Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) Induces Strong Mechanical Activities Accompanied by Basal Tension Increases in Esophageal and Gastric Fundus Smooth Muscles from Rat.
In rats, platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been reported to increase mechanical activity in various gastrointestinal smooth muscles (SMs) except for esophagus SM. The aim of this study was to examine whether PAF increases mechanical activity in rat esophagus longitudinal SM (LSM) and to compare PAF actions in esophagus LSM with those in other gastrointestinal LSMs. PAF (10-9-10-6 M) increased esophagus LSM mechanical activities in a concentration-dependent manner; PAF mainly elicited basal tension increases that were almost eliminated by a PAF receptor antagonist CV-6209 (10-5 M; against 10-6 M PAF). In the LSM of the gastric fundus, which is similar to esophagus LSM in that it is derived from the foregut during development, PAF (10-6 M) increased basal tension to a comparable, albeit significantly different, magnitude as in esophagus LSM. In contrast, in LSMs of the duodenum-jejunum, ileum, and ascending colon, which are derived from the midgut, and the descending colon, which is derived from the hindgut, the ability of PAF (10-6 M) to increase basal tension was less than that in esophagus and gastric fundus LSMs. Interestingly, in ascending colon LSMs, PAF (10-6 M) induced oscillatory contractions with a small increase in basal tension. PAF-induced contractions were positively correlated with the mRNA expression levels of the PAF-degrading enzymes Pafah2 (R = 0.82) and Pafah1b3 (R = 0.51). These results suggest that PAF strongly stimulates mechanical activities that are mainly accompanied by basal tension increases in rat LSMs of the gastrointestinal tracts that are derived from the foregut during embryogenesis.
期刊介绍:
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. A fourth Society journal, the Journal of Health Science, was merged with Biol. Pharm. Bull. in 2012.
The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, information exchange, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.
