Contrasting effects of tachykinins and guanethidine on the acetylcholine output stimulated by nicotine from guinea-pig bladder [corrected].

1. Contractile responses and acetylcholine release evoked by nicotine in guinea-pig detrusor strips were determined by isotonic transducer and radioimmunoassay, respectively. Nicotine stimulated acetylcholine release and a contractile response in guinea-pig detrusor strips treated with the cholinesterase inhibitor, methanesulphonyl fluoride (MSF). Both actions evoked by nicotine were antagonized by the nicotinic receptor antagonist, hexamethonium but were insensitive to tetrodotoxin. 2. A sympathetic nerve blocker, guanethidine and a tachykinin antagonist, [D-Arg1, D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9, Leu11]-substance P (rpwwL-SP) partially inhibited the acetylcholine release evoked by nicotine to much the same degree. The inhibitory effects of guanethidine and rpwwL-SP on acetylcholine release were significantly greater than corresponding effects on the contraction evoked by nicotine. 3. In preparations treated with rpwwL-SP to block the tachykinin receptors, guanethidine had no effect on the response to nicotine. Conversely, after treatment with guanethidine to block release of a mediator from sympathetic nerve endings, nicotine-induced responses were not affected by rpwwL-SP. 4. Nicotine-induced contraction was reduced to 30% by the muscarinic cholinoceptor antagonist, atropine and completely abolished after desensitization of P2-purinoceptors with alpha,beta-methylene ATP in the presence of atropine. 5. A concentration-contractile response curve to neurokinin A (NKA) was shifted to the left after cholinesterase inhibition with MSF. Atropine abolished the facilitatory effect of MSF and partially inhibited contractions induced by NKA at 100 nM to 1 microM. The contractile responses to substance P methyl ester (SPOMe) and Tyr0-neurokinin B (Tyr0-NKB) were not influenced by MSF or atropine. 6. After desensitization of NK, tachykinin receptors with SPOMe or preincubation with senktide, the cholinergic component of the nicotine-induced contraction was the same as the control value (100%). 7. Our findings give further support to our previous results: nicotine stimulates acetylcholine release in a tetrodotoxin-resistant manner in guinea-pig bladder and acetylcholine release evoked by nicotine is increased by the coordinated action of sympathetic nerves and tachykinin(s). It is suggested that the tachykinin receptor subtype involved in acetylcholine release is NK,.
