Abstract

We investigated the presence of β3-adrenoceptor and its functional effects on pacemaker potentials in colonic interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) from mice. The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record pacemaker potentials in cultured ICCs and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to detect the mRNA transcript levels β-adrenoceptors. The β3-adrenoceptor agonist, BRL37344, reduced the frequency of pacemaker potentials in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effects of BRL37344 were blocked by the pretreatment of propranolol, a nonspecific β-adrenoceptor antagonist, but not by the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist atenolol and the selective β2-adrenoceptor antagonist butoxamine. β3-adrenoceptor antagonists SR59230A and L748337 blocked the inhibitory effects of BRL37344. RT-PCR revealed mRNA transcripts of β1- and β3-adrenoceptor, but not β2-adrenoceptor, in c-kit- and Ano-1-positive colonic ICCs. The K(+) channel blockers tetraethylammonium, apamin, and glibenclamide did not block the effects of BRL37344. N(ω)-Nitro-l-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), an NO synthase inhibitor, and chelerythrine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, also did not block the effects of BR...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

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.
