| Research Abstract |
Monoamines such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine are potent vasoconstrictors. The goal of this study was to examine receptor-mediated hydrolysis of membrane inositol phospholipids and its regulation, which results in the generation of two intracellular second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP3) and diacylglycerol in vascular smooth muscles. We adopted ^<32>Pi labeling method in intact aortic ring preparatin and ^3H-inositol labeling method in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells obtained from rabbits. These amines stimulated phosphoinositides breakdown dose-dependently through <alpha>^2-adrenergic, 5HT2 and H1 receptor activations. Phosphatidylinositol labeling curve and contractin curve for each agonist were similar. We found that a guanine nucleotide inhibitory (Gi) protein coupled 5HT receptor to phospholipase C and phorbol esters such as TPA modulated 5HT-stimu-lated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids. Specific regulatory mechanisms for each agonist may exist between receptor activatin and phosphoinositides breakdown, as early degradation and resynthesis of phosphoinositides (PI,PIP and PIP2) in response to each agonist were different. Phosphoinositides labeling and the contractin induced by these amines were differently coupled with the influx of extracellular Ca^<++> influx. Receptor-mediated phosphoinositides breakdown was regulated by cyclic nucleotides ( cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP ). Phorbol esters such as TPA induced a sustained contraction of isolated rabbit aorta that was entirely dependent on intracellular Ca^<++>. TPA inhibited the endothelium dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine, but not the nitroglycerin-induced relaxation.
