Abstract:
:Previously we have demonstrated the presence of presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the terminals of myenteric neurons in Auerbach's plexus of guinea-pig ileum. During these studies we observed, that the presence of hemicholinium-3, an inhibitor of the high affinity choline uptake significantly influences the contraction of the longitudinal muscle strip preparation. Our aim was to investigate the neurochemical background of this effect and quantitatively characterize the action of HC-3. We studied the effect of HC-3 on epibatidine- and electrical stimulation-evoked contraction and release of [3H]acetylcholine from the guinea-pig longitudinal muscle strip preparation. We found that in the presence of tetrodotoxin, when the contribution of somatodendritic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to the response was prevented due to the inhibition of axonal conduction, HC-3 inhibited the epibatidine-evoked contraction and [3H]acetylcholine release in the submicromolar range (IC50 = 897 nM and IC50 = 693 nM, respectively), whereas the electrical stimulation-evoked contraction was not affected by HC-3, and the release of [3H]acetylcholine was apparently enhanced. Our data indicate that HC-3 inhibits the presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of myenteric neurons. Since these receptors play an important role in the regulation of cholinergic neurotransmission in the enteric nervous system, the use of HC-3 in [3H]acetylcholine release experiments might bias the interpretation of data.
