1 Inhalation of vanadium compounds, particularly vanadate, is a cause of occupational bronchial asthma. We have now studied the action of vanadate on human isolated bronchus. Vanadate (0.1 mu M-3 mM) produced concentration-dependent, well-sustained contraction. Its -logEC(50) was 3.74 +/- 0.05 (mean +/- s.e. mean) and its maximal effect was equivalent to 97.5 +/- 4.2% of the response to acetylcholine (ACh, 1 mM).2 Vanadate (200 mu M)-induced contraction of human bronchus was epithelium-independent and was not inhibited by indomethacin (2.8 mu M), zileuton (10 mu M), a mixture of atropine, mepyramine and phentolamine (each at 1 mu M), or by mast cell degranulation with compound 48/80.3 Vanadate (200 mu M)-induced contraction was unaltered by tissue exposure to verapamil or nifedipine (each 1 mu M) or to a Ca2+-free, EGTA (0.1 mM)-containing physiological salt solution (PSS). However, tissue incubation with ryanodine (10 mu M) in Ca2+-free, EGTA (0.1 mM)-containing PSS reduced vanadate-induced contraction. A series of vanadate challenges was made in tissues exposed to Ca2+-free EGTA (0.1 mM)-containing PSS with the object of depleting intracellular Ca2+ stores. In such tissues cyclopiazonic acid (CPA; 10 mu M) prevented Ca2+-induced recovery of vanadate-induced contraction.4 Tissue incubation in K+-rich (80 mM) PSS, K+-free PSS, or PSS containing ouabain (10 mu M) did not alter vanadate (200 mu M)-induced contraction. Ouabain (10 mu M) abolished the K+-induced relaxation of human bronchus bathed in K+-free PSS. This action was not shared by vanadate (200 mu M). The tissue content of Na+ was increased and the tissue content of K+ was decreased by ouabain (10 mu M). In contrast, vanadate (200 mu M) did not alter the tissue content of these ions. Tissue incubation in a Na+-deficient (25 mM) PSS or in PSS containing amiloride (0.1 mM) markedly inhibited the spasmogenic effect of vanadate (200 mu M).5 Vanadate (200 mu M)-induced contractions were markedly reduced by tissue treatment with each of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors H-7 (10 mu M), staurosporine (1 mu M) and calphostin C (1 mu M). Genistein (100 mu M), an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase, also reduced the response to vanadate.6 Vanadate (0.1-3 mM) and ACh (1 mu M-3 mM) each increased inositol phosphate accumulation in bronchus. Such responses were unaffected by a Ca2+-free medium either alone or in combination with ryanodine (10 mu M).7 In human cultured tracheal smooth muscle cells, histamine (100 mu M) and vanadate (200 mu M) each produced a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)).8 Intracellular microelectrode recording showed that the contractile effect of vanadate (200 mu M) in human bronchus was associated with cellular depolarization.9 It is concluded that vanadate acts directly on human bronchial smooth muscle, promoting the release of Ca2+ from an intracellular store. The Ca2+ release mechanism involves both the production of inositol phosphate second messengers and inhibition of Ca-ATPase. The activation of PKC plays an important role in mediating vanadate-induced contraction at values of [Ca2+](i) that are close to basal.
