Abstract:
:Muscarinic receptors on epithelial cells mediate intestinal secretion, while those in intestinal smooth muscle mediate motility. Experiments were carried out to determine whether the muscarinic receptors mediating each of these two functions in intestinal tissue might be associated with differences in the way agonist and antagonist drugs interact with the receptors. The inhibition constant (Kj) values for atropine, pirenzepine, and oxotremorine competition of specifically bound (3H)QNB were determined using membrane preparations from the muscular coat and from epithelial cells of rat jejunum, ileum, and colon. The Kj values of atropine were similar (1.2-10 nM) when comparing muscle layers and epithelial cells from any intestinal region. In contrast, the Kj values for pirenzepine were significantly higher in membranes from the musculature (400-1,200 nM) than in any of the epithelial cell membranes (20-100 nM). Kj values for pirenzepine in gut muscle were similar to those in heart (300 nM), whereas the Kj values in the cerebral cortex (39 nM) and the epithelial cell membranes closely approximated one another. The Kj values for oxotremorine competition of QNB binding in all intestinal muscular tissues (29-48 nM) and in heart (16 nM) were less than those of the intestinal epithelial cells (100-1,300 nM) or cerebral cortex (71 nM). Thus, pirenzepine and oxotremorine binding studies show that the nature of interactions between these agents and muscarinic sites is different when comparing epithelial cells and musculature of the gut.
