Abstract：
:Induction of endogenous superoxide anion stress by the use of the superoxide dismutase inhibitor diethylthiocarbamate (DETCA; 10 mmol/l) produced a potent inhibition of the ATP (0.3-10 mmol/l) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AP(4)A) contractile activity in the isolated vas deferens by 29-92 and 24-90%, respectively. Pyrogallol (0.1 mmol/l), the exogenous superoxide anion generator, produced a significant inhibition on the contractile activity of the vas deferens induced by ATP and AP(4)A by 33-89 and 25-82%, respectively. DETCA (10 mmol/l) and pyrogallol (0.1 mmol/l) attenuated the contractile response of isolated guinea pig vas deferens strips to the selective P2X agonist alpha,beta-methyleneATP (alpha,beta-meATP; 50 micromol/l) by 25 and 47%, respectively. In Ca(2+)-free high-K(+) (80 mmol/l) Krebs solution, pyrogallol and DETCA produced inhibition of the contractile response to alpha,beta-meATP (50 micromol/l) in similar way to that in normal Krebs solution. The further addition of CaCl(2) (1 mmol/l) abolished the inhibitory effects exerted by pyrogallol and DETCA. The control contractile response to alpha,beta-meATP (50 micromol/l) was not affected in Ca(2+)-free high-K(+) (80 mmol/l) Krebs solution. It may be concluded that superoxide anion stress produces a significant inhibitory effect on both mono- and di-nucleotide purinergic contraction of the vas deferens. Superoxide anion appears to interrupt the P2X(1)-mediated transduction cascade at some step(s) of intracellular calcium handling.
