Influence of prostaglandins and ketoprofen on contractile responses of human and pig detrusor and trigone muscles in vitro.
Detrusor and trigone smooth muscle from pig and man were investigated in vitro. The strips were adjusted to a tension of 1 g. During the first hour detrusor strips relaxed and had to be lengthened repeatedly to maintain tension. The tension of strips from the trigone increased spontaneously during this initial period of recovery and accommodation. Detrusor contractions evoked by transmural electric field stimulation, carbachol, histamine and Ca++ were reduced by ketoprofen (an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis), while contractions evoked in trigone strips were augmented by ketoprofen. PGE2 10 nM reversed the effect of prostaglandin synthesis antagonism, augmenting the reduced detrusor response and reducing the augmented trigone response. PGF2 alpha augmented evoked contractions in strips from all regions. Activation of endogenous prostaglandin production can not explain the strip behavior during recovery. After recovery, synthesis of the E-type of prostaglandins seem to dominate over the F-type of prostaglandins, since annulment of the E-type of prostaglandins explains best the alterations of evoked contractions following prostaglandin synthesis antagonism.
