| Abstract | 1. The involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in constriction of small bronchioles has never been investigated. In this study we have examined the effects of the specific PKC inhibitors Ro31-8220 and Ro31-7549 and the non-specific inhibitor H7 on carbachol-, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)- and 4 beta-phorbol dibutyrate (4 beta-PDBu)-induced contractions in large and small bronchioles. 2. The study was performed on isolated bronchioles of the rat with internal diameters of 574 microns +/- 11 (small, n = 128), and 1475 microns +/- 32 (large, n = 93), using a Mulvaney-Halpen small vessel myograph. 3. In these preparations 4 beta-PDBu had no effect if added on its own. However, after precontracting with 30 mM K+, 0.5 microM 4 beta-PDBu caused a contractile response of 110.4 +/- 7.0% TK (TK = maximum response to 75 mM K+ in small and 69.3 +/- 6.5% TK in large bronchioles. Ro31-8220, Ro31-7549 and H7 all showed concentration-dependent inhibition of this response. 4. In small bronchioles 10 microM Ro31-8220 shifted both the carbachol and 5-HT concentration-response curves to the right, and reduced the maximum response. In contrast, 10 microM Ro31-8220 had no significant effect on the EC50 to carbachol of larger bronchioles, although the maximum response was reduced, and had no significant effect on the 5-HT concentration-response curve. 200 microM H7 shifted the carbachol concentration--response curve to the right as well as reducing the maximal response in both small and large bronchioles. 5 Large bronchioles exhibited a greater rate of decay of carbachol-induced contraction than did small bronchioles. Pretreatment with Ro31-8220 accelerated the rate of decay.6 Pretreatment with 10 JM Ro3l-8220 caused a small reduction in the response to 75 mM K+ in both small and large bronchioles (small: to 87.8 +/- 3.0% TK; large: to 94.1 +/- 0.8% TK). H7 at 200 JM caused a much larger reduction in both preparations (small: to 75.1 +/- 3.0% TK); large: to 82.7 +/- 0.6% TK).7 Small bronchioles were more sensitive than larger bronchioles to agonists and phorbol ester. The protein kinase inhibitor Ro31-8220 could reduce agonist-induced constriction in small and large bronchioles,as well as reducing or abolishing phorbol ester-induced contractions. Small bronchioles were more sensitive than large bronchioles to Ro31-8220. These results suggest that there is a significant PKC involvement in constriction of bronchioles to carbachol and 5-HT, and that the proportion of the contractile response that can be attributed to PKC is greater in smaller than larger bronchioles. |

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.
