The intracellular level of cyclic AMP in the taenia from the guinea pig caecum was significantly increased by isoprenaline in a dose-dependent manner. Papaverine also increased the intracellular cyclic AMP level, but a synthetic antispasmodic agent, Aspaminol (1,1-diphenyl-3-piperidinobutanol hydrochloride) did not modify it. The results suggest that there are two mechanisms for the so-called papaverine-like actions. The increase in the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration produced by isoprenaline was prevented by propranolol. In taenia depolarized by KCl, papaverine caused relaxation but isoprenaline did not. This difference can be explained by the observation that the intracellular cyclic AMP level in the KCl-depolarized taenia is increased by papaverine but not by isoprenaline. 相似文献

Phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities that were capable of hydrolysing cyclic AMP (Km = 6.8 +/- 2 microM) and cyclic GMP (Km = 6.7 +/- 1.6 microM) were isolated from tracheal smooth muscle. These enzyme(s) activities were insensitive to stimulation by calcium/calmodulin and to inhibition by cyclic GMP, rolipram (type IV inhibitor) and siguazodan (type III inhibitor). Zaprinast was a relatively poor inhibitor of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP hydrolysis (IC50 = 46 +/- 9 microM and 45 +/- 14 microM respectively). These results suggest that tracheal smooth muscle may contain an apparently novel PDE. However, KCl (30 mM) which facilitates calcium entry in cells, depressed bradykinin-stimulated intracellular cyclic AMP formation, suggesting that the type I PDE may be functionally present. We suggest that considerable caution be exercised in identifying apparently novel PDE isoforms. 相似文献

The effects of 10?4-10?3 M theopphylline, cyclic 3'5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBC) and theophylline plus DBC were observed on the spontaneous and potassium (K)-induced contractions of the guinea-pig taenia coli. All of the compounds inhibited spontaneous contractions as well as the phasic and tonic components of the K-contracture. The effects of cyclic AMP, a compound which will not readily penetrate the cell membrane, were similar to those of the other compounds in inhibiting the spontaneous and phasic contractions, but it was a less effective inhibitor of the tonic contracture. Inhibition of spontaneous and phasic activity may occur at the cell membrane while the inhibitory actions on the tonic contracture may depend on cellular penetration by the inhibitor. There was no evidence that theophylline and DBC have different sites of action. 相似文献

Histamine (10(-5)--3 x 10(-4) M) increased the cylic AMP content of guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle, the maximal effect being a 3-fold increase after 2-min incubation with 10(-4) histamine. Histamine-induced accumulation of cyclic AMP was not affected by propranolol or atropine, but was reduced by mepyramine. Aspirin and indomethacin abolished the cyclic AMP response to histamine and potentiated histamine-induced contractions of the smooth muscle. These results suggest that the elevation of cyclic AMP levels in response to histamine is mediated by prostaglandins, and represents an important negative feedback regulatory mechanism which modulates the contractile response of guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle to histamine. 相似文献

Nitric oxide donors enhance calcitonin gene-related peptide-induced elevations of cyclic AMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Vasorelaxant effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are dependent on endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) in some arteries. The mechanism involved is still not clear. In the present study, we used NO donors (sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and 6-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-nitrisohydrazino)-N-methyl-1-hyxanamine (NOC-9)), cyclic GMP elevator (brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)) and a selective type III (cyclic GMP-inhibited) phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor 5-(4-acetamidophenyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one (SK&F94120) to investigate involvement of NO, cyclic GMP and type III PDE in CGRP-induced accumulation of cyclic AMP in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. SNP (10 microM), NOC-9 (10 microM) and BNP (1 microM) all increased intracellular cyclic GMP to similar levels (2- to 2.5-fold above basal) and caused significant enhancement of CGRP (10 nM)-induced cyclic AMP accumulation similar to that caused by 10 microM SK&F 94120. The data are therefore consistent with our hypothesis that the mechanism of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation effect of CGRP involves cyclic GMP-mediated inhibition of type III PDE and subsequent accumulation of cyclic AMP in smooth muscle cells. 相似文献

Increased cyclic AMP in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and relaxation of aortic strips by parathyroid hormone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were examined in three model systems to determine the mechanism of PTH action in vascular tissue. Bovine parathyroid extract and synthetic bPTH-(1-34) relaxed norepinephrine-contracted rabbit aortic strips in a dose-dependent fashion. The ED50 was 33.1 nM (21.8-50.1 nM). The hypotensive diterpene, forskolin and the phosphodiesterase inhibitors, methylisobutylxanthine and papaverine, all greatly potentiated the relaxant action of PTH. Primary cultures of vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from rabbit and rat aorta and bovine pulmonary artery all responded to bPTH-(1-34) with 5- to 10-fold increases in intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations within 1 min. Again, this action of PTH was also markedly augmented (3-fold or greater) by methylisobutylxanthine, papaverine or forskolin. In addition, 1 microM bPTH-(1-34) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in membrane preparations from vascular smooth muscle cells in the presence or absence of 100 microM GMPPNHP. These results indicate that PTH exerts direct relaxant actions on vascular smooth muscle and that cyclic AMP may be involved in the mechanism of PTH action in vascular tissue. 相似文献

The effect of inhibitors of nitric oxide biosynthesis and cyclic GMP formation on nerve-evoked relaxation of human cavernosal smooth muscle. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
1. The inhibitory transmission in isolated preparations of cavernosal smooth muscle from human penis has been studied. 2. Electrical field stimulation (EFS; 2-64 pulses/train, 0.8 ms pulse duration, 10 Hz) evoked relaxation of preparations treated with guanethidine (50 microM). The EFS-evoked relaxations were atropine-resistant and tetrodotoxin-sensitive indicating their origin to be non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) nerve stimulation. 3. EFS-evoked relaxation was attenuated dose-dependently by the nitric oxide (NO)-synthase inhibitor, L-NG-nitro arginine (L-NOARG; 0.3-100 microM) but not by D-NG-nitro arginine. The inhibitory effect of L-NOARG on transmission was antagonized by L-arginine (100 microM), a NO precursor, but not by D-arginine. 4. Incubation with methylene blue (10-50 microM), a known inhibitor of guanylate cyclase activation by NO, caused a concentration-related inhibition of EFS-evoked relaxation. 5. It is concluded that NANC nerve-evoked relaxation of human cavernosal smooth muscle is mediated by NO or a NO-like substance. 相似文献

Inhibition of a high affinity cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and relaxation of canine tracheal smooth muscle 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity of canine tracheal smooth muscle (CTS,) was examined. Column chromatography of soluble CTSM-PDE revealed five peaks of activity. One of these peaks (V) was examined further in this study and showed a high affinity for adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (Km = 0.63 microM). Seven pharmacological PDE inhibitors were tested for their abilities to inhibit the peak V enzyme and also for their abilities to cause mechanical relaxation of CTSM strips in isolated tissue baths. A strong correlation (P greater than 0.001) between peak V PDE inhibition (-log Ki) and airway muscle relaxation (-log ED50) was found. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP has been shown to induce intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and adenylate cyclase inhibition via P2 purinoceptors in several species of cells. Now we found that in calf vascular smooth muscle cells the addition of ATP to the medium did not induce inhibition but stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation, in addition to stimulation of inositol phosphate production. Adenosine and AMP also induced cyclic AMP accumulation but their efficacy was much less than that of ATP. The ATP action was not influenced by the presence of either adenosine deaminase or of an ATP regenerating system, whereas the AMP action was increased by the regenerating system. The results indicate that the cyclic AMP accumulation by ATP is due to ATP itself but neither to adenosine nor to AMP, both of which are produced from ATP. ATP receptor coupled to the cyclic AMP generation was shown to be different from that coupled to phospholipase C based on the difference in the potency order of the receptor agonists and in the sensitivity of P2 receptor agonists to 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX)- and suramin-induced antagonism. We conclude that in the aortic smooth muscle cells a novel P2-type receptor directly coupled to adenylate cyclase activation exists in addition to the previously known P2 receptor linked to phospholipase C activation. 相似文献

Ginsenoside, an extract of Panax ginseng, is an essential constituent of anti-asthmatic Chinese herbal medicine. To elucidate whether ginsenoside affects airway smooth muscle tone and, if so, what the mechanism of action is, we studied relaxant responses of human bronchial strips under isometric condition in vitro, and directly measured the release of nitric oxide (NO) by an amperometric sensor for this molecule. Addition of ginsenoside relaxed the tissues precontracted with acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner, the maximal relaxation and the ginsenoside concentration required to produce 50% relaxation being 67+/-8% and 210+/-29 microg ml(-1), respectively. The relaxant responses to ginsenoside were inhibited by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) and removal of the epithelium, but not by N(G)-nitro-D-arginine methylester (D-NAME) or tetrodotoxin. This inhibitory effect of L-NAME was reversed by L-arginine but not by D-arginine. Addition of ginsenoside to the medium containing bronchial tissues dose-dependently increased NO-selective electrical current, and this effect was greatly attenuated by the epithelial removal or Ca(2+)-free medium. Ginsenoside also increased tissue cyclic GMP contents, an effect that was abolished in the presence of L-NAME. It is concluded that ginsenoside induces relaxation of human bronchial smooth muscle via stimulation of NO generation predominantly from airway epithelium and cyclic GMP synthesis. This action might account for the anti-asthmatic effect of Panax ginseng. 相似文献

The action of pardaxin (PX), a toxin isolated from the secretion of the Red Sea flatfish, Pardachirus marmoratus, was studied on longitudinal muscle of guinea-pig ileum. Pardaxin contracted the ileum and subsequently abolished muscle contraction to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), but did not affect the responses to acetylcholine (ACh) and substance P(SP). Pardaxin-induced contraction was only partially suppressed by atropine and not affected by tetrodotoxin or morphine. Preparations desensitized to 5-HT or SP responded normally to pardaxin. Pardaxin-induced contractions were normal in K+-depolarizing Krebs Ringer solution and not affected by black widow spider venom. It is concluded that the pardaxin-induced muscle contractions are not mediated through the release of neurotransmitters and do not involve 5-HT, SP or ACh receptors, but are due to a direct action on the muscle contractile mechanism. 相似文献

1. Vasorelaxant properties of three nitric oxide (NO) donor drugs (glyceryl trinitrate, sodium nitroprusside and spermine NONOate) in mouse aorta (phenylephrine pre-contracted) were compared with those of endothelium-derived NO (generated with acetylcholine), NO free radical (NO*; NO gas solution) and nitroxyl ion (NO(-); from Angeli's salt). 2. The soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, ODQ (1H-(1,2,4-)oxadiazolo(4,3-a)-quinoxalin-1-one; 0.3, 1 and 10 microM), concentration-dependently inhibited responses to all agents. 10 microM ODQ abolished responses to acetylcholine and glyceryl trinitrate, almost abolished responses to sodium nitroprusside but produced parallel shifts (to a higher concentration range; no depression in maxima) in the concentration-response curves for NO gas solution, Angeli's salt and spermine NONOate. 3. The NO* scavengers, carboxy-PTIO, (2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide; 100 microM) and hydroxocobalamin (100 microM), both inhibited responses to NO gas solution and to the three NO donor drugs, but not Angeli's salt. Hydroxocobalamin, but not carboxy-PTIO, also inhibited responses to acetylcholine. 4. The NO(-) inhibitor, L-cysteine (3 mM), inhibited responses to Angeli's salt, acetylcholine and the three NO donor drugs, but not NO gas solution. 5. The data suggest that, in mouse aorta, responses to all three NO donors involve (i) activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, but to differing degrees and (ii) generation of both NO* and NO(-). Glyceryl trinitrate and sodium nitroprusside, which generate NO following tissue bioactivation, have profiles resembling the profile of endothelium-derived NO more than that of exogenous NO. Spermine NONOate, which generates NO spontaneously outside the tissue, was the drug that most closely resembled (but was not identical to) exogenous NO. 相似文献

The intracellular mechanism of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-induced, charybdotoxin (ChTx)-sensitive relaxation of longitudinal muscle of the distal colon of Wistar-ST rats was studied. A single pulse or 100 pulses at 10 Hz of electrical field stimulation (EFS) induced rapid transient relaxation or that with a subsequent contraction of the longitudinal muscle in the presence of atropine and guanethidine, respectively. Rp-8 bromo cAMPS, an inhibitor of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase (PKA), at 30 microM inhibited the relaxations induced by EFS with a single or 100 pulses maximally by about 80 or 60%, respectively. It also inhibited VIP (300 nM)-induced relaxation by 82%. VIP (100 nM - 1 microM) increased the cyclic AMP content of longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparations obtained from the distal colon. ChTx at 100 nM almost completely inhibited 8 bromo cyclic AMP-induced relaxation of the distal segments. EFS with two or three pulses at 10 Hz induced inhibitory junction potentials consisting of two phases, rapid and subsequent slow hyperpolarization in the membrane potential of longitudinal smooth muscle cells. Rp-cAMPS, another inhibitor of PKA, inhibited the delayed slow hyperpolarization. It also inhibited the exogenously added VIP-induced hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. Thus, the present study suggests that activation of PKA via activation of VIP receptors is associated with activation of ChTx-sensitive K(+) channels in relaxation of longitudinal muscle of the distal colon of Wistar-ST rats.

1. In this study, the effects of a protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, and a soluble tumour necrosis factor (TNF) binding/IgG fusion protein, p55-sf2, on the priming and challenge stages of the local Shwartzman reaction (LSR) were assessed and compared with their effects on the acute inflammatory response induced by recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-alpha (rhTNF), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a reversed passive Arthus (RPA) reaction in rabbit skin. 2. The LSR was induced in skin by giving an intradermal (i.d.) priming injection of LPS followed by two i.v. challenge injections 20 h and 22 h later. Accumulation of 51-Cr-labelled red blood cells and [125I]-albumin were measured at 24 h as markers of haemorrhage and oedema formation, respectively. 3. The RPA reaction was induced in the rabbit by giving i.d. injections of Arthus anti-serum (anti-bovine-gamma-globulin, BGG) followed 5 min later by an i.v. injection of the antigen (BGG). Oedema formation and the accumulation of 111In-labelled neutrophils produced in the RPA reaction and in response to i.d. injection of rhTNF and LPS were measured over the 4 h period after inducing the responses. 4. A single local injection of cycloheximide (10 micrograms/site) did not inhibit neutrophil accumulation or oedema formation produced by 100% Arthus anti-sera. Although LPS injected i.d. induced a marked dose-dependent neutrophil accumulation, there was little associated plasma leakage. Cycloheximide (10 micrograms/site) did not significantly inhibit the neutrophil accumulation induced by LPS (0.1 microgram/site). In the LSR, priming i.d. injections of LPS caused a dose-dependent increase in haemorrhage and plasma leakage at skin sites after challenge with LPS (two injections of 100 micrograms, i.v.). Co-injection of a single dose of cycloheximide (10 micrograms/site) with LPS (30 micrograms/site) caused a marked reduction in the amount of haemorrhage. Local cycloheximide (10 micrograms/site) administered immediately before LSR challenge did not affect the responses produced in the LSR. 5. Neutrophil accumulation induced by TNF (0.17 micrograms/site) was abolished by co-administration of p55-sf2 (3 micrograms/site) whereas neutrophil accumulation induced by i.d. LPS and produced in the RPA reaction was not affected. In the LSR, haemorrhage and oedema formation were inhibited by p55-sf2 (3 micrograms/site) when it was administered i.d. with the LPS priming injection, but not when given i.d. immediately before LSR challenge. 6. These data suggest that the acute neutrophil accumulation produced in the RPA reaction and in response to i.d. LPS may not be dependent on local protein synthesis or TNF production. On the other hand, haemorrhage appears to be dependent on local protein synthesis during the priming phase but not during the challenge stage of the LSR. Importantly, haemorrhage and plasma leakage appear to be dependent on local TNF generation during the priming phase but not during the challenge stage of the LSR. Thus TNF appears to play a key role in the LSR in rabbit skin. 相似文献

Differential mechanisms of urethral smooth muscle relaxation by several NO donors and nitric oxide 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A. García-Pascual G. Costa A. Labadía E. Jimenez D. Triguero 《Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology》1999,360(1):80-91
We have examined the mechanisms of action of a broad spectrum of nitric oxide (NO) donors, including several S-nitrosothiols, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nitroglycerine (GTN), in relation to their relaxant activity of urethral smooth
muscle. For all the compounds examined, NO release (in solution and in the presence of urethral tissue), relaxation responses,
elevations in cGMP levels and the effect of thiol modulators were evaluated and compared with the effect of NO itself.
Whilst all NO donors, except GTN, released NO in solution due to photolysis or chemical catalysis, this release was not correlated
with their relaxant activity in sheep urethral preparations, which were furthermore not affected by the NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl
3-oxide (cPTIO; 0.3 mM). A substantial NO-generating activity was found for S-nitroso-L-cysteine (CysNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine (SNAP) in the presence of urethral cytosolic fractions, suggesting metabolic activation to NO in the cytosol
of the target tissue. In contrast, NO generation from S-nitroso-N-acetyl-L-cysteine (N-ac-CysNO), S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and SNP were reduced by the presence of urethral homogenate and/or subcellular fractions, suggesting
direct NO transfer to tissue constituents. NO donors and NO gas induced dissimilar degrees of cGMP accumulation in urethral
tissue, while they were essentially equipotent as urethral relaxants. Furthermore, 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazole-[4,3-a]-quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ; 10 μM) inhibited both relaxation and cGMP accumulations, but with different potency for the different
compounds. Oxidation of sarcolemmal thiol groups with 5-5′-dithio-bis[2-nitrobenzoic acid] (DTNB; 0.5 mM) enhanced relaxations
to GSNO, an effect that was reversed by dithiotreitol (DTT; 1 mM), suggesting a direct effect through nitrosylation/oxidation
reactions at the cell membrane, while relaxations to NO and to all the other compounds were not affected by these treatments.
Finally, photodegradation of SNP induced the formation of a stable intermediate that still evoked NO-cGMP-mediated relaxations.
This indicates that the assumption that SNP is fully depleted of NO by exposure to light should be revised.
It can be concluded that important differences exist in the mechanisms by which distinct NO donors relax urethral smooth muscle
and they cannot be regarded simply as NO-releasing prodrugs.

1. [3H]-adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate ([3H]-cyclic AMP) responses were studied in primary cultures of human tracheal smooth muscle cells derived from explants of human trachealis muscle and in short term cultures of acutely dissociated trachealis cells. 2. Isoprenaline induced concentration-dependent [3H]-cyclic AMP formation with an EC50 of 0.2 microM. The response to 10 microM isoprenaline reached a maximum after 5-10 min stimulation and remained stable for periods of up to 1 h. After 10 min stimulation, 1 microM isoprenaline produced a 9.5 fold increase over basal [3H]-cyclic AMP levels. The response to isoprenaline was inhibited by ICI 118551 (10 nM), (apparent KA 1.9 x 10(9) M-1) indicating the probable involvement of a beta 2-adrenoceptor in this response in human cultured tracheal smooth muscle cells. However, with 50 nM ICI 118551 there was a reduction in the maximum response to isoprenaline. Prostaglandin E2 also produced concentration-dependent [3H]-cyclic AMP formation (EC50 0.7 microM, response to 1 microM PGE2 6.4 fold over basal). 3. Forskolin (1 nM - 100 microM) induced concentration-dependent [3H]-cyclic AMP formation in these cells. A 1.6 fold (over basal) response was also observed following stimulation with NaF (10 mM). 4. The nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) (0.1 mM) and the type IV, cyclic AMP selective, phosphodiesterase inhibitor rolipram (0.1 mM) both elevated basal [3H]-cyclic AMP levels by 1.8 and 1.5 fold respectively. IBMX (1-100 microM) and low concentrations of rolipram (< 10 microM), also potentiated the response to 1 microM isoprenaline.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
