Participation of neuropeptides in antigen-induced contraction of guinea pig bronchi via NK(2) but not NK(1) receptor stimulation.

Abstract:

:We evaluated the contribution of neuropeptides to antigen-induced contractions of isolated bronchi and tracheae of passively sensitized guinea pigs using CP-96345 and SR 48968, specific antagonists of NK(1) and NK(2) receptors, respectively, in combination with treatment by an antihistaminic and a cysteinyl leukotriene antagonist. SR-48968 but not CP-96345, significantly inhibited the late phase of the bronchial contraction. Phosphoramidon, a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, tended to potentiate bronchial contraction. Posttreatment with SR-48968 decreased the enhanced contraction induced by the inhibitor as well as the nonenhanced contraction to similar levels of tension. On the other hand, antigen-induced tracheal contraction was not altered by either neuropeptide antagonist. These results suggest that neuropeptides mediate the antigen-induced contractile response of the guinea pig bronchus partly through NK(2) receptor stimulation.
