β-Adrenoceptor-mediated Relaxation of Urinary Bladder Muscle in β2-Adrenoceptor Knockout Mice
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In order to characterize the β-adrenoceptor (AR) subtypes involved in agonist-stimulated relaxation of murine urinary bladder we studied the effects of (-)-isoprenaline and CL 316,243 on tonic contraction and spontaneous contractions in detrusor strips of wild-type (WT) and β2-AR knockout (β2-AR KO) mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Urinary bladders were isolated from male ...
متن کاملCrucial roles of nitric oxide synthases in β-adrenoceptor-mediated bladder relaxation in mice.
The specific roles of nitric oxide (NO) synthases (NOSs) in bladder smooth muscle remain to be elucidated. We examined the roles of NOSs in β-adrenoceptor (AR)-mediated bladder relaxation. Male mice (C57BL6) deficient of neuronal NOS [nNOS-knockout (KO)], endothelial NOS (eNOS-KO), neuronal/endothelial NOS (n/eNOS-KO), neuronal/endothelial/inducible NOS (n/e/iNOS-KO), and their controls [wild-t...
متن کاملβ-Adrenoceptor-Mediated Relaxation of Carbachol-Pre-Contracted Mouse Detrusor.
AIMS To study the β-adrenoceptor subtypes involved in the relaxation responses to (-)-isoprenaline in carbachol-pre-contracted (CCh) mouse detrusor muscle with intact and denuded mucosa. METHODS Isolated muscle strips from the urinary bladder of male C57BL6 mice or β2-adrenoceptor knockout mice were pre-contracted with CCh, 1 µM and relaxed with increasing concentrations of the β-adrenoceptor...
متن کاملSerelaxin Elicits Bronchodilation and Enhances β-Adrenoceptor-Mediated Airway Relaxation
Treatment with β-adrenoceptor agonists does not fully overcome the symptoms associated with severe asthma. Serelaxin elicits potent uterine and vascular relaxation via its cognate receptor, RXFP1, and nitric oxide (NO) signaling, and is being clinically evaluated for the treatment of acute heart failure. However, its direct bronchodilator efficacy has yet to be explored. Tracheal rings were pre...
