The mechanism underlying orexin-induced contraction was examined in isolated preparations of guinea pig ileum, in relation to cholinergic transmission. Orexin-A caused contraction of ileal strips in a concentration-dependent manner. 1-(2-Methylbenzoxazol-6-yl)-3-[1,5]napthyridin-4-yl-urea hydrochloride (SB-334867-A) antagonized the orexin-A-induced contraction, with no effects on the acetylcholine-induced contraction and twitch contractions. The orexin-A-induced contraction was inhibited by tetrodotoxin and atropine, but not by hexamethonium, an antagonist of vasoactive intestinal peptide and a mixture of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonists. Orexin-A evoked an outflow of [3H]acetylcholine from the ileal strips preincubated with [3H]choline, in a concentration-dependent manner, and the orexin-A-evoked outflow was inhibited by tetrodotoxin, indicating that the outflow of [3H]acetylcholine originates from the nerve terminals. The orexin-A-evoked outflow of [3H]acetylcholine was antagonized by SB-334867-A. Thus, orexin-A evokes the release of acetylcholine from the enteric cholinergic neurons due to stimulation of the orexin-1 receptors and then causes contractions of guinea pig ileum.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D008297 Male Males
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D009479 Neuropeptides Peptides released by NEURONS as intercellular messengers. Many neuropeptides are also hormones released by non-neuronal cells. Neuropeptide
D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.
