ryanodine and tiotidine

We have studied the Ca(2+)-dependence and wortmannin-sensitivity of the initial inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) response induced by activation of either histamine or muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle from guinea pig urinary bladder. Activation of H(1) receptors with histamine (100 microM) produced a significant elevation in Ins(1,4,5)P(3) levels with only 5s stimulation and in the presence of external Ca(2+). However, this response was abolished fully by either the prolonged absence of external Ca(2+) or the depletion of internal Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin (100nM) or ryanodine (10 microM). In contrast, the same conditions only slightly reduced the initial Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response induced by carbachol. The prolonged incubation of smooth muscle in 10 microM wortmannin to inhibit type III PI 4-kinase abolished both the early histamine-evoked Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and Ca(2+) responses. Conversely, wortmannin did not alter Ca(2+) release induced by carbachol, despite a partial reduction of its Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response. Collectively, these data indicate that the detectable histamine-induced increase in Ins(1,4,5)P(3) is more the consequence of Ca(2+) release from internal stores than a direct activation of phospholipase C by H(1) receptors. In addition, the effect of wortmannin implies the existence of a Ca(2+)-dependent amplification loop for the histamine-induced Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response in smooth muscle.
