Changes in major parameters of alpha 1-, alpha 2- and beta-adrenergic responses (EC50 and Pm) were studied in hind-limb arterial vessels of the rabbits adapted to cold for 1-30 days (daily cold exposures for 6 hours at -10 degrees C). It was shown that responses to phenylephrine, noradrenaline, adrenaline (alpha 1-agonists), clondine (alpha 2-agonist), isopropylnoradrenaline (beta-agonist) corresponded to the equation p = (Pm.An)/(EC50n = An) with n = 1 and n = 2, respectively. Adaptation to cold induced radically different changes in the major parameters of alpha- and beta-adrenergic responses. In the alpha-adrenergic responses, the parameters EC50 and Pm changed reciprocally. In the beta-adrenergic response, only the Pm value changed while EC50 did not differ from the control over the entire period of adaptation to cold. The pronounced differences from the control gradually decreased within 1-5 days of adaptation but remained significant until the 30th day. 相似文献

In isolated smooth muscles of the sea cucumber, the rat intestine, vas deferens and portal vein, and in chick embryonic amnion, contractile responses of smooth muscles to transmitters and their agonists were described with two equations: p = (Pm.A(n))/(EC50n + A(n)) [7] or p = [(Pm1.An1)/(EC50(1)n1 + An1)] + [(Pm2.An2)/(EC50(2)n2 + An2)] [8]. The findings reveal a possibility of ligand-receptor interaction according to several models: a single receptor pool with n = 1 or n not equal to 1; two receptor pools in the same effector system with n1 = n2 or n1 not equal to n2. 相似文献

Nonsensory hyaline cells border the sensory epithelium of the auditory end-organ (basilar papilla) in birds and reptiles. Their innervation by cochlear cholinergic efferent fibers and the presence of contractile proteins suggest that hyaline cells may actively regulate basilar membrane mechanics. The cholinergic pharmacology of hyaline cells was studied by measuring the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) of fura-2-loaded cells in the chicken cochlea in vitro. Superfusion of the cholinergic agonist carbachol produced a dose-dependent increase in hyaline cell [Ca(2+)](i) (EC(50)=1.05 micromol l(-1)) and small responses in short hair cells. Calcium increases in hyaline cells were evoked by the muscarinic agonists oxotremorine (10 micromol l(-1)) and muscarine (100 micromol l(-1)) whereas nicotine (100 micromol l(-1), 200 micromol l(-1)) was without effect. Carbachol-evoked responses were blocked by the muscarinic antagonist atropine (>or=10(-13) mol l(-1)) and were unaffected by the nicotinic antagonists d-tubocurare (100 micromol l(-1), 1 mmol l(-1)) and hexamethonium (100 micromol l(-1)). Responses persisted in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) and were abolished by thapsigargin (1 micromol l(-1)). These results indicate that the cholinergic-stimulated increase in hyaline cell [Ca(2+)](i) is due to a muscarinic-mediated release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. This is the first evidence that hyaline cells possess a muscarinic receptor whose activation causes mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+). 相似文献

Changes in the main parameters of α-and β-adrenergic responses, sensitivity to agonists (EC 50) and maximum response (P m) of hindlimb and small intestinal blood pressure in situ and systemic blood pressure were studied in rabbits adapted to cold for 1–30 days (daily exposures to ?10°C for 6 h). The responses to phenylephrine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, clonidine (α-agonists), and isopropylnoradrenaline (β-agonist) corresponded to the equation p = (P m A n )/(EC 50 n + A n ) (1) with n = 1 and n = 2, respectively. Cold adaptation induced reciprocal changes in the response of both EC 50 and P m to α-agonists and in the response of P m alone to isopropylnoradrenaline. The significant differences of the parameters from control observed during the first 5 days of adaptation gradually decreased by day 30. After 10 days of adaptation, the efficiency (E = P m/2EC 50) of response to α-and β-agonists of adrenoceptors significantly increased. 相似文献

The electrical responses elicited by the muscarinic cholinergic pathway have been studied in cultured embryonic chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons. Neurons obtained from E7-E8 ganglia were maintained in serum-free medium for 1 to 3 days. Stimulation with 50 microM muscarine induced depolarizing responses in about 30% of the cells tested. In voltage clamp experiments at a holding potential of -50 mV, an inward current could be recorded in the same percentage of cells in response to muscarinic stimulation. In single channel experiments, with standard physiological solution in the pipette, muscarine transiently activated an inward conducting channel. Cell-attached recordings with 100 mM CaCl(2) in the pipette provided evidence that muscarinic agonists can activate a cationic calcium-permeable channel. Two main conductance levels could be detected, of 2.3+/-0.6 and 5.6+/-0.6 pS, respectively. In excised patches, addition of 5-20 microM inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) to the bath reactivated a channel that could be blocked by heparin and whose characteristics were very similar to those of the channel seen in response to muscarinic stimulation. A channel with similar properties has been previously shown to be activated by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and InsP(3) in the same preparation. 相似文献

Chronic insufficiency of adrenal hormones is a pathology leading to brain dysfunction. By electrophysiological approach there were studied mechanisms of adaptation of neural networks to chronic hormonal deprivation by extracellular recording of the single spike activity of hippocampal neurons (HN), which was caused by high-frequency stimulation of the entorhinal cortex (EC) in rats with unilateral removal of adrenal (adrenalectomy—AE). The balance of excitatory and inhibitory responses recorded in intact rat HN underwent characteristic changes in dynamics of development of neurodegeneration: the inhibitory responses dominating in norm were decreased in all AE terms (from 42% to 25% by 18 weeks). On the contrary, the minimal percentage of excitatory responses in norm was sharply increased at 25–27 days after AE (from 17% to 60%), by indicating a possible increase in cholinergic neurotransmission. The high level of the mean frequency of peristimulus spiking was recorded from the 25–27th day to the 18th week after AE, which indicates the presence of the high level of glutamate or the expressed activation of NMDA receptors. On the whole, the ratio of the excitatory/inhibitory HN responses suggests discrepancy of neural activity in EC HN chains under the AE conditions. Histochemical analysis has shown an increased sensitivity to AE in the CA1 area neurons. After disruption of neuronal structure by the 5th day of AE, 25–27 days after AE, proliferation of cellular elements was observed in the CA1 area, due which the complete filling of the “devastated” areas of hippocampus and a sharp enhancement of phosphatase activity occurred by 8-10 weeks in neuronal nuclei of the dentate gyrus. By 18 weeks after AE, most neurons in the CA1 area were subjected to chromatolysis with a fall of phosphatase activity. The presented make certain contribution to understanding of mechanisms of control of cognitive function and brain plasticity with interconnection with hormonal factors. 相似文献

Selected cholinergic markers (choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, high-affinity choline uptake) were studied in the hindlimb representation areas of the rat somatosensory cortex and within the visual cortex 1 to 63 days after unilateral transection of the sciatic nerve. In the contralateral somatosensory cortex, peripheral deafferentation resulted in a significant reduction of choline acetyltransferase activity (by 15%) 3 days after sciatic nerve injury, and in a significant reduction of high-affinity choline uptake (by 30%) 1 day after nerve transection, in comparison to untreated control rats. Investigations in individual cortical layers revealed that the decrease of both choline acetyltransferase activity and high-affinity choline uptake sites was mainly due to reductions in cortical layer V. Acetylcholinesterase activity and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors were not affected by unilateral transection of the sciatic nerve. In the ipsilateral somatosensory cortex, as well as in the visual cortex at both cortical hemispheres, no significant changes in the cholinergic parameters studied could be detected. The data indicate that peripheral deafferentation of the somatosensory cortex results in a transient change of presynaptic cholinergic parameters within the affected somatosensory area as early as 1 to 3 days after the lesion; thus, they emphasize the involvement of cholinergic mechanisms in cortical reorganizational events. 相似文献

Abstract: The present study compares the effects of chronic administration of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) on various hippocampal cholinergic parameters in rats with partial unilateral fimbrial transections. Lesions resulted in marked reductions of several presynaptic cholinergic parameters: choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity (by 50%), [3H]-acetylcholine ([3H]ACh) synthesis (by 59%), basal and ve-ratridine (1 μM)-evoked [3H]ACh release (by 44 and 57%, respectively), and [3H]vesamicol binding site densities (by 35%). In addition, [3H]AF-DX 116/muscarinic M2 binding site densities were also modestly decreased (by 23%). In contrast, [3H]pirenzepine/muscarinic M1 and [3H]AF-DX 384/muscarinic M2/M4 binding site densities were not altered by the lesions, nor were they affected by any of the treatments. Intracerebroventricular administration of bFGF (10 ng, every other day, for 21 days) partially prevented the lesion-induced deficit in hippocampal ChAT activity, an effect that was not markedly different from that measured in the NGF-treated (1 μg intracerebroventricularly, every other day, for 21 days) rats. In rats treated with a combination of bFGF and NGF, ChAT activity was not different from that in rats treated with the individual factors alone. In contrast, the lesion-induced deficits in the other cholinergic parameters were not attenuated by bFGF treatment, although they were at least partially prevented by NGF administration. To determine whether higher concentrations of bFGF are necessary to affect cholinergic parameters other than hippocampal ChAT activity, rats were treated with 1 μg (every other day, 21 days) of the growth factor. In this group of rats, detrimental effects of bFGF, manifested by an increased death rate (46%), and marked reductions in body weight of the survivors, were observed. In addition, this concentration of bFGF appeared to exacerbate the lesion-induced reduction in [3H]ACh synthesis by hippocampal slices; [3H]ACh synthesis in lesioned hippocampi represented 36 and 52% of that in contralateral unlesioned hippocampi for the bFGF-treated and control groups, respectively. In conclusion, although bFGF administration attenuates the deficit in hippocampal ChAT activity induced by partial fimbrial transections, this does not appear to translate into enhanced functional capacity of the cholinergic terminals. This is clearly in contrast to NGF, which enhances not only hippocampal ChAT activity, but also other parameters indicative of increased function in the cholinergic terminals. 相似文献

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a key enzyme in termination of fast cholinergic transmission. In brain, acetylcholine (ACh) is produced by cholinergic neurons and released in extracellular space where it is cleaved by AChE anchored by protein PRiMA. Recently, we showed that the lack of AChE in brain of PRiMA knock-out (KO) mouse increased ACh levels 200–300 times. The PRiMA KO mice adapt nearly completely by the reduction of muscarinic receptor (MR) density. Here we investigated changes in MR density, AChE, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in brain in order to determine developmental period responsible for such adaptation. Brains were studied at embryonal day 18.5 and postnatal days (pd) 0, 9, 30, 120, and 425. We found that the AChE activity in PRiMA KO mice remained very low at all studied ages while in wild type (WT) mice it gradually increased till pd120. BChE activity in WT mice gradually decreased until pd9 and then increased by pd120, it continually decreased in KO mice till pd30 and remained unchanged thereafter. MR number increased in WT mice till pd120 and then became stable. Similarly, MR increased in PRiMA KO mice till pd30 and then remained stable, but the maximal level reached is approximately 50% of WT mice. Therefore, we provide the evidence that adaptive changes in MR happen up to pd30. This is new phenomenon that could contribute to the explanation of survival and nearly unchanged phenotype of PRiMA KO mice. 相似文献

The muscarinic functional antagonism of isoproterenol relaxation and the contribution of muscarinic M2 receptors were examined in human isolated bronchus. In intact tissues, acetylcholine (ACh) precontraction decreased isoproterenol potency and maximal relaxation (-log EC50 shift = -1.49 +/- 0.16 and E(max) inhibition for 100 microM ACh = 30%) more than the same levels of histamine contraction. The M2 receptor-selective antagonist methoctramine (1 microM) reduced this antagonism in ACh- but not histamine-contracted tissues. Similar results were obtained for forskolin-induced relaxation. After selective inactivation of M3 receptors with 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-(2-chloroethyl)piperadine hydrochloric acid (30 nM), demonstrated by abolition of contractile and inositol phosphate responses to ACh, muscarinic recontractile responses were obtained in U-46619-precontracted tissues fully relaxed with isoproterenol. Methoctramine antagonized recontraction, with pK(B) (6.9) higher than in intact tissues (5.4), suggesting participation of M2 receptors. In M3-inactivated tissues, methoctramine augmented the isoproterenol relaxant potency in U-46619-contracted bronchus and reversed the ACh-induced inhibition of isoproterenol cAMP accumulation. These results indicate that M2 receptors cause indirect contraction of human bronchus by reversing sympathetically mediated relaxation and contribute to cholinergic functional antagonism. 相似文献

Forskolin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were shown to increase cyclic AMP accumulation in a human neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-SH cells. The alpha 2-adrenergic agonist UK 14304 decreased forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP levels by 40 +/- 2%, with an EC50 of 83 +/- 20 nM. This response was blocked by pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PT) (EC50 = 1 ng/ml) or by the alpha 2-antagonists yohimbine, idazoxan, and phentolamine. Antagonist IC50 values were 0.3 +/- 0.1, 2.2 +/- 0.3, and 1.4 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively. This finding suggests the presence of normal inhibitory coupling of SK-N-SH cell alpha 2-adrenergic receptors to adenylate cyclase via the inhibitory GTP-binding protein species, Gi. Muscarinic receptors in many target cell types are coupled to inhibition of adenylate cyclase. However, in SK-N-SH cells, muscarinic agonists synergistically increased (67-95%) the level of cyclic AMP accumulation elicited by forskolin or VIP. EC50 values for carbamylcholine (CCh) and oxotremorine facilitation of the forskolin response were 1.2 +/- 0.2 and 0.3 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively. Pharmacological studies using the muscarinic receptor subtype-preferring antagonists 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine, pirenzepine, and AF-DX 116 indicated mediation of this response by the M3 subtype. IC50 values were 14 +/- 1, 16,857 +/- 757, and 148,043 +/- 16,209 nM, respectively. CCh-elicited responses were unaffected by PT pretreatment. Muscarinic agonist binding affinity was indirectly measured by the ability of CCh to compete for [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate binding sites on SK-N-SH cell membranes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

1. The study of changes that persist after drug discontinuation could be fundamental to understand the mechanisms involved in craving and relapse. 2. In this work the changes occurring in muscarinic, D1- and D2-like receptors after 30 min (immediate), 1 day (early), 5 and 30 days (late) withdrawal periods were studied, in the striatum of rats treated once a day for 7 days with cocaine 20 and 30 mg/kg, i.p. 3. Binding assays were performed in 10% homogenates and ligands used were [3H]-N-methylscopolamine, [3H]-SCH 23390, and [3H]-spiroperidol for muscarinic (M1 + M2-like), D1-, and D2-like receptors, respectively. 4. Muscarinic receptors presented a downregulation at all doses and discontinuation times, while the dissociation constant (Kd) for this receptor decreased after 30 min, 5 and 30 days abstinence times. In relation to D1-like receptors we found an antagonistic effect with 100% increase in receptor number 30 min after the last cocaine injection, but after 1-day withdrawal a downregulation was observed with both doses that persisted up to 30 days, only with the higher dose. The dissociation constant value (Kd) for this receptor showed a decrease only with 5 and 30 days withdrawal. An increase occurred with D2-like receptors at all doses and withdrawal periods studied, while Kd increased in 30-min, 5, and 30 days withdrawal. 5. In this work we found that the subchronic cocaine treatment produces early and long-lasting modifications in cholinergic muscarinic as well in dopaminergic receptors that persist up to 30 days of cocaine withdrawal. 相似文献

Effects of UV-B on activities of enzymes of secondary phenolic metabolism in barley primary leaves 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) was grown in a glasshouse with 13.56 or 8.84 kJ m−2 : biologically effective UV-B (280–320 nm: UV-BBE ) simulating levels predicted to occur with 25 or 5% ozone depletion at 40°N latitude, with UV-A (320–400 mm), or with no supplemental irradiation. Activities of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5). chalcone-flavanone isomerase (CFI, EC 5.5.1.6) and peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) were determined from the 5th through the 30th day after planting. PAL regulates diversion of L-phenylalanine into precursors for secondary phenolics. CFI regulates an early step of flavonoid biosynthesis, and peroxidase activates phenolic precursors for cross-linking and rigidifying cell walls. At all ages UV-B decreased soluble protein leaf−1 but had little effect on fresh weight or CFI activity. Exposure to UV-B decreased peroxidase activity only slightly in early growth stages but decreased it about 40% by day 30. PAL activity was highest 5 days after planting under all treatments, decreased thereafter, and was not detectable in control plants after day 10. UV-B prolonged PAL activity through day 15 in plants given the highest level of UV-B. This UV-B prolongation of PAL activity is correlated with, and is a likely underlying mechanism to explain, the UV-B- enhanced accumulation of flavonoids and ferulic acid in barley primary leaves. The results are discussed in terms of barley leaf adaptation to UV-B as developmental response dependent on conditions of plant growth. 相似文献

Higher sensitivity of cerebral arteries isolated from premature and newborn baboons to adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To find whether effects of adrenergic and cholinergic agents on cerebral artery were dependent on maturity, we examined responses of isolated cerebral artery strips harvested from premature, term newborn and adult baboons. Although cerebral arteries from many species are only mildly sensitive to norepinephrine, we found the perinatal cerebral arteries to be quite responsive to the amine. Cerebral arteries from premature and newborn baboons were significantly (P less than 0.001) more sensitive to norepinephrine than were arteries from adults; medium effective concentration (EC50) for norepinephrine were 3 X 10(-8), 6 X 10(-8) and 32 X 10(-8)M for prematures, newborns and adults, respectively. Arteries showed a similar age-dependence in the sensitivity of the response to phenylephrine, an alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist. EC50 values for KC1 did not differ among groups, nor did the maximum response to norepinephrine. Arteries from premature and newborn baboons showed marked contractile response to acetylcholine (maximum tensions 5.9 +/- 0.6 and 6.4 +/- 0.8 g/mm2, respectively), whereas arteries from adult baboons showed little response (0.6 +/- 0.1 g/mm2). Arteries from premature and newborn animals showed a more marked relaxation response to isoproterenol than did arteries from adult animals; the degree of relaxation from an induced contraction was 63% (premature), 72% (newborn) and 10% (adult). There was no age-dependence in the relaxation response to sodium nitrite. We conclude that the events coupling alpha 1, beta or muscarinic receptor activation with cerebral arterial contraction or relaxation are more effective in perinatal than in adult baboons. 相似文献

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) were acclimated to 4 degrees C and 17 degrees C for more than 4 weeks and heart rate was determined in the absence and presence of adrenaline to see how thermal adaptation influences basal heart rate and its beta-adrenergic control in a eurythermal fish species. The basal heart rate in vitro was higher in cold-acclimated than warm-acclimated rainbow trout at temperatures below 17 degrees C. On the other hand, adaptation to cold decreased thermal tolerance of heart rate so that the maximal heart rates were achieved at 17 degrees C (75 +/- 4 bpm) and 24 degrees C (88 +/- 2 bpm) in cold-acclimated and warm-acclimated trout, respectively. Beta-adrenergic response of the heart was enhanced by cold-adaptation, since adrenaline (100 nmol l(-1)) caused stronger stimulation of heart rate in cold-acclimated (29 +/- 14%) than in warm-acclimated fish (10 +/- 1%; P = 0.03). Furthermore, adrenaline strongly opposed the temperature-dependent deterioration of force production in cold-acclimated trout but not in warm-acclimated trout. The results indicate that adaptation to cold increases basal heart rate but decreases its thermal tolerance in rainbow trout. Cold acclimation up-regulates the beta-adrenergic system, and beta-adrenoceptor activation seems to provide cardioprotection against high temperatures in the cold-adapted rainbow trout. 相似文献

In vitro preparations of whole urinary bladders of neonatal rats exhibit prominent myogenic spontaneous contractions, the amplitude and frequency of which can be increased by muscarinic agonists. The muscarinic receptor subtype responsible for this facilitation was examined in the present experiments. Basal spontaneous contractions in bladders from 1- to 2-wk-old Sprague-Dawley rats were not affected by M2 or M3 receptor antagonists. However, administration of 0.5 microM physostigmine, an anticholinesterase agent that increases the levels of endogenous acetylcholine, or 50-100 nM carbachol, a cholinergic agonist at low concentrations, which did not cause tonic contractions, significantly augmented the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous contractions. Blockade of M2 receptors with 0.1 microM AF-DX 116 or 1 microM methoctramine or blockade of M3 receptors with 50 nM 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide or 0.1 microM 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-(2-chloroethyl)piperidine hydrochloride (4-DAMP mustard) reversed the physostigmine and carbachol responses. M2 and M3 receptor blockade did not alter the facilitation of spontaneous contractions induced by 10 nM BAY K 8644, an L-type Ca2+ channel opener, or 0.1 microM iberiotoxin, a large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel blocker. NS-1619 (30 microM), a large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel opener, decreased carbachol-augmented spontaneous contractions. These results suggest that spontaneous contractions in the neonatal rat bladder are enhanced by activation of M2 and M3 receptors by endogenous acetylcholine released in the presence of an anticholinesterase agent or a cholinergic receptor agonist. 相似文献

Oxytocin-induced luteolysis in goats was associated with significant increases in peripheral plasma concentrations of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin (PG) F(2alpha) (PGFM). This effect was not inhibited by concomitant administration of adrenaline (1 mg), although increases of PGFM were both delayed and diminished. Administration of atropine, a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist, inhibited the effect of oxytocin in three out of five goats. In these animals, increases in PGFM were inhibited. 相似文献
