External Ca-independent release of norepinephrine by sympathomimetics and its role in negative feedback modulation.

چکیده
The release of [3H]norepinephrine from isolated mouse vas deferens has been measured. 1-Phenylephrine and 1-norepinephrine significantly enhanced the spontaneous release of radioactivity. As shown by a combination of HPLC and scintillation spectrometry, the release of total radioactivity in response to 1-phenylephrine or 1-norepinephrine consisted mainly of [3H]norepinephrine. Evidence has been obtained that the release of endogenous norepinephrine by exogenous norepinephrine and 1-phenylephrine is independent of the external Ca2+ concentration. The released endogenous norepinephrine in turn inhibits the release of norepinephrine in response to electrical field stimulation. In the presence of yohimbine, the enhancement of spontaneous release due to 1-phenylephrine (or to 1-norepinephrine) was not affected, whereas there was a significant superimposed release of [3H]norepinephrine in response to field stimulation, indicating that the inhibition of stimulation-induced norepinephrine release is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor-mediated process. An important consequence of these findings is to question previous interpretations that the effects of administration of 1-norepinephrine or 1-phenylephrine are due exclusively to their direct effects on the effector cells. The Ca-independent release of endogenous norepinephrine might partly initiate their pharmacological responses. It is concluded that this Ca-independent release is of functional importance, since norepinephrine may accumulate in a concentration sufficient to modulate the release of norepinephrine from varicosities in response to electrical stimulation.

PURPOSE This study investigated possible mechanisms of autoregulation of Ca(2+) signalling pathways in adipocytes responsible for Ca(2+) and NO oscillations and switching phenomena promoted by acetylcholine (ACh), norepinephrine (NE) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). METHODS Fluorescent microscopy was used to detect changes in Ca(2+) and NO in cultures of rodent white adipocytes. Agonists...

In this paper, by placing the electro optical modulator (EOM) into the external cavity of the semiconductor laser (SL) and amplitude modulation of the optical feedback, the dynamical variation of the output intensity of the laser has been studied. This is analyzed numerically via bifurcation and time series diagrams with respect to the applied amplitude modulation index, and modulation voltage...
متن کاملEctoNucleotidase in cardiac sympathetic nerve endings modulates ATP-mediated feedback of norepinephrine release.
ATP, coreleased with norepinephrine, affects adrenergic transmission by acting on purinoceptors at sympathetic nerve endings. Ectonucleotidases terminate the actions of ATP. Previously, we had preliminary evidence for ectonucleotidase activity in cardiac sympathetic nerve terminals. Therefore, we investigated whether this ectonucleotidase might influence norepinephrine release in the heart. Sym...

Adrenoceptors were among the first neurotransmitter receptors identified in glial cells, but it is not known whether these receptors meditate glial responses during neuronal activity. We show that repetitive nerve activity evoked a rise of intracellular calcium in Bergmann glia and neighboring Purkinje neurons of cerebellar slices of mice. The glial but not the neuronal calcium transient persis...
