1 The mechanisms of vasorelaxation induced by papaverine were investigated using front-surface fluorometry and fura-2-loaded medial strips of the pig coronary artery. 2 In the presence of extracellular Ca2+ (1.25x10(-3)M), histamine (10(-4)M) induced abrupt elevations of cytosolic calcium concentration, [Ca2+](i) reaching a peak within 12s (the first phase); after making a slight shoulder, [Ca2+](i) declined gradually to reach sustained levels (the second phase). Force rapidly rose to reach maximum levels in 3 min, then gradually declined. Papaverine (10(-7)-10(-5)M) inhibited both the first and the second phases of [Ca2+](i) elevation and the development of force induced by histamine, in a concentration-dependent manner. 3 In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, histamine (10(-4)M ) induced a transient increase in [Ca2+](i) and force, both of which were inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by papaverine (10(-7)-10(-5)M). When papaverine was washed out, a second application of 10(-4)M histamine also induced transient increases in [Ca2+](i) and force. The smaller the first response, the greater was the second response. The total amount of [Ca2+](i) released from intracellular stores by the first and second application of histamine in the presence of papaverine was smaller than in its absence, thereby indicating a reduction of Ca2+ in the histamine-sensitive store. However, while papaverine (10(-5)M) did not affect the transient increase in [Ca2+](i) induced by 2x10(-2)M caffeine, contractions were inhibited. 4 For a given level of [Ca2+](i), the force developed with the cumulative application of histamine (10(-7)M-10(-4)M) was greater than that observed with the cumulative application of extracellular Ca2+ (0-7.5x10(-3)M) during high K+ depolarization. Papaverine (10(-7)M-10(-5)M) suppressed, in a concentration-dependent manner, the increase in [Ca2+](i) and the force induced by cumulative applications of both histamine and extracellular Ca2+ during high K+ depolarization. The [Ca2+](i)-force curve obtained by depolarization with K+, but not that obtained during histamine application, was shifted to the right by papaverine. Diltiazem, 10(-7)M, a concentration causing a similar degree of relaxation to 10(-5)M papaverine, did not shift the [Ca2+](i)-force curve obtained with high K+. Nitroglycerin (10(-6)M) and isoprenaline (10(-6)M) shifted the [Ca2+](i)-force curve to the right to a greater extent than did 10(-5)M papaverine. 5 These findings suggest that papaverine relaxes medial strips of the porcine coronary artery by two mechanisms. The first is mainly due to a decrease in [Ca2+](i), not only through inhibiting Ca2+ influx through either voltage-dependent or receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, but also by inhibiting agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ release. This occurs presumably by interference with the signal transduction pathway for histamine and by a depletion of Ca2+ in histamine-sensitive stores. Secondly, the [Ca2+](i)-sensitivity of certain contractile mechanisms may be minimally decreased.
