Relaxation patterns of human gastric corporal smooth muscle by cyclic nucleotides producing agents.

چکیده
To elucidate the mechanism of cyclic nucleotides, such as adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3',5' -cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), in the regulation of human gastric motility, we examined the effects of forskolin (FSK), isoproterenol (ISO) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on the spontaneous, high K(+) and acetylcholine (ACh)-induced contractions of corporal circular smooth muscle in human stomach. Gastric circular smooth muscle showed regular spontaneous contraction, and FSK, ISO and SNP inhibited its phasic contraction and basal tone in a concentration-dependent manner. High K(+) (50 mM) produced sustained tonic contraction, and ACh (10 microM) produced initial transient contraction followed by later sustained tonic contraction with superimposed phasic contractions. FSK, ISO and SNP inhibited high K(+)-induced tonic contraction and also ACh-induced phasic and tonic contraction in a reversible manner. Nifedipine (1 microM), inhibitor of voltage-dependent L-type calcium current (VDCC(L)), almost abolished ACh-induced phasic contractions. These findings suggest that FSK, ISO and SNP, which are known cyclic nucleotide stimulators, inhibit smooth muscle contraction in human stomach partly via inhibition of VDCC(L).

Mechanisms of adenosine triphosphate-, thrombin-, and trypsin-induced relaxation of rat thoracic aorta.
The mechanisms by which adenosine triphosphate, thrombin, and trypsin cause relaxation of vascular smooth muscle were investigated. Relaxation of the rat thoracic aorta with adenosine triphosphate, thrombin, and/or trypsin was associated with increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in both time- and concentration-dependent manners. Thrombin and trypsin did not alter cyclic adenosine ...
متن کاملMyosin phosphorylation and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by vasodilators.
Recent evidence indicates that contraction of vascular smooth muscle may be regulated by two calcium-dependent mechanisms: activation of myosin kinase, and calcium binding to a second, unknown regulatory site. This hypothesis implies that vasodilators could modify vascular tone by several mechanisms, including inactivation of myosin kinase. Since relaxation of the carotid artery following agoni...
متن کاملLack of cyclic nucleotide regulation of MBCQ-induced relaxation of rat ileal smooth muscle.
The effects of the type V phosphodiesterase (PDE V) inhibitors, MBCQ, zaprinast and dipyridamole, on the relationship between relaxation and cyclic nucleotide content were investigated in rat ileal smooth muscle. Each of MBCQ (0.01-10 microM), zaprinast (0.1-100 microM) and dipyridamole (0.1-100 microM) inhibited carbachol (CCh; 10 microM)-induced contractions in a concentration-dependent manne...
متن کاملTheophylline and selective PDE inhibitors as bronchodilators and smooth muscle relaxants.
In addition to its emerging immunodulatory properties, theophylline is a bronchodilator and also decreases mean pulmonary arterial pressure in vivo. The mechanism of action of this drug remains controversial; adenosine antagonism, phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition and other actions have been advanced to explain its effectiveness in asthma. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and cyclic guanos...
متن کاملAging impairs nitric oxide-mediated relaxant responses of rabbit corporal smooth muscle.
Aging has been reported to cause impotence, the mechanism of which is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effect of aging on electrical stimulation-induced neurogenic, carbachol-induced, endothelium-dependent, and sodium nitroprusside-induced cGMP-dependent relaxant responses of rabbit corporal smooth muscle. Male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into young (4 months), intermediate (8...
