Regulation of the substance P-induced contraction via the release of acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the guinea-pig urinary bladder.

Abstract:

:1. The action of substance P (SP) on the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine (ACh) and on contraction were studied in strips of the guinea-pig urinary bladder. Substance P induced a dose-dependent contraction of strips of guinea-pig urinary bladder (EC50 = 1.2 x 10(-9) M). This contraction was not altered by tetrodotoxin, but with a dose of 10(-9) M and less, there was a complete inhibition by 10(-6) M) atropine. Contractions initiated by 3 x 10(-9) M) SP or more were partly inhibited by atropine. The EC50 value of substance P in the presence of atropine was 7.0 x 10(-9) M. 2. Substance P induced a Ca2+-dependent and tetrodotoxin-resistant release of [3H]-acetylcholine (ACh) from strips of urinary bladder preloaded with [3H]-choline (EC50 = 4.9 x 10(-10) M), and this release was antagonized by [D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9] substance P. 3. Bicuculline increased the substance P-induced contraction and the release of [3H]-ACh from the strips. 4. Substance P induced a Ca2+-dependent and tetrodotoxin-sensitive release of [3H]-gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from strips preloaded with [3H]-GABA (EC50 = 2.6 x 10(-9) M), and this release was antagonized by [D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9] substance P. 5. Therefore, substance P appears to exert excitatory effects on the contractility of urinary bladder predominantly by stimulating its own receptor located on the cholinergic nerve terminals. GABA released by substance P inhibits stimulation of the cholinergic neurone. However, the direct action of substance P on the cholinergic neurone is more potent that the indirect action via GABA release.
