Effect of prostaglandin E2 on agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation in the distal convoluted tubule isolated from the rabbit kidney

The effects of calcitonin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and isoprenaline on intracellular cAMP accumulation were determined in the distal tubule (DCT) microdissected from collagenase-treated rabbit kidney. In DCTb (the initial bright portion) calcitonin (10 ng/ml) elicited a highly reproducible response 203.7±19.1 fmol cAMP mm^–1 4 min^–1 (SE, N=13) whereas VIP-induced cAMP accumulation was less and more variable from one experiment to another (1 M, 97.2±17.8 fmol mm^–1 4 min^–1, SE, N=12). When used in combination, these two agonists were non-additive, indicating stimulation of a single pool of cAMP in DCTb. In DCTg, (granular) which consists of at least two cell types, PTH (100 nM) elicited a marked, reproducible accumulation of cAMP (154.3±27.0 fmol mm^–1 4 min^–1; SE, N=5). Isoprenaline (1 M) and VIP (1 M) induced much smaller increases in cAMP levels 20.9±2.7 and 29.4±4.1 fmol mm^–1 4 min^–1 (SE, N=5) respectively, and, when used in combination, were non-additive, demonstrating that VIP and isoprenaline are active on the same cell type. In DCTb, prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) inhibited both calcitoninand VIP-stimulated cAMP accumulation (calcitonin 57.8±2.7% inhibition, SE, N=16; VIP, 80.6±2.1% inhibition, SE, N=5). The EC₅₀ values for calcitonin were 1.21±0.33 ng/ml and 1.83±0.25 ng/ ml (SD, N=3) in the absence and presence of PGE₂ (300 nM) respectively with an IC₅₀ for PGE₂ of 26.3±6.3 nM (SE, N=4). In contrast, no effects of PGE₂ were seen in DCTg vis à vis PTH, isoprenaline or VIP. The percentage inhibition of calcitonin-stimulated cAMP accumulation by PGE₂ was of the same order in the presence of isobutylmethylxanthine (an inhibitor of all types of phosphodiesterase), Ro 20-1724 (inhibitor of low-K _m cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase) or in the absence of inhibitor. Preincubation of DCTb with pertussis toxin for up to 8 h in different experimental conditions did not relieve the inhibition by PGE₂. Protein kinase C activation by phorbol ester did not attenuate calcitonin responses. These data demonstrate that the inhibition by PGE₂ of cAMP production is restricted to the initial portion (DCTb) of the distal convoluted tubule and is effective on both calcitonin and VIP responses. When tested in the presence of Ro 20-1724, ionomycin, A₁-adenosine, ₂-adrenergic and muscarinic agonists were without effect on calcitoninand PTH-stimulated cAMP accumulation in DCTb and DCTg respectively.

Contribution of the maculo-ocular reflex to gaze stability in the rabbit

Summary The contribution of the maculo-ocular reflex to gaze stability was studied in 10 pigmented rabbits by rolling the animals at various angles of sagittal inclination of the rotation and/or longitudinal animal axes. At low frequencies (0.005–0.01 Hz) of sinusoidal stimulation the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) was due to macular activation, while at intermediate and high frequencies it was mainly due to ampullar activation. The following results were obtained: 1) maculo-ocular reflex gain decreased as a function of the cosine of the angle between the rotation axis and the earth's horizontal plane. No change in gain was observed when longitudinal animal axis alone was inclined. 2) At 0° of rotation axis and with the animal's longitudinal axis inclination also set at 0°, the maculo-ocular reflex was oriented about 20° forward and upward with respect to the earth's vertical axis. This orientation remained constant with sagittal inclinations of the rotation and/or longitudinal animal axes ranging from approximately 5° upward to 30° downward. When the longitudinal animal axis was inclined beyond these limits, the eye trajectory tended to follow the axis inclination. In the upside down position, the maculo-ocular reflex was anticompensatory, oblique and fixed with respect to orbital coordinates. 3) Ampullo-ocular reflex gain did not change with inclinations of the rotation and/or longitudinal animal axes. The ocular responses were consistently oriented to the stimulus plane. At intermediate frequencies the eye movement trajectory was elliptic because of directional differences between the ampullo- and maculo-ocular reflexes. 4) In the upright position the coactivation of the optokinetic reflex (OKR) eliminated the eye disalignment with respect to the stimulus plane and the elliptic trajectory. 5) Combined vertical OKR and VOR gain in the prone position (VOKR + VVOR 0°) was higher than that of the combined VOKR + VVOR in the 90° nose up position. The VVOR + VOKR 90° gain was in turn higher than the VVOR + VOKR gain in the 180° upside down position. 6) We suggest that, in the dark, the maculo-ocular response tends to reduce the disalignment of both eyes with respect to the horizon rather than inducing oculocompensatory responses. In the light, this maculo-ocular reflex increases the gain of combined optokinetic and vestibular responses.     

Cerebellar cortex and eyeblink conditioning: bilateral regulation of conditioned responses

We examined the role of the cerebellum in classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane response (NMR) of rabbits by comparing the effects of unilateral and bilateral cerebellar cortical lesions. Using extended preoperative conditioning to ensure high levels of learning, we confirmed that unilateral lesions of lobules HVI and ansiform lobe impaired conditioned responses (CRs) previously established to an auditory conditioned stimulus, but did not prevent some relearning with post-operative retraining. Bilateral lesions of HVI and ansiform lobe produced similar impairments of CRs, but also prevented subsequent relearning. Unilateral cortical lesions produced significant enhancement of unconditioned response (UR) amplitudes to periorbital electrical stimulation. Bilateral cortical lesions enhanced UR amplitudes to a lesser extent. Because there was no correlation between the degree of CR impairment and UR enhancement across the unilateral and bilateral lesion groups, the suggestion that the lesions impaired CRs due to general effects upon performance, rather than due to losses of learning, is not supported. Both sides of the cerebellar cortex contribute towards learning a unilaterally trained CR. This finding is important for the re-interpretation of unilateral, reversible inactivation studies that have found no involvement of the cerebellar deep nuclei in the acquisition of NMR conditioning. In addition, we found conditioning-dependent modifications of unconditioned responses that were particularly apparent at low intensities of periorbital electrical stimulation. This finding is important for the re-interpretation of studies that have found apparent changes in the UR of conditioned subjects after cerebellar lesions.     

Age-related changes in adrenergic neuronal function of rabbit vascular smooth muscle

The adrenergic control of vascular smooth muscle was compared in young and adult rabbits using a variety of in vitro techniques. Norepinephrine (NE) content and accumulation of ³H-NE were not different in blood vessels from the two age groups. In contrast, stimulation-evoked release of endogenous NE was reduced by 40–60% in vessels from the aged animals. Functional studies of smooth muscle contractions were carried out using isolated ring segments of the ear artery. There were no differences in the resting force-response relationship between vessels from young and adult rabbits. Maximum contractile responses to nerve stimulation, NE or KCl were not different in vessels from the two age groups, nor was the NE ED₅₀. However, blockade of the neuronal uptake system with desmethylimipramine produced a greater shift in the NE concentration-response curve in vessels from the young animals compared to the shift in vessels from adult animals. This observation reflects a decline in neuronal NE uptake with age. Although maximal contractile responses to transmural nerve stimulation at 16 Hz were unchanged, responses to stimulation at lower frequencies were reduced in vessels from adult rabbits, an effect which was also enhanced when an antagonist of neuronal uptake was present. Thus, there is a decline in function of adrenergic nerves in adult animals, reflected in a decrease in stimulation-evoked NE release and a decrease in norepinephrine uptake revealed by functional studies. These two effects tend to balance each other, so that there is a small decrease in contractile response to adrenergic nerve stimulation which is exacerbated when neuronal uptake mechanisms are blocked.

Distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity along the rabbit nephron

The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) upon adenylate cyclase (AC) activity has been determined in defined microdissected renal tubules isolated from collagenase-treated rabbit kidneys. In the presence of 10 M GTP, 1 M VIP gave marked stimulations of AC over basal values in the bright portion of the distal convoluted tubule (DCTb) (10.1-fold), and in the collecting tubule isolated from the inner stripe of the outer medulla (OMCTi, 7.8-fold). Less pronounced effects of VIP were found in the medullary collecting tubule isolated from the outer stripe (2.5-fold) and in the granular portion of the distal convoluted tubule (2.0-fold). VIP stimulation of AC activity in these segments amounted to 25 to 40% of the effect elicited by other agonists (arginine vasopressin, calcitonin or parathyroid hormone) in their respective target segments. A low response to VIP was observed in the cortical thick ascending limb (1.8-fold) which represented less than 5% of the calcitonin-stimulated AC activity. In the thin descending limb VIP produced a slight and variable stimulation of AC. VIP was without effect upon AC in the convoluted and straight portions of the proximal tubule, the medullary thick ascending limb and the cortical collecting tubule. Halfmaximal stimulation of AC by VIP was observed at 26±10 nM (n=3) in OMCTi and at 19 nM (n=2) in DCTb. Related peptides glucagon, secretin and PHI gave lower stimulations of AC compared to VIP in OMCTi. Conversely for rat OMCTi, under identical conditions, glucagon was much more effective than VIP.
