The effects of endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) on guinea‐pig lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) circular smooth muscle were investigated by using intracellular microelectrodes and isometric tension recording techniques.
ET‐1 produced biphasic mechanical responses; an initial transient relaxation followed by a sustained contraction. The initial relaxation was not inhibited by either tetrodotoxin (TTX, 1 μM) or L‐NG‐nitroarginine (L‐NOARG, 100 μM). The sustained contraction was greatly attenuated by nifedipine (1 μM).
ET‐1 (1 – 30 nM) induced a concentration‐dependent hyperpolarisation that was unaffected by TTX or L‐NOARG. The ETA receptor antagonist, BQ123 (0.3 μM) abolished the ET‐1‐induced hyperpolarisation, whereas the ETB receptor antagonist, BQ788 (0.3 μM) had no detectable effect. Sarafotoxin S6c (10 nM) did not change the membrane potential.
The ET‐1‐induced hyperpolarisation was abolished by apamin (0.1 μM). Interestingly, apamin abolished the ET‐1‐induced transient relaxation but potentiated the sustained contraction.
In Ca2+‐free Krebs solution, the ET‐1‐induced hyperpolarisation was greatly attenuated and returned to the control value when the tissue was reperfused with Krebs solution containing Ca2+. The ET‐1‐induced hyperpolarisation was insensitive to nifedipine but was attenuated by SK&F 96365 (1 ‐ β‐[3‐(4 ‐ methoxy ‐ phenyl)propoxy] ‐ 4 ‐ methoxyphenethyl} ‐ 1H‐imidazole hydrochloride, 50 μM), an inhibitor of receptor‐mediated Ca2+ entry. The residual component of the ET‐1‐induced hyperpolarisation was sensitive to thapsigargin (1 μM).
These results demonstrate that, in guinea‐pig LOS circular smooth muscle, ET‐1 hyperpolarizes the membrane by activating apamin‐sensitive K+ channels, mainly as a result of receptor‐mediated Ca2+ entry and partly by Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The hyperpolarisation triggers the initial transient relaxation, which acts to oppose the sustained contraction.

研究了内皮素-1 (ET-1)对豚鼠下食管括约肌 (LOS)环形平滑肌的影响,采用细胞内微电极和等张张力记录技术。ET-1引起双相机械反应:初始的短暂松弛,随后是持续的收缩。初始松弛不受河豚毒素 (TTX, 1 μM) 或 L-NG-硝基精氨酸 (L-NOARG, 100 μM) 抑制。持续性收缩则显著减弱于尼非地平 (1 μM)。ET-1 (1–30 nM) 诱导浓度依赖性的超极化,不受 TTX 或 L-NOARG 影响。ETA受体拮抗剂 BQ123 (0.3 μM) 消除了 ET-1 诱导的超极化,而 ETB受体拮抗剂 BQ788 (0.3 μM)则无明显影响。Sarafotoxin S6c (10 nM)未改变膜电位。ET-1 诱导的超极化被阿帕霉素 (0.1 μM) 消除。有趣的是,阿帕霉素不仅消除了 ET-1诱导的短暂松弛,还增强了持续性收缩。在无 Ca2+的 Krebs 溶液中,ET-1 诱导的超极化显著减弱,当组织再次用含 Ca2+的 Krebs 溶液灌注时,超极化恢复到对照值。ET-1 诱导的超极化对尼非地平不敏感,但对受体介导 Ca2+内流的抑制剂 SK&F 96365 (50 μM) 敏感。ET-1 诱导的超极化的残留部分对 Thapsigargin (1 μM) 敏感。这些结果表明,在豚鼠 LOS 环形平滑肌中,ET-1 通过激活阿帕霉素敏感的 K+通道引起膜超极化,主要是由于受体介导的 Ca2+内流,部分由内源性 Ca2+库的释放引起。此次超极化触发了初始的短暂松弛,这作用于抑制持续性收缩。
