Contractile and relaxant effects of phorbol ester in the intestinal smooth muscle of guinea-pig taenia caeci.

Abstract：

:1. Effects of phorbol esters on the cytosolic Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) and muscle tension in the intestinal smooth muscle of guinea-pig taenia caeci were examined. 2. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate (DPB, 1 microM) did not change the [Ca2+]i and tension in resting muscle. 3. In high K(+)-stimulated muscle, 1 microM DPB transiently augmented the contraction and decreased [Ca2+]i. 12-Deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate 20-acetate (1 microM) and phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (1 microM) showed similar effects to DPB whereas phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (1 microM) and phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate (1 microM) were ineffective. 4. DPB (1 microM) inhibited both [Ca2+]i and tension stimulated by 300 nM carbachol or 3 microM histamine. In the presence of a higher concentration of carbachol (1 microM), DPB decreased [Ca2+]i and transiently increased muscle tension. 5. In the muscle strips permeabilized with bacterial alpha-toxin, 1 microM DPB shifted the Ca(2+)-tension curve to the left. An inhibitor of protein kinase C, H-7 (30 microM), inhibited the effect of DPB. 6. DPB did not change the high K(+)-induced contraction in the muscle strips pretreated with 3 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate for 24 h. 7. These results suggest that activation of protein kinase C has dual effects; it augments contraction by increasing the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile elements and it inhibits contraction by decreasing [Ca2+]i.
