Smooth muscle cells from the gastric antrum of the rabbit were isolated using collagenase and pronase. We examined the characteristics of muscarinic receptors that control contraction of the muscle cell: kinetics, stoichiometry and specificity of both contractile response to muscarinic agents and binding of labeled N-methyl-scopolamine. Cells contracted in the presence of muscarinic agents after a short time (30 sec) while binding of (3H)-NMS reached a plateau after 10 min exposure. Specific binding was saturable and Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of high-affinity binding sites (Kd: 0.5 nM). Oxotremorine was the most potent agonist with an ED50 of 0.6 pM; acetylcholine and carbachol were 10 times less potent. Muscarinic antagonists competed with (3H)-NMS for binding with IC50 values in the same range (nanomolar or less) than those obtained for inhibition of acetylcholine-induced contractions. Pirenzepine antagonized contractile effect of muscarinic agonists with EC50 in a micromolar range. Intracellular levels of cyclic AMP were lowered by muscarinic agonists. Monoclonal anti-muscarinic receptor antibodies M-35 displayed agonist-like activities triggering contraction and lowering cyclic AMP levels of the cells. However, although the antagonist inhibits M-35-induced contractions and cAMP decrease, M-35 had no effect on binding of the antagonist to the muscarinic receptor. These data revealed the presence of an M2-muscarinic receptor subtype involved in the contractile response of the isolated smooth muscle cell.
