| Research Abstract |
This study was carried out to determine the effects of Rho-kinase inhibitors, Y-27632 and fasudil, on the anticholinesterase (anti-ChE)-induced contractile and phosphatidylinositol responses of rat trachea. In vitro measurements of isometric tension and [^3H] inositol monophosphate (IP_1) formed were conducted by using rat tracheal rings or slices. Neostigmine- and pyridostigmine-induced contractions were almost completely inhibited by Y-27632 and fasudil at 30 μM for each, while acetylcholine-induced contraction was inhibited incompletely, i.e., by 56% by Y-27632 and by 51% by fasudil, at 100 μM for each, respectively. The inhibitory effects of fasudil on neostigmine- and acetylcholine-induced contractions were completely reversed by calyculin-A, a myosin phosphatase inhibitor. Neostigmine-induced IP1 accumulation was attenuated by fasudil at 100 μM. The results suggest that anti-ChEs cause airway smooth muscle contraction in part through activation of the Rho-kinase pathway.
