Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is released from eosinophils and fibroblasts, may be implicated in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma. To examine the involvement of airway inflammation in adrenergic desensitization, the present study was designed to determine whether pre-exposure to PDGF deteriorates P-adrenoceptor function in airway smooth muscle. We focused on Ca2+ signaling as an intracellular mechanism involved in this phenomenon. Isometric tension and F-340/F-380 (an indicator of intracellular Ca2+ concentration) induced by isoprenaline and other cAMP-related agents were simultaneously measured before and after exposure to PDGF in fura-2-loaded guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle. Indomethacin was applied throughout the experiments to abolish prostaglandin synthesis by PDGF. After exposure of the tissues to 10 ng/ml PDGF for 15 min, the effects of isoprenaline, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, and forskolin, a direct inhibitor of adenylyl cyclase, against methacholine-induced contraction were markedly reduced with increasing F340/F380. However, in the presence of verapamil, an inhibitor of voltage-de pendent Ca2+ channels, the reduced responsiveness to isoprenaline and forskolin induced by pre-exposure to PDGF was reversed with reducing F-340/F-380. Reduced responsiveness to isoprenaline by PDGF was also not observed in the presence of Ca2+-free solution. The inhibitory effects of db-cAMP, an analogue of cAMP, and theophylline, a nonselective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase, were not attenuated by PDGF. In conclusion, pre-exposure to PDGF causes impairment of the beta-adrenoceptors/adenylyl cyclase processes in airway smooth muscle that is independent of cyclooxygenase synthesis by PDGF. Ca2+ mobilization by Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels is involved in this heterologous desensitization of beta-adrenoceptors. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
