RESUMO
1. Secretion of [3H]acetylcholine was studied in the guinea-pig ileum longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation. The transmitter stores of the cholinergic nerves were labelled by pre-incubation with [3H]choline. The preparation was mounted in an organ bath and superfused with Tyrode solution containing hemicholinium-3 and eserine. [3H]Acetylcholine secretion was evoked by electrical stimulation (0.5 Hz, 150 shocks). 2. 8-Bromo cyclic AMP, the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin, and the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine enhanced the [3H]acetylcholine secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. The values of 'maximal enhancement' calculated were similar, viz. 200-300% of control. 3. 8-Bromo cyclic GMP reduced the [3H]acetylcholine secretion. 4. The 'maximal enhancement' of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine was not altered by the presence of forskolin (25 mumol/l) suggesting a common mechanism of action, i.e. elevation of endogenous cyclic AMP levels. 5. The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist atropine enhanced the [3H]acetylcholine secretion with a 'maximal enhancement' of 506% of control. Presence of neither forskolin (25 mumol/l) nor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (5 mmol/l) altered the 'maximal enhancement' for atropine. 6. In contrast, atropine (1 mumol/l) and 4-aminopyridine (0.5 mmol/l) additively enhanced the [3H]acetylcholine secretion. 7. The results suggest that neuronal cyclic AMP may be involved in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated control of [3H]acetylcholine secretion in guinea-pig ileum myenteric plexus.
