We previously reported that urotensin II induced biphasic (brief- and long-lasting) contractions and the brief contraction was mediated by acetylcholine release from ganglionic cholinergic neurons in a segment of guinea-pig ileum. In present work, we studied the mechanism contributing to long-lasting contractions induced by urotensin II. Treatment with 0.1 muM tetrodotoxin. 300 nM omega-conotoxin GVIA (an inhibitor of N-type Ca2+ channels) and 10 muM indomethacin (an inhibitor of cyclooxygenases) markedly inhibited 100 nM urotensin II-induced long-lasting contractions. The addition of 1 muM prostaglandin F-2alpha (PGF(2alpha)) caused a limited brief contraction following long-lasting, contraction. while 1 muM PGE(2) induced marked biphasic contractions. Treatment with neurotoxins inhibited the long-lasting, contractions induced by PGF(2alpha) and PGE(2) without changing the PGE(2)-induced brief contractions. Treatment with 1 mum atropine markedly inhibited the urotensin II- and PGF(2alpha) -induced long-lasting contractions, but was less effective on the PGE(2) responses. Treatment with a phospholipase A(2) inhibitor decreased the urotensin II-induced contractions. These findings suggest that urotensin II induces at least partiaily long-lasting contractions via PG-sensitive cholinergic neurons and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the ileum.
