Botulinum neurotoxin A attenuates release of norepinephrine but not NPY from vasoconstrictor neurons.

چکیده
We examined effects of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNTA) on sympathetic constrictions of the vena cava and uterine artery from guinea pigs to test the role of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins in release of the cotransmitters norepinephrine (NE) and neuropeptide Y (NPY). Protein extracts of venae cavae and uterine arteries showed partial cleavage of synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) after treatment in vitro with BoNTA (50-100 nM). The rising phase of isometric contractions of isolated venae cavae to field stimulation at 20 Hz, mediated by NE acting on alpha-adrenoceptors, was reduced significantly by 100 nM BoNTA. However, sustained sympathetic contractions mediated by NPY were not affected by BoNTA. In uterine arteries, noradrenergic contractions to 1-Hz stimulation were almost abolished by BoNTA, and contractions at 10 Hz were reduced by 50-60%. We conclude that SNARE proteins are involved in exocytosis of NE from synaptic vesicles at low frequencies of stimulation but may not be essential for exocytosis of NPY and NE from large vesicles at high stimulation frequencies.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is released from sympathetic nerve terminals via a botulinum neurotoxin A-mediated mechanism in canine mesenteric artery.
Using high-performance liquid chromatography techniques with fluorescence and electrochemical detection, we found that beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (beta-NAD) is released in response to electrical field stimulation (4-16 Hz, 0.3 ms, 15 V, 120 s) along with ATP and norepinephrine (NE) in the canine isolated mesenteric arteries. The release of beta-NAD increases with number of pulses/st...

1. In pentobarbitone anaesthetized dogs, preganglionic stimulation of the superior cervical sympathetic nerve (15V, 1 ms, 10 Hz) induced marked reduction of nasal arterial blood flow, whereas parasympathetic nerve stimulation (5 V, 1 ms, 10-30 Hz) evoked frequency-dependent vasodilatation. 2. Sympathetic nerve stimulation for 3 min at 10 Hz evoked significant (P < 0.05) and prolonged attenuatio...
متن کاملIncreased blood pressure responses in neuropeptide Y transgenic rats.
Considering the coexistence of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine in perivascular sympathetic nerves and the known vasoconstrictor cooperation of NPY with norepinephrine, we investigated the involvement of NPY in long-term control of cardiovascular functions using NPY transgenic (NPY-tg) rats. These rats were developed by injection of the rat (Sprague-Dawley) pronuclei with a 14.5-kb clone...
متن کاملSubstance P and NPY differentially potentiate ATP and adrenergic stimulated vasopressin and oxytocin release.
The supraoptic nuclei are innervated by the A1 neurons of the caudal ventrolateral medulla. Substances colocalized in the A1 terminals include norepinephrine (NE), substance P (SP), ATP, and neuropeptide Y (NPY). ATP, acting at P(2x) receptors, caused rapid and unsustained stimulation of vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) release from perifused explants of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial syste...
