摘要
We have investigated the effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) contraction in guinea-pig bronchial strips. PGE1 (10 nM to 10 μM) did not alter baseline tension but reduced NANC contractions induced by electrical field stimulation (EFS) in a concentration-dependent fashion (-log EC50 was 6.60 ± 0.10 M and maximum inhibition was 88.7 ± 2.9%). PGE1 (>0.3 μM) also reduced the contraction induced by substance P (1 μM). Removal of epithelium did not alter the effects of PGE1 on NANC contraction. These results suggest that PGE1 exerts both pre- and post-junctional inhibitory actions on NANC contraction.
