. Preincubation with 1 microM indomethacin for 20 min abolished the action of EGF-URO. The contractile effect of EGF-URO was not affected by yohimbine, propranolol, atropine, tetrodotoxin, and esculetin. However, mepacrine caused inhibition by 37 +/- 7% (mean +/- SEM for n = 3). Verapamil (10 microM) inhibited the EGF-induced response by 62 +/- 5% (mean +/- SEM for n = 4); the response was also absent in Ca-free (1 mM EGTA) buffer. However, the response was restored after the readdition of calcium. Our results suggest that EGF-URO can modulate tracheal smooth muscle contractility via a cyclooxygenase product and raise the possibility that EGF-URO might play a role in controlling pulmonary smooth muscle tone in vivo.  相似文献
