Role of nitric oxide in lower esophageal sphincter relaxation to swallowing.

Abstract：

:Studies were performed in the opossum to define the role of the L-arginine-nitric oxide (NO) pathway in lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation to swallowing and vagal stimulation in viv and intramural nerve stimulation in vitro. In vivo, L-NAME, a water soluble NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, caused antagonism of LES relaxation due to reflex-induced swallowing. L-NAME (20 mg/kg i.v.) reduced the amplitude of swallow induced relaxation from 88% to 28%. LES relaxation due to electrical stimulation of peripheral end of decentralized vagus nerve was also antagonized. The effects of L-NAME were reversed by L-arginine, but not by D-arginine. L-NAME treatment did not antagonize LES relaxation to intravenous administration of isoproterenol. In vitro, NO and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) caused a decrease in the sphincter tone. The relaxing effect caused by NO and SNP was not antagonized by tetrodotoxin or omega-conotoxin. Inhibitors of NO synthase, L-NMMA and L-NNA, caused slight increase in the spontaneous resting LES tone and concentration-dependent antagonism of electrical field stimulation (EFS) induced LES relaxation. L-NNA (10(-4)M) abolished EFS induced LES relaxation at low frequencies (less than 5 Hz) and antagonized the relaxation to a value 20% of the control at 20 Hz. The antagonistic action of L-NMMA and L-NNA was unaffected by D-arginine but was reversed by L-arginine. The inhibitory effect of NO, SNP, or two other putative inhibitory neurotransmitters (VIP and CGRP) on the LES was not antagonized by L-NNA. These studies show that inhibitors of NO synthase selectively antagonize LES relaxation to all three modes of intramural inhibitory nerve stimulation including physiological swallowing. These studies suggest that the L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway is involved in physiological relaxation of the LES.
