Intravesical instillation of xylene (30-50%) produced detrusor hyperreflexia characterized by a decrease in both the bladder capacity (time to micturition in the cystometrogram) and the urine volume in conscious rats placed in a restraining cage. At this time, the bladder tissue showed evidence of experimental cystitis with degradation of the epithelium and edema and hemorrhage in the submucosa, and a slight increase in the content of prostaglandin E2, which stimulated directly and/or indirectly capsaicin-sensitive sensory fibers. In addition, the bladder exhibited high amplitude spontaneous activity, but the bladder contractions induced by acetylcholine, substance P, prostaglandin E2 and capsaicin were not changed following intravesical instillation of xylene. In these hyperreflexic rats, atropine suppressed the amplitude of the micturition contraction and morphine increased the bladder capacity at similar doses as in sham-treated rats, while thiopental and indomethacin increased the bladder capacity at lower doses than in sham-treated rats. These findings indicated that intravesical instillation of xylene had produced detrusor hyperreflexia in conscious rats, and that the detrusor hyperreflexia is thought to be a useful model for evaluating the effect of a newly-developed agent on bladder function. 相似文献

Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) is activated by serine proteases, such as trypsin and mast cell tryptase. Previous studies have demonstrated that both trypsin and PAR-2 activating peptide contract isolated rat urinary bladder preparations, however, the mechanisms are not fully understood. In the present study, we examined the role of bradykinin in contractions induced by trypsin and the PAR-2 agonist 2-furoyl-LIGRL-NH(2) in urinary bladders isolated from control or cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis rats. The contractile effects of trypsin were significantly greater in the preparations obtained from CYP-treated rats than in those from controls. The bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist Hoe 140 did not affect trypsin-induced contractions in control rat bladders, whereas it significantly reduced the contractile effects of trypsin on bladders from CYP-treated rats. On the other hand, Hoe 140 failed to affect contractions induced by the PAR-2 agonist 2-furoyl-LIGRL-NH(2). These results suggest that the actions of trypsin on urinary bladders in cystitis rats are partly exerted through stimulation of bradykinin B2 receptor in a PAR-2-independent manner. This mechanism seems to be involved in the enhancement of trypsin-induced bladder contractions observed after induction of cystitis with CYP in rats. 相似文献

1. The topical application of bradykinin (BK) (0.05-5000 pmol/rat) onto the serosal surface of the urinary bladder in urethane-anaesthetized rats, evoked low amplitude tonic contractions (not exceeding 25 mmHg) or high amplitude (about 50 mmHg), phasic reflex contractions (chemoceptive micturition reflex) which were abolished by bilateral ablation of the pelvic ganglia. In ganglionectomized rats, BK induced only a local, tonic-type contraction. 2. Systemic capsaicin pretreatment (164 mumol kg-1, 4 days before) reduced the incidence of chemoceptive reflex induced by BK (500 pmol/rat) but had no effect on the magnitude of the tonic-type contraction elicited by BK in ganglionectomized rats. Indomethacin (11 mumol kg-1, 20 min before) reduced the incidence but not the amplitude of the reflex contractions induced by topical application of BK (500 pmol/rat). In ganglionectomized rats, indomethacin (11 mumol kg-1, 20 min before) decreased the amplitude of the tonic contraction evoked by BK. Indomethacin did not affect the chemoceptive reflex induced by topical application of capsaicin (15 nmol/rat) onto the bladder. 3. Intrathecal administration of the tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonists, RP 67,580 (10 nmol/rat) or SR 140,333 (10 nmol/rat), abolished the chemoceptive reflex induced by BK without modifying the magnitude of the tonic contraction. SR 140,333 (10 nmol/rat) also abolished the occurrence of the chemoceptive reflex induced by capsaicin. 4. Intravenous administration of the B2 receptor antagonist, Hoe 140 (35 nmol kg-1, 10 min before) abolished the reflex and local effects induced by BK on bladder motility but failed to modify the chemoceptive reflex induced by topical application of capsaicin (15 nmol/rat).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Chemical stimulation of primary afferent nerves in the rat urinary bladder in vivo with topical capsaicin (1 microg in 50 microl saline) determines a dual motor response, consisting of a contractile effect mediated by tachykinins released from sensory nerves in the bladder wall and a transient activation of a bladder-to-bladder micturition reflex organized at the supraspinal level (chemoceptive micturition reflex). Both responses undergo complete desensitization upon repeated applications of capsaicin. The i.v. administration of the novel neuropeptide nociceptin (100 nmol/kg) produced a long-lasting protection from capsaicin desensitization of afferent nerves which mediate the chemoceptive micturition reflex. In fact a chemoceptive micturition reflex could be repeatedly evoked by topical capsaicin in nociceptin-pretreated rats. In sharp contrast, nociceptin did not influence the development of desensitization of the local response to capsaicin, corresponding to the 'efferent' function of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons. These results suggest that the afferent and 'efferent' function of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurons (CSPANs) in the rat bladder are differentiated by nociceptin. Alternative mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are discussed. 相似文献

We investigated the role of bradykinin B receptors in inducing urinary bladder contraction and maintaining bladder compliance in anaesthetized rats following cyclophosphamide-induced bladder inflammation and the influence of dexamethasone treatment on these responses. In the group treated with cyclophosphamide the amplitude of the contraction induced by the selective bradykinin B1 receptor agonist des-Arg9-bradykinin was larger than that in controls and dexamethasone prevented the up-regulation of this response induced by inflammation. The specific binding of [3H]des-Arg10-kallidin to bladder membranes was only detected in cyclophosphamide-treated rats: this binding was prevented by dexamethasone pretreatment. The bladder contraction induced by des-Arg9-bradykinin in cyclophosphamide-treated rats was antagonized by the bradykinin B1 receptor antagonist des-Arg9-D-Arg-[Hyp3,Thi5,D-Tic7,Oic8]bradykinin (des-Arg10-Hoe 140). Cyclophosphamide treatment increased the bladder weight and dexamethasone reversed this effect. Bladder compliance was decreased in the bladder inflammation group and this effect was partially reversed by dexamethasone pretreatment. Neither des-Arg10-Hoe 140 nor the combined administration of des-Arg10Hoe 140 and the selective bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist D-Arg-[Hyp3,Thi5,D-Tic7,Oic8]bradykinin (Hoe 140) affected bladder compliance, thus excluding a role of kinins in the maintenance of bladder tone during inflammation. These results indicate that: (1) dexamethasone pretreatment ameliorates cyclophosphamide-induced bladder inflammation: (2) dexamethasone pretreatment prevents cyclophosphamide-induced up-regulation of bradykinin B receptors; (3) kinins do not contribute to the increased vesical tone during inflammation. 相似文献

1. The effect of bradykinin, capsaicin, substance P and low pH medium on plasma extravasation in the guinea-pig conjunctiva has been studied. Evans blue dye was measured in the conjunctiva after local instillation of the agents into the conjunctival sac. 2. Bradykinin (2-50 nmol), capsaicin (20-50 nmol) and substance P (0.5-5 nmol) caused a dose-dependent increase in plasma extravasation with the following order of potency: substance P > bradykinin = capsaicin. The effect of capsaicin (50 nmol) and substance P (5 nmol) was abolished by the tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist, CP-99,994 (8 mumol kg-1, i.v.) (P < 0.01), whereas CP-100,263 (8 mumol kg-1, i.v.) the inactive enantiomer of CP-99,994 was without effect. CP-99,994 inhibited by 70% (P < 0.01) the effect of bradykinin. 3. The kinin B2 receptor antagonist, Hoe 140 (icatibant, 10 nmol kg-1, i.v.) abolished the response to bradykinin (50 nmol) (P < 0.01), but did not affect the responses to capsaicin (50 nmol) or substance P (5 nmol). Plasma extravasation induced by low pH medium (pH 1) was abolished by CP-99,994 (P < 0.01) and by Hoe 140 (P < 0.01). 4. The present findings suggest that: endogenous or exogenous tachykinins increase plasma extravasation in the guinea-pig conjunctiva by activation of NK1 receptors; bradykinin-induced plasma extravasation is mediated by tachykinin release from sensory nerve endings; low pH media cause plasma extravasation via release of kinins that by activation of B2 receptors release tachykinins from sensory nerve endings. 相似文献

We have investigated the effect of a new bradykinin receptor antagonist, Hoe 140 (D-Arg- Hyp3,Thi5,D-Tic7,Oic8]-bradykinin), on bradykinin- and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced bronchoconstriction and airway microvascular leakage in anesthetized guinea pigs. Extravasation of Evans blue dye and lung resistance were measured simultaneously. Both i.v. (15 nmol/kg) and inhaled bradykinin (1 mM, 45 breaths) caused a significant increase in lung resistance and leakage of dye at all airway levels. Hoe 140 (100 nmol/kg i.v.) almost completely inhibited these airway responses induced by bradykinin except for dye extravasation in trachea induced by inhaled bradykinin. Inhaled PAF (3 mM, 30 breaths) significantly increased lung resistance and leakage of due at all airway levels, but Hoe 140 had no effect on these responses. Bradykinin-induced bronchoconstriction and airway microvascular leakage are predominantly mediated by activation of B2 receptor, since Hoe 140 is a B2 receptor antagonist. Bradykinin receptor-mediated mechanisms do not play an important role on inhaled PAF-induced bronchoconstriction and microvascular leakage. 相似文献

The effect of three selective bradykinin B(2) receptor antagonists, MEN11270 (H-DArg-Arg-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Thi-c(Dab-DTic-Oic-Arg)c(7gamma-1 0alpha)), Icatibant (H-DArg-Arg-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Thi-Ser-DTic-Oic-Arg-OH), and FR173567 ((E)-3-(6-acetamido-3-pyridyl)-N-[N-[2, 4-dichloro-3-[(2-methyl-8-quinolinyl) oxymethyl] phenyl]-N-methylaminocarbonylmethyl]acrylamide) was evaluated in the human and rat urinary bladder in vitro and in vivo in anaesthetized rats. Bradykinin evoked a concentration-dependent contraction of human (pD(2)=7.2) and rat (pD(2)=7.7) detrusor muscle strips. In human preparations, all the antagonists tested produced a rightward-shift in the concentration-response curve for bradykinin. Schild plot analysis yielded pK(B) values of 8.4, 8.4 and 8.6 for MEN11270, Icatibant, and FR173567, respectively. In the rat preparations the three antagonists (at 100 nM concentration), produced a shift to the right which gave apparent pA(2) values of 8. 2, 8.0 and 8.1 for MEN11270, Icatibant, and FR173567, respectively. In anaesthetized rats, both MEN11270 and Icatibant (1-10 nmol/kg i.v. ) dose dependently reduced the bradykinin (100 nmol/kg i.v.)-induced urinary bladder contraction, their effect being prompt and long-lasting. In contrast, FR173567 (100 nmol/kg i.v.) produced a partial and short-lasting inhibition of bradykinin-induced bladder contractions. The present findings indicate that all the antagonists tested recognize with similar potencies the bradykinin B(2) receptors expressed in the detrusor muscle of both humans and rats. MEN11270 and Icatibant possess a higher potency and longer duration of action in vivo than FR173657, suggesting that the activity of this non-peptide antagonist in vivo is hampered by factors unrelated to its affinity for bradykinin B(2) receptors. 相似文献

The role of the capsaicin-sensitive innervation of the rat urinary bladder in the activation of micturition reflex 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4

Capsaicin applied on the serosal surface of the urinary bladder in urethane-anaesthetized rats produces two distinct types of motor effects: a tetrodotoxin-, hexamethonium- and lidocaine-insensitive 'tonic' contraction and a series of tetrodotoxin-, hexamethonium- and lidocaine-sensitive rhythmic contractions. Both 'tonic' and rhythmic contractions are abolished by bladder denervation indicating their neurogenic origin. The rhythmic but not the 'tonic' component of the contractile effect of capsaicin is abolished by spinal cord transection indicating activation of a supraspinal micturition reflex. The motor effects of topical capsaicin are unaffected by pretreatment with indomethacin or diphenhydramine plus cimetidine. Pretreatment with a large dose of subcutaneous (SC) capsaicin increases both volume and pressure threshold for micturition while amplitude of micturition contraction is unaffected. Moreover the spinal somatovesical reflex elicited by pinching of the perineal skin is unaffected by capsaicin-desensitization. The intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of capsaicin reproduces the effects of SC capsaicin on the bladder response to saline filling. Rats pretreated with ICV capsaicin are as sensitive as controls in reacting to noxious heat (hot plate test) while the wiping response to instillation of capsaicin into one eye was abolished. These findings provide functional evidence for the presence in the rat urinary bladder of a capsaicin-sensitive innervation which subserves a sensory function in relaying volume/pressure information from detrusor muscle to central nervous system. Information carried through these capsaicin-sensitive fibers appears to be relevant for initiation of a supraspinal vesico-vesical micturition reflex. Functional evidence indicates that these fibers may terminate at supraspinal level. 相似文献

1. Effects of captopril, ramiprilat and Hoe 140, a specific bradykinin receptor antagonist, on infarct size were assessed in a rabbit model of myocardial infarction. 2. Rabbits were untreated or pretreated with 0.5 mg/kg of captopril, 0.05 mg/kg of ramiprilat or 20 nmol/kg of Hoe 140 before 30 min coronary artery occlusion and 72 h reperfusion. 3. Captopril and ramiprilat treatment reduced systemic blood pressure by about 10 mmHg without alteration of heart rate, and the dose of Hoe 140 almost completely blocked hypotensive response to intravenous injection of bradykinin (100 ng/kg). 4. Infarct size expressed as percentage of area at risk was 44.5 ± 3.3% in the control group, 41.9 ± 1.6% in the captopril group, 51.8 ± 2.7% in the ramiprilat group and 46.7 ± 2.2% in the Hoe 140 group. All percentages were not significantly different. 5. These data suggest that angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE), with or without sulfhydryl groups do not limit myocardial infarct size and that endogenous bradykinin in ischaemic myocardium does not play a major protective role against ischaemic myocardial necrosis. 相似文献

Both bradykinin and capsaicin infusion evoked a marked increase in the outflow of substance P- (SP-LI) and calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) from guinea-pig isolated, perfused heart. After acute exposure to capsaicin in vitro, or in hearts taken from animals pretreated in vivo with capsaicin, bradykinin failed to induce any release. The positive chronotropic effect of bradykinin was reduced after acute capsaicin administration. The effect of bradykinin in the guinea-pig heart could be mediated, at least partly, by release of neuropeptides from peripheral endings of capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurones. 相似文献

Solifenacin succinate [YM905, (+)-(1S,3'R)-quinuclidin-3'-yl 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carboxylate monosuccinate] is a novel muscarinic receptor antagonist. We examined the effects of solifenacin and two other muscarinic receptor antagonists, tolterodine and propiverine, on detrusor overactivity in cerebral infarcted rats. Evaluation was done under conscious conditions using cystometry 1 day after middle cerebral artery occlusion. The cerebral infarcted rats showed decreases in bladder capacity and voided volume and an increase in residual volume, but no change in micturition pressure. Solifenacin increased bladder capacity and voided volume at doses of 0.03 mg/kg i.v. or more. Tolterodine increased bladder capacity and voided volume at 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg i.v., while propiverine increased bladder capacity and voided volume at 1 mg/kg i.v. and at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg i.v., respectively. In contrast, none of the three drugs affected residual volume or micturition pressure. These results suggest that solifenacin may improve detrusor overactivity without causing urinary retention and may be a promising drug in the treatment of patients with overactive bladder syndrome. 相似文献

1. This study sought to determine whether neurogenic inflammation occurs in the airways by examining the effects of capsaicin or substance P on microvascular plasma leakage in the trachea and lungs of male pathogen-free C57BL/6 mice. 2. Single bolus intravenous injections of capsaicin (0.5 and 1 micromol kg(-1), i.v.) or substance P (1, 10 and 37 nmol kg(-10, i.v.) failed to induce significant leakage in the trachea, assessed as extravasation of Evans blue dye, but did induce leakage in the urinary bladder and skin. 3. Pretreatment with captopril (2.5 mg kg(-1), i.v.), a selective inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), either alone or in combination with phosphoramidon (2.5 mg kg(-1), i.v.), a selective inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP), increased baseline leakage of Evans blue in the absence of any exogenous inflammatory mediator. The increase was reversed by the bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist Hoe 140 (0.1 mg kg(-1), i.v.). 4. After pretreatment with phosphoramidon and captopril, capsaicin increased the Evans blue leakage above the baseline in the trachea, but not in the lung. This increase was reversed by the tachykinin (NK1) receptor antagonist SR 140333 (0.7 mg kg(-1), i.v.), but not by the NK2 receptor antagonist SR 48968 (1 mg kg(-1), i.v.). 5. Experiments using Monastral blue pigment as a tracer localized the leakage to postcapillary venules in the trachea and intrapulmonary bronchi, although the labelled vessels were less numerous in mice than in comparably treated rats. Blood vessels of the pulmonary circulation were not labelled. 6. We conclude that neurogenic inflammation can occur in airways of pathogen-free mice, but only after the inhibition of enzymes that normally degrade inflammatory peptides. Neurogenic inflammation does not involve the pulmonary microvasculature. 相似文献

Effects of oxybutynin, terodiline, and nifedipine on the cystometrogram in conscious rats with infravesical outflow obstruction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of i.v. administration of different drugs utilized in the therapy of detrusor instability have been studied in conscious catheterized female rats with infravesical outflow obstruction induced by partial urethral ligature, in comparison to normal animals. The effects of oxybutynin (1 mg/kg), terodiline (10 mg/kg), and nifedipine (1 mg/kg), were evaluated with regard to bladder capacity (BVC) and micturition pressure (MP) both in normal and obstructed rats. The effects on micturition and residual volume, as well as on spontaneous contractile activity representative of bladder instability, were also observed in obstructed rats. In normal animals, terodiline and oxybutynin induced a significant decrease in micturition pressure without changes in BVC. In obstructed rats, these drugs administered at the same doses did not induce any significant change in all the observed parameters. Nifedipine that in normal rats also reduced the MP, in obstructed animals induced an inhibition of bladder instability (about 50%) with no effects on the other cystometrographic parameters. 相似文献

In order to clarify the role of supraspinal tachykinins in volume-induced micturition and in bladder hyperactivity secondary to bladder outlet obstruction, conscious, normal, female Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated cystometrically before and after intracerebroventricular administration of RP 67,580, a selective antagonist of neurokinin (NK)-1 receptors and/or SR 48,968, a selective antagonist of NK-2 receptors. In normal rats, RP 67,580 or SR 48,968, at a dose of 2 nmol, caused no marked changes in cystometric parameters. Higher doses (up to 20 nmol) caused dose-dependent decreases in micturition pressure and increased bladder capacity, micturition volume and residual urine. A combination of the two drugs, each at a dose of 2 nmol, significantly decreased micturition pressure and increased bladder capacity. In rats with bladder outlet obstruction, the antagonists suppressed micturition dose-dependently, producing urinary retention in two out of eight rats already at a dose of 2 nmol. At a dose of 20 nmol, dribbling incontinence, due to urinary retention, was seen in five out of ten rats. A combination of the two drugs (2 nmol of each drug) caused urinary retention in three out of nine animals and significantly increased bladder capacity, micturition volume and residual volume. The results suggest that outflow obstruction in rats increases the effects of tachykinins in supraspinal structures involved in micturition, and that antagonism of supraspinal NK-receptors may depress the micturition reflex. Whether or not this implies that supraspinal NK-receptors can be targets for drugs aimed for inhibiting bladder hyperactivity in humans should be explored. 相似文献

To study possible differences in α1-adrenoceptor involvement in the spinal mechanisms mediating bladder activity induced by volume (bladder filling), central
(L-dopa), and peripheral (capsaicin) stimulation, we investigated if these types of bladder activity were modified by intrathecal
(i.t.) or intra-arterial (i.a.) administration of the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist, indoramin. Indoramin is selective for the α1A-adrenoceptor subtype, whereas most clinically used α1-adrenoceptor antagonists, including doxazosin, have no subtype selectivity. The drug effects were studied by continuous cystometry
in normal, conscious rats and rats with bladder activity evoked by intraperitoneal L-dopa (50 mg/kg after carbidopa pretreatment),
or by intravesical capsaicin (30 μM). I.t. indoramin (50 nmol) significantly decreased micturition pressure, and increased
bladder capacity and micturition volume. Dribbling incontinence due to urinary retention was observed in one of ten rats.
L-dopa-stimulated bladder overactivity was significantly attenuated by i.t. or i.a. indoramin (50 nmol). Similar effects of
i.t. and i.a. doxazosin (50 nmol) have been reported previously. Intravesical capsaicin (30 μM) caused bladder activity, which
was attenuated by i.t. indoramin (50 nmol), but not by i.t. doxazosin (50 nmol). I.a. indoramin did not reduce capsaicin-induced
bladder activity; doxazosin was moderately effective. The results suggest that the bulbospinal micturition reflex evoked by
bladder filling and L-dopa involves a descending pathway where transmission is partly mediated by spinal α1-adrenoceptors. Bladder overactivity evoked by intravesical capsaicin, which elicits a vesico-spinal-vesical reflex, was not
affected by i.t. doxazosin in a dose that attenuates activity mediated through the bulbo-spinal pathway. This suggests less
involvement of spinal α1-adrenoceptors in the vesico-spinal-vesical than in the bulbo-spinal voiding reflex.

The effects of topical capsaicin on urinary bladder motility were investigated following saline-induced distension of the bladder wall in urethane-anaesthetized rats and compared to the effects of topical substance P and acetylcholine. Capsaicin and substance P produced similar excitatory effects in both quiescent and rhythmically contracting bladders, i.e., a TTX resistant tonic contraction followed by a series of rhythmic, TTX sensitive, phasic contractions. Acetylcholine, in doses equieffective in producing TTX resistant contractions was less effective than capsaicin or substance P in triggering neurogenic rhythmic contractions of bladder muscle. Atropine pretreatment prevented the neurogenic component of the excitatory effect of both capsaicin and substance P. Repeated applications of capsaicin but not of substance P led to desensitization. Bladders of animals pretreated (4 days before) with a large dose of s.c. capsaicin developed insensitivity to topical capsaicin and a larger volume of saline was required to trigger neurogenic rhythmic contractions of the detrusor muscle. These results suggest that capsaicin acts by interfering with the mechanism(s) regulating the threshold for the micturition reflex to occur. 相似文献

1. Intravesical administration of hyperosmolar NaCl or urea solutions produced a concentration-dependent stimulatory action on the micturition reflex in urethane-anesthetized rats. This effect was not modified in rats pretreated with capsaicin as adults (50 mg/kg s.c. 4 days before). 2. Hyperosmolar NaCl also produced Evans blue leakage (plasma extravasation) in the rat bladder. This effect was greatly reduced by extrinsic bladder denervation and in rats desensitized to capsaicin as newborns but not as adults. 3. Cumulative addition of NaCl produced a concentration-dependent increase in tone and biphasic effects on neurogenic contractions of the rat isolated bladder. These effects were not modified by in vitro capsaicin desensitization. 4. These findings do not support the idea that true osmoreceptors are present in the rat urinary bladder. The neurogenic component of the inflammatory response to hyperosmolar NaCl could involve activation of a subpopulation of bladder sensory fibers susceptible to the neurotoxic action of capsaicin in the early postnatal period only. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We investigated whether or not kinin receptors play a role in diabetic blood-retinal barrier breakdown, which is a leading cause of vision loss. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Blood-retinal barrier breakdown was quantified using Evans blue, and expression of kinin B(1) receptor mRNA was measured using quantitative reverse transcrition-PCR. Diabetic rats (streptozotocin (STZ), 65 mg kg(-1)) received a single intraocular injection of bradykinin (BK) or des-Arg(9)-BK, alone, or in combination with antagonists for B(1) (des-Arg(10)-Hoe140, R-715) and/or B(2) (Hoe140) receptors, given intraocularly or intravenously (i.v.). KEY RESULTS: In control rats, BK (0.1-10 nmol) dose-dependently increased plasma extravasation, which was inhibited by Hoe140 (0.2 nmol), whereas des-Arg(9)-BK (0.1 and 1 nmol) was without effect. B(1) receptor mRNA was markedly increased in retinas of diabetic rats, and this was prevented by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (1 g kg(-1) day(-1) for 7 days). Plasma extravasation in retinas of STZ-diabetic rats was higher than in controls and enhanced by des-Arg(9)-BK. Response to des-Arg(9)-BK was inhibited by intraocular or i.v. injection of B(1) receptor antagonists. Diabetes-induced plasma extravasation was inhibited only by a combination of des-Arg(10)-Hoe140 and Hoe 140 (100 nmol kg(-1), i.v. 15 min earlier) or by R-715 (1 micromol kg(-1), i.v.) injected daily for 7 days. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Kinin B(1) receptors are upregulated in retinas of STZ-diabetic rats through a mechanism involving oxidative stress. Both kinin B(1) and B(2) receptors contribute to increased plasma extravasation in diabetic retinopathy. Chronic inhibition of both kinin receptors, possibly with antioxidant adjuvants, may be a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic retinopathy. 相似文献

Summary In urethane-anesthetized rats with an intact spinal cord, application of capsaicin on the outer surface of the urinary bladder produced a transient bradycardia, hypotension and negative cardiac inotropism which were neither prevented by i. v. atropine (0.5 mg/kg) nor by cervical vagotomy. In acute spinal rats (C2-C3) application of capsaicin (0.2 and 2 pg in 25 pl) on the urinary bladder induced a transient hypertension, tachycardia and positive cardiac inotropism. A second application (30 min later) induced minor cardiovascular effects, expecially with the higher dose, indicating desensitization. All cardiovascular responses to topical capsaicin were abolished by systemic capsaicin desensitization (50 mg/kg s. c., 4 days before). The excitatory cardiovascular response to capsaicin in acute spinal rats was markedly reduced by bilateral section of pelvic but not hypogastric nerves. Further, it was abolished by pretreatment with hexamethonium (20 mg/kg i.v.) or reserpine (5 mg/kg i. p., 2 days before) and reduced, at various extent for the different components, by phentolamine (0.5 mg/kg i. v.) or propranolol (1 mg/kg). In rats with pelvic and hypogastric nerves intact, section of the cord at a level (T12-L1), just above the medullary segments which receive primary afferent input from the bladder (L6-S1), abolished the excitatory cardiovascular response to application of capsaicin on the bladder. In spinal rats (C2-C3) rapid distension of the urinary bladder with saline produced transient tachycardia, hypertension and positive cardiac inotropism similar to that evoked by capsaicin. These responses were not observed in rats systemically pretreated with capsaicin. These findings indicate that certain bladder afferents which are susceptible to capsaicin desensitization in adult rats activate a spinal reflex having excitatory influence on cardiovascular function. This response is apparently mediated by spinal centers located above the site of entry of bladder pelvic afferents into the cord and most likely involves excitation of preganglionic sympathetic neurons in the spinal cord.Send offprint requests to S.
