Abstract

Although 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) contracts airway smooth muscle in many mammalian species, in guinea pig and human airways 5-HT causes a contraction followed by relaxation. This study explored potential mechanisms involved in the relaxation induced by 5-HT. Using organ baths, patch clamp, and intracellular Ca(2+) measurement techniques, the effect of 5-HT on guinea pig airway smooth muscle was studied. A wide range of 5-HT concentrations caused a biphasic response of tracheal rings. Response to 32 microM 5-HT was notably reduced by either tropisetron or methiothepin, and almost abolished by their combination. Incubation with 10 nM ketanserin significantly prevented the relaxing phase. Likewise, incubation with 100 nM charybdotoxin or 320 nM iberiotoxin and at less extent with 10 microM ouabain caused a significant reduction of the relaxing phase induced by 5-HT. Propranolol, L-NAME and 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B)/5-HT(1D) and 5-HT(2B) receptors antagonist did not modify this relaxation. Tracheas from sensitized animals displayed reduced relaxation as compared with controls. In tracheas precontracted with histamine, a concentration response curve to 5-HT (32, 100 and 320 microM) induced relaxation and this effect was abolished by char...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
