The release of tachykinins from isolated slice preparations of the guinea-pig spinal cord and ureter was studied in vitro. Capsaicin (10 .mu.M) caused release of substance P, neurokinin A and an eledoisin-like component from both the spinal cord and ureter. The release of tachykinins induced by capsaicin or potassium (60 mM) was calcium dependent. No detectable release of neurokinin B or neuropeptide K, an N-terminally extended form of neurokinin A, was induced by capsaicin. No detectable release of tachykinins could be demonstrated after exposure to agents which are known to activate C-fibre afferents, such as histamine, bradykinin, serotonin, prostaglandins E1, E2 or acetylcholine. Protein extravasation in ureter, as determined by the Evans Blue extravasation technique was used as a functional correlate to the tachykinin release. Protein extravasation was induced in vivo by local intraluminal injections of capsaicin at several hundred-fold lower concentrations than those required to induce a detectable release of tachykinins in vitro. The differences may, however, partly depend on the experimental conditions and the detection limit of the tachykinin assay used. The protein extravasation response to capsaicin was absent after systemic capsaicin pretreatment, which causes a marked depletion of tachykinins in the ureter. In conclusion, capsaicin evokes release of several tachykinins from both central and peripheral endings of primary afferent neurons. The peptides released from sensory nerves in the periphery may induce effects such as protein extravasation and smooth muscle contraction.
