| Abstract | 1. The effects of addition of Cu2+ and chelation of Cu2+ were studied on relaxations in response to S-nitrosothiols and on relaxations to non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) nerve stimulation, nitric oxide (NO) and glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) in the rat gastric fundus. 2. The S-nitrosothiols S-nitroso-L-cysteine (NOCys, 1-300 nM), S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, 0.01-3 microM) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine (SNAP, 0.01-3 microM) induced concentration-dependent relaxations of the rat gastric fundus muscle strip. The relaxant potencies of the S-nitrosothiols were NOCys > SNAP > GSNO. Relaxations to NOCys were transient and comparable to those to NANC nerve stimulation and NO whereas relaxations to GSNO and SNAP were sustained. The relaxations to NOCys, GSNO and SNAP were significantly and concentration-dependently enhanced by CuSO4 (3-30 microM). The order of relaxant potency in the presence of CuSO4 was reversed to GSNO approximately SNAP > NOCys. 3. In the presence but not in the absence of 0.1 microM GSNO, CuSO4 (1 microM) induced a rapid and transient relaxation which was inhibited by the superoxide radical generator, pyrogallol (30 microM). CuCl2 but not FeSO4 mimicked the effect of CuSO4. 4. Electrical stimulation (0.5-8 Hz) of the rat gastric fundus strips induced frequency-dependent relaxations which were previously shown to be nitrergic in nature and which were not affected by CuSO4 (3-30 microM). Relaxations to NO (3-100 nM) and GTN (0.01-1 microM) were not affected by 3 and 10 microM CuSO4 but were inhibited by 30 microM CuSO4. 5. The Cu2+ chelator, bathocuproine (3-30 microM) significantly and concentration-dependently inhibited the relaxations to NOCys (0.01-3 microM), GSNO (0.01-10 microM) and SNAP (0.01-3 microM). The inhibitory effect of 10 microM bathocuproine was reversed by 3 microM CuSO4. 6. Bathocuproine (3-30 microM) had no effect on the relaxations to NANC nerve stimulation (0.5-8 Hz) or on the concentration-response curve to NO (0.01-0.3 microM), whereas relaxations to GTN (0.01-1 microM) were significantly inhibited by 30 microM bathocuproine. 7. From these results we conclude that relaxations to S-nitrosothiols and to nitrergic stimulation of the rat gastric fundus are differentially affected by addition and chelation of Cu2+, suggesting that the nitrergic NANC neurotransmitter in the rat gastric fundus is not an S-nitrosothiol but is more likely to be free nitric oxide. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
