Modification of transmitter release from periarterial nerve terminals by dipyridamole in canine isolated splenic artery.
Clinical and experimental pharmacology & physiology, 2004Co-Authors: Makoto Naito, Xiao-ping Yang, Shigetoshi ChibaAbstract:1. The aim of the present study was to determine the modulatory effects of dipyridamole on purinergic and Adrenergic Transmission in the canine isolated, perfused splenic artery. 2. Periarterial nerve electrical stimulation readily induced a double-peaked vasoconstriction consisting of an initial transient, predominantly P2X receptor-mediated constriction followed by a prolonged, mainly alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated response. 3. Exposure of tissues to dipyridamole (0.1-1 micro mol/L) dose-dependently inhibited both the first and second peaks of the vasoconstrictor response at a low frequency of stimulation (1 Hz), whereas at an intermediate frequency of stimulation (4 Hz), the first peak of the response was depressed without any significant effect being observed on the second peak of constriction. 4. At a higher dose (1 micro mol/L) dipyridamole potentiated vasoconstrictor responses to noradrenaline (0.03-1 nmol). At any doses used, dipyridamole had no effect on the vasoconstrictor responses to ATP (0.03-1 micro mol). 5. Tyramine (0.01-0.3 micro mol) induced vasoconstriction in a dose-dependent manner. The dose-response curves for tyramine were shifted to the right following treatment with dipyridamole (0.1-1 micro mol/L). 6. The present results indicate that dipyridamole may inhibit purinergic and Adrenergic Transmission presynaptically, whereas postsynaptically dipyridamole may potentiate the Adrenergic vascular constriction by inhibition of transmitter uptake.

Differential effects of ω-conotoxin GVIA, tetrodotoxin and prolonged cold storage on purinergic and Adrenergic Transmission in isolated canine splenic artery
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2000Co-Authors: Xiao-ping Yang, Shigetoshi ChibaAbstract:Double-peaked vasoconstrictions (biphases of vasoconstrictions) were readily induced in the conditions of 30 s trains of pulses at 1 Hz in the isolated, perfused canine splenic artery. P2X purinoceptors have previously been shown to be involved mainly in the first-peaked response and α 1 -adrenoceptors mostly in the second. The treatment with 10 nM co-conotoxin GVIA (ω-CTX) produced a parallel inhibitory effect on the first- and second-peaked vasoconstrictor responses to nerve stimulation. A submaximal concentration of tetrodotoxin (TTX) (3 nM) did not affect the first peak of constriction, but strongly inhibited the second peak, although a larger dose of TTX (30 nM) abolished either the first- or second-peaked response. On the other hand, after cold storage at 4°C for 7 days, the first-peaked vasoconstriction markedly decreased, whereas the second-peaked response was not significantly modified. In conclusion: (I) ω-CTX-sensitive calcium channels may produce a parallel modulation of purinergic and Adrenergic components of sympathetic coTransmission; (2) TTX-sensitive sodium channels may have a more important role in controlling the Adrenergic rather than purinergic Transmission; and (3) the function of purinergic Transmission of sympathetic nerve might be affected more strongly than that of Adrenergic Transmission in the cold-stored canine splenic artery.

Adrenergic signalling between rat taste receptor cells.
The Journal of physiology, 2002Co-Authors: Scott Herness, Fang-li Zhao, Namik Kaya, Tiansheng Shen, Xiao-dong SunAbstract:In taste buds, synaptic Transmission is traditionally thought to occur from taste receptor cells to the afferent nerve. This communication reports the novel observation that taste receptor cells respond to Adrenergic stimulation. Noradrenaline application inhibited outward potassium currents in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibition was mimicked by the beta agonist isoproterenol and blocked by the beta antagonist propranolol. The alpha agonists clonidine and phenylephrine both inhibited the potassium currents and elevated intracellular calcium levels. Inwardly rectifying potassium currents were unaffected by Adrenergic stimulation. Experiments using the RT-PCR technique demonstrate that lingual epithelium expresses multiple alpha (alpha1a, alpha1b, alpha1c, alpha1d, alpha2a, alpha2b, alpha2c) and beta (beta1, beta2) subtypes of Adrenergic receptors, and immunocytochemistry localized noradrenaline to a subset of taste receptor cells. Collectively, these data imply strongly that Adrenergic Transmission within the taste bud may play a paracrine role in taste physiology.
