Summary 1. The effects of capsaicin, substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) on motor activity and vascular permeability was investigated in the rat lower urinary tract (bladder dome and neck, proximal urethra and ureters). 2. Capsaicin produced contractions of the rat bladder dome and neck and of the proximal urethra in vitro, which were unaffected by tetrodotoxin and abolished by ganglionectomy. SP and NKA were almost equipotent in producing a contraction of the rat isolated bladder dome or neck and urethra. However, the maximal response to NKA was about twice that of SP on the urethra and bladder neck. 3. Capsaicin did not affect motility of the unstimulated rat isolated ureter, while NKA or SP activated rhythmic contractions, NKA being about 850 times more potent than SP. Either capsaicin or field stimulation produced a transient inhibition of the NKA-activated rhythmic contractions of the rat isolated ureter which was prevented by capsaicin-desensitization. 4. The capsaicin-(1 M) or field stimulation-induced inhibition of NKA-activated rhythmic contractions of the rat isolated ureter were unaffected by removal of pelvic ganglia but abolished by cold storage (72 h at 4°C). 5. Intravenous capsaicin induced an inflammatory response (Evans blue leakage) in the bladder, proximal urethra and ureters in vivo. Plasma extravasation was greater in the ureters, urethra and bladder neck than in the dome. SP, NKA and histamine produced a dose-dependent dye leakage in all segments of the rat urinary tract, the response being slightly greater in the bladder neck than in the dome. 6. The capsaicin-induced inflammatory response was abolished by systemic capsaicin-desensitization and reduced, to a variable extent, by pelvic ganglionectomy, in the various tissues examined. Topical application of tetrodotoxin on the bladder dome failed to affect the capsaicin-induced plasma extravasation in the urinary bladder. 7. These findings indicate that chemoceptive, capsaicin-sensitive nerves are present throughout the whole rat lower urinary tract and their activation determines a variety of visceromotor responses and an increase of vascular permeability. In various instances the response to capsaicin may be explained by the action of tachykinins but some effects may involve other sensory neuropeptides.

Either intra-arterial or topical administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) had little effect on motility of the urinary bladder in urethane-anaesthetized rats. Only a high concentration (50 microM) of topical CGRP activated the micturition reflex and potentiated the response to exogenous substance P (SP). In the isolated rat bladder CGRP had inconsistent effects on spontaneous or field-stimulated contractions. CGRP neither produced any significant plasma extravasation (Evans blue leakage) in the rat lower urinary tract, nor potentiated the response to exogenous SP. CGRP inhibited motility in the rat isolated proximal urethra and ureters and counteracted the contractile response to neurokinins. An inhibitory effect of capsaicin on stimulated motility of the urethra was observed in all preparations and a small contractile response was evident in about 40% of cases. Lack of desensitization to the action of CGRP prevented the study of its interaction with capsaicin. The inhibitory effect of CGRP in the ureter exhibited a specific desensitization: if the preparations were pre-exposed to exogenous CGRP, the inhibition of motility produced by antidromic activation of the capsaicin-sensitive nerve terminals (field stimulation) as well as the response to capsaicin (1 microM) was prevented but the inhibitory response to isoprenaline was unaffected. These findings indicate that CGRP is able to influence markedly the motility of the rat lower urinary tract, but exhibits marked regional differences in its action. Endogenous CGRP could be the inhibitory transmitter which, when released from capsaicin-sensitive fibers, participate in the control of ureteral motility. 相似文献

Effects of capsaicin pretreatment on neuropeptides and salivary secretion of rat parotid glands. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

1. 'Atropine-resistant' secretion of saliva in response to parasympathetic stimulation may reflect antidromic activation of sensory nerve fibres. In this investigation, the effect of pretreatment in the rat with capsaicin (total dose of 125 mg kg-1, s.c.), was determined. 2. In the parotid glands substance P (SP)/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-containing nerve fibres around ducts and blood vessels disappeared after capsaicin, while periacinar SP-containing fibres (devoid of CGRP) and CGRP-containing fibres (devoid of SP) remained. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-containing nerve fibres seemed to be unaffected. The parotid content of SP and CGRP was reduced by 11 and 36% respectively, while that of VIP remained unchanged. 3. The weights of the parotid glands and their sensitivity to the secretagogues methacholine and SP, injected intravenously, were unchanged as was the response to stimulation of the auriculo-temporal nerve in the presence and absence of atropine. 4. In contrast to capsaicin pretreatment, parasympathetic denervation of the parotid gland reduced the weight of the gland and produced an increase in the response to methacholine and SP. 5. For comparison, the effectiveness of the capsaicin treatment on neuropeptide content was determined in the urinary bladder. The bladder of capsaicin-pretreated rats increased in weight (21%) and in VIP content (31%), while the content of SP and CGRP was reduced by 86 and 94%, respectively. SP- and CGRP-containing nerve fibres were virtually eliminated, while VIP-containing nerve fibres seemed unaffected. 6. In conclusion, antidromic activation of primary afferent (capsaicin-sensitive) C-fibres does not contribute significantly to the 'atropine-resistant' secretory response of the parotid gland to stimulation of the parasympathetic nerve. 相似文献

The present study explores whether a peptide, such as substance P (SP), has some role subserving the atropine-resistant component of electrically-evoked contractions, in isolated rat urinary bladders. The electric field stimulation (EFS) employed herein, consisted in square wave pulses of 5 Hz, 50 ms duration and supramaximal voltage (40 V), applied for 10 sec, every 3 min and conducted to the tissue via a pair of platinum ring electrodes, surrounding the isolated preparations. In order to assess whether electric stimuli, induced urinary bladder inotropism through the activation of nerve structures, degeneration of intramural nerve elements was attempted by cooling the tissue (48 h at 4-5 degrees C). After such procedure, 80-90% inhibition of responses to EFS, was detected. Moreover, tetrodotoxin, at 10(-6) M, evoked similar effects than cooling. Atropine, at 10(-6) M, failed to produce a significant decrement of contractile responses, whereas at 10(-5) M, the electrically-induced inotropism declined around 40%, in comparison with controls. In another set of experiments, atropinized urinary bladders (atropine at 10(-5) M) were exposed to capsaicin (5 X 10(-6) M) and this coincided with decreased (-43%) responses to EFS. Next, SP, at 10(-9) M, was added to the medium containing capsaicin and complete restoration of full contractile responses to EFS, was observed. Inasmuch as it has been proposed that capsaicin releases SP from sensory nerve fibers and since our experiments show that SP restored the inotropism elicited by electric stimuli on capsaicin-exposed preparations, it is suggested that SP could be involved, at least in part, in the non-cholinergic, EFS-evoked, contractile responses of isolated rat urinary bladders. 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

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

1. Tachykinin-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis was examined in slices of rat parotid gland, hamster urinary bladder and guinea-pig ileum longitudinal muscle. 2. In the presence of lithium, substance P and other naturally-occurring and synthetic tachykinins induced large, dose-dependent increases in [3H]-inositol monophosphate accumulation. 3. In slices of rat parotid gland, [pGlu6,L-Pro9]SP(6-11) was considerably more potent in stimulating inositol phospholipid hydrolysis than [pGlu6,D-Pro9]SP(6-11). 4. In contrast, in slices of hamster urinary bladder, [pGlu6,D-Pro9]SP(6-11) exhibited greater potency in evoking inositol phospholipid breakdown than [pGlu6,L-Pro9]SP(6-11). 5. The differential selectivity of these C-terminal fragments of substance P suggests that they may be useful tools for distinguishing between NK1 and NK2 receptors. 6. L-659,837 and L-659,874 antagonized eledoisin-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in slices of hamster urinary bladder. Neither compound significantly reduced substance-P evoked inositol phospholipid breakdown in slices of rat parotid gland, or senktide-induced inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in slices of guinea-pig ileum. 7. L-659,837 and L-659,874 had no effect on the atropine-sensitive, carbachol-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in slices of rat parotid gland. 8. These data further support the notion that L-659,837 and L-659,874 are potent and selective NK2 receptor antagonists. 相似文献

The rat urinary bladder was examined as a model for studying tachykinin receptors. The order of potency, the maximal effect and the slope of the dose-response curve were examined with six tachykinins - substance P (SP), physalaemin, phyllomedusin, uperolein, eledoisin, kassinin - and several substance P fragments - SP-(2-11), SP-(3-11), SP-(4-11) and SP-(6-11). The tachykinin receptor on the rat urinary bladder was shown to bind preferentially tachykinins having a hydrophilic amino acid residue in position 5-6, as occurs with physalaemin, phyllomedusin, eledoisin and kassinin. The N-terminal of the tachykinins and in particular substance P is suggested to play a major role in regulating affinity, intrinsic activity and the slope of the dose-response curve. The tachykinins are thought to exert a direct action on smooth muscle. An accessory binding site associated with the tachykinin receptor on rat urinary bladder was also identified. This accessory site binds the N-terminal amino acids of the tachykinins as well as some alpha-adrenergic compounds (phentolamine, prazosin, noradrenaline or adrenaline in the presence of propranolol). When the accessory binding site is occupied by adrenergic compounds, the affinity of the tachykinins is markedly reduced. This observation is interpreted to mean that catecholamines may have a modulatory influence on tachykinin activity on the rat urinary bladder. 相似文献

1. The possible involvement of tachykinins (TKs) in the contraction produced by capsaicin in the rat isolated urinary bladder was addressed on the hypothesis that co-release of substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) occurs from sensory nerve terminals. 2. A low concentration of SP (30 nM) produced a rapid contraction which faded to baseline within 10 min. A low concentration of NKA (10 nM) produced a slowly developing contraction which was still evident at 10 min. Capsaicin (1 microM) produced a rapid phasic response and a tonic response (late response to capsaicin). Co-administration of SP and NKA mimicked the response to capsaicin more than each TK alone. 3. Fading of the response to SP was not caused by receptor desensitization and was partially prevented by peptidase inhibitors. 4. Spantide (3 microM) selectively antagonized the SP-induced contraction while L-659,877 (3-10 microM) or MEN 10,376 (10-30 microM) which are NK2 receptor selective antagonists selectively blocked the response to NKA. Co-administration of spantide and L-659,877 inhibited the response to both SP and NKA by an amount not greater than that produced by each antagonist alone. 5. Spantide selectively reduced the peak response to capsaicin, while leaving the late response unaffected. L-659,877 (3 microM) and MEN 10,376 (10 microM) selectively inhibited the late response to capsaicin while, at higher concentrations, also reduced the peak response to capsaicin. Co-administration of spantide and L-659,877 reduced the peak response to capsaicin more than that produced by each antagonist alone. 6. Bombesin (10 nM) produced a tonic contraction similar to that induced by NKA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

1. The ability of capsazepine, a recently developed capsaicin receptor antagonist, to prevent the effects of capsaicin on the rat isolated urinary bladder (contraction) and vas deferens (inhibition of electrically-evoked twitches) was compared to that of ruthenium red, a dye which behaves as a functional antagonist of capsaicin. 2. In the rat bladder, capsazepine (3-30 microM) produced a concentration-dependent rightward shift of the curve to capsaicin without any significant depression of the maximal response to the agonist. By contrast, ruthenium red (10-30 microM) produced a non-competitive type of antagonism, characterized by marked depression of the maximal response attainable. Similar findings were obtained in the rat isolated vas deferens in which capsazepine (10 microM) produced a rightward shift of the curve to capsaicin while ruthenium red (3 microM) depressed the maximal response to the agonist. 3. At the concentrations used to block the effect of capsaicin, neither capsazepine nor ruthenium red affected the contractile response of the rat urinary bladder produced by either neurokinin A or electrical field stimulation or the twitch inhibition produced by rat alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide (alpha CGRP) in the vas deferens. 4. These findings provide additional evidence that both capsazepine and ruthenium red are valuable tools for exploration of the function of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurones. The antagonism of the action of capsaicin by capsazepine is entirely consistent with the proposed interaction of this substance with a vanilloid receptor located on primary afferents, while the action of ruthenium red apparently involves a more complex, non-competitive antagonism. 相似文献

The release of histamine and serotonin by neuropeptides and capsaicin was measured in the isolated perfused rat hindquarter preparation. Substance P and two antagonistic peptides, [D-Pro2, D-Phe7, D-Trp9]-SP and [D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9)]-SP, release histamine, the SP(4-11) and SP(6-11) analogues did not. VIP and somatostatin released histamine and also serotonin. No amines were released by bombesin. Thus, all amine releasing peptides possessed at least two basic charges. However, the histamine releasing activity of the neuropeptides tested did not correlate with their reported ability to cause vasodilation and plasma extravasation. The SP(4-11) and SP(6-11) analogues which did not release histamine caused plasma extravasation. It is concluded that SP causes plasma extravasation by a direct action on blood vessels. Capsaicin released only serotonin but no histamine either in untreated rats and such desensitized with capsaicin as neonates. In rats desensitized with capsaicin 4 days prior to the experiment the substance P induced histamine release was as high as in untreated controls; it was, however, absent in rats desensitized with capsaicin as neonates. It is assumed that the sensitivity of mast cells to substance P is lost after degeneration of substance P containing primary sensory fibers. 相似文献

Summary 1. The effect of capsaicin on bladder motility in vivo (urethane anaesthesia) and in vitro, plasma extravasation (Evans blue leakage technique) and content of substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) of the urinary bladder was investigated in various mammalian species. 2. Systemic capsaicin desensitization (rat and hamster, 50 mg/kg s.c. 4 days before; guinea-pig 55 mg/kg s. c. 4–7 days before) increased bladder capacity in rats and guinea-pigs and reduced voiding efficiency in guinea-pigs. All other urodynamic parameters were unaffected in both rats, guinea-pigs and hamsters. 3. Reflex bladder voiding was abolished by spinal cord transection in anaesthetized rats and hamsters. On the other hand, hexamethonium-(20 mg/kg i.v.)sensitive voiding contractions were obtained in response to saline filling 45 min from cord transection in guinea-pigs, indicating a profound interspecies variation in the basic organization of micturition. 4. Exposure to capsaicin (1 M) produced a contraction of the isolated bladder from rats, guinea-pigs (dome) and mice. Capsaicin produced only a slight contractile response in the guinea-pig bladder base. The motor response to capsaicin of the rat, guinea-pig and mouse bladder exhibited marked desensitization, suggesting a specific effect on sensory nerves. On the other hand, capsaicin (1 M) produced a slight relaxation of the hamster isolated bladder but this effect was reproducible at 1–2 h intervals, suggesting an unspecific effect. Capsaicin (1–10 M) did not affect motility of strips from the dome or the base of the rabbit bladder. 5. Intravenously administered capsaicin produced a marked plasma extravasation (Evans blue leakage) in the lower urinary tract of rats, mice and guinea pigs. In rats but not guinea-pigs the reaction in the bladder base was greater than in the dome. In hamsters intravenous capsaicin failed to induce any significant Evans blue leakage in the lower urinary tract. 6. SP-LI was detected in the lower urinary tract of rats, guinea-pigs, rabbits and mice but not hamsters. Bladder SP-LI was depleted by systemic capsaicin desensitization in rats, guinea-pigs and mice. Reverse phase HPLC indicated that all the immunoreactive material co-eluted with authentic substance P or its oxidized form. 7. These findings indicate that noticeable species-related differences exist with regard to the functions mediated by the Capsaicin-sensitive neurons in the urinary bladder.

Summary The effect of Hoe 140, a potent bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, on the micturition reflex and detrusor hyperreflexia induced by chemical cystitis has been investigated in anaesthetized rats. Hoe 140 (1–100 nmol/kg i. v.) produced a dose-dependent blockade of the contraction of the rat urinary bladder induced by i. v. administration of bradykinin (100 nmol/kg) without affecting the response produced by the selective tachykinin NK-1 receptor agonist, [Sar9] substance P (SP) sulfone (1 nmol/kg i. v.). At doses which produce selective and long-lasting blockade of bradykinin receptors in the urinary bladder, Hoe 140 did not modify urodynamic parameters in normal rats.Intravesical instillation of xylene in female rats decreased bladder capacity and increased micturition frequency. These effects also occurred in rats pretreated with capsaicin as adults. Hoe 140 did not modify xylene-induced cystitis. Intraperitoneal administration of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg, 48 h before) decreased bladder capacity and increased micturition frequency. These effects of cyclophosphamide were abolished in rats pretreated with capsaicin as adults. Hoe 140 increased bladder capacity and decreased micturition frequency in rats pretreated with cyclophosphamide.Addition of bradykinin (10 µmol/l) to the medium in the superfused rat urinary bladder preparation evoked a prompt increase in the outflow of calcitonin gene-related peptide like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI). Hoe 140 (3 µmol/l) inhibited (by about 50%) the CGRP-LI outflow stimulated by bradykinin.These findings demonstrate the participation of bradykinin, through 132 receptors, in the genesis of detrusor hyperreflexia during cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis. Capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurons are a likely target for Hoe 140 action in this model of experimental cystitis, as exemplified by its ability to prevent CGRP-LI outflow by bradykinin.Correspondence to C.

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. Toluene diisocyanate produced concentration-dependent contractions of the rat isolated urinary bladder. 2. The contractions were tetrodotoxin-resistant and were abolished by previous exposure of the strips to capsaicin. 3. Indomethacin (5 microM) and ruthenium red (30 microM) inhibited toluene diisocyanate-induced contractions. Responses expressed as a percentage of the response obtained with substance P, 30 nM, were respectively 141.6 +/- 24.8% and 20.1 +/- 5.1% in control and indomethacin-treated strips (P less than 0.005); 123.0 +/- 30.2% and 14.0 +/- 6.5% in control and ruthenium red-treated strips (0.01 less than P less than 0.05). 4. These results suggest that toluene diisocyanate-induced contractions of the rat isolated bladder are the result of the release of cyclo-oxygenase products which may act by activating the capsaicin receptor. 相似文献

1. Intravesical instillation of xylene (10-100%, dissolved in silicone oil) through a catheter implanted into the bladder of conscious, freely-moving rats produced behavioural effects (licking of lower abdomen or perineal region) suggestive of intense visceral pain, not mimicked by topical application of the irritant on the urethral outlet. 2. The xylene-induced visceral pain was prevented, to the same extent, by systemic desensitization to capsaicin (50 mg/kg s.c.) performed in either adult or newborn rats, as well as by extrinsic bladder denervation (pelvic ganglionectomy), thus indicating the involvement of primary afferents in the bladder wall. 3. Other behavioural responses induced by xylene instillation into the bladder (hind limb hyperextension, grooming) were not affected by systemic capsaicin desensitization in either adult or newborn rats, but were abolished by bladder denervation. 4. Systemic capsaicin desensitization produced an almost complete depletion of substance P-, neurokinin A-like and calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity in the rat urinary bladder. 5. These findings indicate that, in addition to their role in activating reflex micturition, the neuropeptides-containing capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves of the rat bladder are involved in chemogenic visceral pain. 相似文献

Sensory nerves and urinary bladder function: effects of diabetes, capsaicin and acrylamide treatment
1. A comparison was made of the proposed neurotoxic effects of acrylamide, capsaicin, and diabetes on rat urinary bladder pressure responses elicited by infusion of buffer into the organ (distension). 2. Treatment with capsaicin or acrylamide completely abolished the bladder pressure responses. 3. After 4 weeks of diuresis equivalent to that of the diabetic model, the pressure response was markedly diminished compared to control. This response was greatly increased following L-DOPA, which augments the micturition reflex. 4. After 4 weeks of streptozoticin-induced diabetes, the pressure response was slightly diminished compared to control and most closely resembled the response from the diuretic group treated with L-DOPA. 相似文献

Summary (1) Topical administration of Ruthenium Red (10–100 M in saline) to the serosal surface of the urinary bladder in urethane-anesthetized rats prevented the motor response of the urinary bladder to topical administration of capsaicin and protected the sensory fibers from capsaicin desensitization, but had no effect on the volume-evoked contractions (micturition reflex). At 1 mM increased bladder capacity and decreased amplitude of micturition contraction were observed. (2) At 100 M, topical Ruthenium Red prevented the blood pressure rise produced by topical administration of capsaicin onto the bladder but did not affect the blood pressure rise produced by sudden bladder distension in spinal rats. (3) After intrathecal administration, Ruthenium Red (80–800 ng/rat) produced a long lasting inhibition of the micturition reflex in urethane-anesthetized rats, this effect being evident in both vehicleor capsaicin- (50 mg/kg s. c. 4 days before) pretreated rats. At 800 ng/rat, intrathecal Ruthenium Red did not affect the blood pressure rise produced by topical administration of capsaicin onto the rat bladder nor that produced by bladder distension. (4) These findings provide further evidence that Ruthenium Red acts quite selectively as a capsaicin antagonist preventing both reflex and efferent responses activated by peripherally administered capsaicin. By contrast, sensory impulse generation by a natural stimulus such as bladder distension is apparently unaffected by Ruthenium Red. The marked inhibition of the micturition reflex observed after intrathecal administration of Ruthenium Red does probably not involve an interaction with primary afferents in the spinal cord. 相似文献

1. Following the recent proposal that the selective agonist septide, ([pGlu6,Pro9]SP(6-11)), acts on a novel tachykinin receptor distinct from the ''classical'' NK1 receptor, the aim of the study was to investigate the possible heterogeneity of tachykinin NK1 receptors in the rat urinary bladder. 2. The synthetic tachykinin receptor agonists, septide (pD2 7.87) and [Sar9]substance P (SP) sulphone (pD2 7.64) produced concentration-dependent contractions of the rat isolated urinary bladder. 3. The NK1 receptor antagonists GR82,334, (+/-)-CP96,345, and RP67,580 competitively antagonized (slopes of Schild plot not significantly different from unity) the response to septide with the rank order of potency (pKB values in parentheses): RP 67,580 (7.57) > GR 82,334 (7.01) > (+/-)-CP 96,345 (6.80). The same antagonists were significantly less potent when tested against [Sar9]SP sulphone, while maintaining the same rank order of potency: RP 67,580 (7.00) > GR 82,334 (5.93) > (+/-)-CP 96,345 (< 6). The antagonists did not affect the concentration-response curve to bombesin. 4. To exclude the involvement of the NK2 receptor, a second series of experiments was performed in the presence of the potent nonpeptide NK2 receptor antagonist, SR 48,968. SR 48,968 (1 microM) produced a rightward shift of the concentration-response curve to the NK2 receptor selective agonist, [beta Ala8]neurokinin A (NKA) (4-10). SR 48,968 did not significantly modify the response to SP, NKA, neurokinin B (NKB), neuropeptide K (NPK), neuropeptide gamma (NP gamma), SP(4-11), SP(6-11), septide or [Sar9]SP sulphone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A series of tachykinin antagonists has been synthetized by substituting the amino acids of eight naturally occurring tachykinins into the general antagonist [pro4, trp7,9, Phe 11]tachykinin-(4-11). Five decapeptide antagonists were also synthetized. These antagonists were tested on four smooth muscle preparations, the rabbit mesenteric vein, the guinea-pig ileum, the guinea-pig trachea and the rat urinary bladder. On all tissues, except the rat urinary bladder, antagonists that had amino acids other than Gln5 Gln6 found in the substance P molecule were inactive as antagonists, and some had marked intrinsic activity on the guinea-pig ileum and the guinea-pig trachea. The inhibitory activity of these antagonists on the rat urinary bladder, however, was quite marked. The activities of these antagonists on the rat urinary bladder can be summarized as follows: (a) In general decapeptide antagonists were of low affinity. (b) Octapeptide antagonists showed variable affinities against the various tachykinins and some were selective. The only two antagonists which were fairly active against all tachykinins were [pro4, trp7,9, Phe11]SP-(4-11) and [pro4, trp7,9, Phe11] UPE-(4-11). (c) Physalaemin was frequently antagonized in a non-surmountable manner. (d) Eledoisin and kassinin were each inhibited by only one antagonist, and the antagonist was different for each tachykinin. Some tachykinin receptors on smooth muscle have a binding site which is highly selective for Gln5 Gln6, especially if the affinity of antagonists is considered. Another tissue, the rat urinary bladder, does not exhibit this selectivity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
