Multiple mechanisms in the motor responses of the guinea-pig isolated urinary bladder to bradykinin.

Abstract

1. Bradykinin (1 nm-1 microM) produced a contraction of bladder strips excised from the dome of the guinea-pig urinary bladder, an effect which was greatly enhanced by removal of the mucosal layer or by thiorphan (10 microM). All subsequent experiments were performed in mucosa-free strips and in the presence of thiorphan. 2. In carbachol (5 microM)-contracted strips, bradykinin produced a concentration (1 nm-1 microM)-dependent transient relaxation. 3. Kallidin was slightly more potent than bradykinin in producing a contraction and a relaxation of the carbachol-induced tone. By contrast, [des-Arg9]-bradykinin, a selective B1 receptor agonist was barely effective up to 1 microM. 4. The contractile response to bradykinin was: (a) unaffected by either tetrodotoxin (1 microM), in vitro capsaicin desensitization (10 microM for 30 min) or apamin (0.1 microM); (b) antagonized by indomethacin (5 microM), the prostaglandin receptor antagonist SC-19220 (100 microM) or the B2 receptor antagonist [D-Arg0, Hyp3, Thi5,8, Phe7]-bradykinin (10 micron) and (c) almost abolished by nifedipine (1 microM). 5. The antagonism of the contractile response to bradykinin produced by indomethacin and SC-19220 was non-additive while that produced by indome...Continue Reading
