Electrical field stimulation induced a relaxation response in female rabbit urethral smooth muscle strips precontracted with phenylephrine. The relaxation response was inhibited by tetrodotoxin, but not by atropine, propranolol, or hexamethonium. The relaxation response thus results from stimulation of inhibitory non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic nerves. The electrically induced relaxation response was inhibited by an inhibitor of nitric oxide biosynthesis, NG-nitro-L-arginine. This inhibition was overcome by addition of a precursor of nitric oxide, L-arginine. An inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, methylene blue, reduced the relaxation response, and a selective cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, M & B 22948, potentiated the relaxation response. These data indicate that agents which affect the biosynthesis of nitric oxide are associated with the urethral relaxation response evoked by electrical field stimulation, and that cyclic GMP may mediate the relaxation response. 相似文献

Regional and age specific differences are observed in the sodium nitroprusside induced relaxation responses in the urinary tract. To clarify these differences, guanylyl cyclase activity is assayed in particulate and soluble fractions from the ureter, bladder dome, and urethra of young (11-18 days), adult (90-100 days), and old adult (2-3 years) guinea pigs. The rank order of soluble guanylyl cyclase activities is urethra = ureter > bladder dome with the largest decreases with aging occurring in the bladder. Atrial natriuretic factor (10-7 M) increases particulate guanylyl cyclase activity in the three tissues at all ages tested, with the activity being highest in the ureter. ATP (0.5 mM) activates particulate guanylyl cyclase in the ureter, bladder and urethra of old adult guinea pigs, and enhances atrial natriuretic factor induced activation of particulate guanylyl cyclase in all tissues and at all ages tested. The higher levels of soluble guanylyl cyclase activity in the urethra and ureter compared to the bladder parallel sodium nitroprusside induced relaxation in these tissues. 相似文献
