pubmed:abstractText |
Normal human lymphocytes (L) (8 X 10(5) ml-1) incubated with methoxamine (Me) (1 X 10(-7) M) (Me-L) triggered the mechanical response of the isolated vas deferens of the rat. L or Me alone did not modify this contractile activity at the concentrations cited above. Me alone (10(-6) to 10(-3) M) increased the tension of the vas. In the presence of L (8 X 10(5) ml-1) the dose-response curve to Me shifted to the left and the efficacy of Me was enhanced. Inhibitors of alpha 1-adrenoceptors completely blocked the reaction between Me and L while drugs that block alpha 1 and alpha 2-adrenoceptors reduced the reaction between Me-L and the vas deferens. Direct contact of Me-L with the assay organ was not necessary. Cell-free supernatants of L exposed to Me (Me-L supernatants) elicited the reaction in the same way as Me-L. This effect required the continuous presence of Me since dialyzed Me-L supernatants were inactive. Inhibitors of lipoxygenase(s) completely blocked the positive inotropic effect of Me-L or of Me-L supernatants. Inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase potentiated this effect. These results suggest that Me reacts with alpha 1-adrenoceptors of L. From this reaction, soluble factors are released that potentiate the alpha-adrenoceptor stimulatory effect of Me on the vas deferens as a consequence of the release of oxidative products of the lipoxygenase/s pathway of arachidonic acid.
