Muscarinic cholinergic inhibition of adenylate cyclase in airway smooth muscle. 1987

The goal of our study was to test for an inhibitory effect of acetylcholine on adenylate cyclase activity in canine trachealis muscle. Therefore, cells were dispersed from the muscle enzymatically and lysed, and adenylate cyclase activity was assayed in a membrane suspension isolated from the lysates. Maximal beta-adrenergic stimulation, in the presence of GTP (10(-4) M), increased the activity of adenylate cyclase twofold above the activity induced by GTP alone. In the presence of GTP, acetylcholine (10(-4) M) decreased activity from 97 +/- 21 to 55 +/- 13 pmol cyclic AMP X min-1 X mg protein-1 (means +/- SE; n = 5; P less than 0.05); in the presence of GTP plus isoproterenol (10(-4) M), the acetylcholine-induced decreases were from 163 +/- 29 to 101 +/- 15 pmol cyclic AMP X min-1 X mg protein-1 (P less than 0.05). These decreases were dose dependent and they were altered by a series of cholinergic agents in a pattern consistent with a muscarinic effect. Our results suggest that one biochemical effect of vagal stimulation in the central airways of dogs may be attenuated adenylate cyclase activity in the smooth muscle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009116 Muscarine A toxic alkaloid found in Amanita muscaria (fly fungus) and other fungi of the Inocybe species. It is the first parasympathomimetic substance ever studied and causes profound parasympathetic activation that may end in convulsions and death. The specific antidote is atropine.
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.
