title: Dependency of detrusor contractions on calcium sensitization and calcium entry through LOE-908-sensitive channels.
abstract: 1. The subcellular mechanisms regulating stimulus-contraction coupling in detrusor remain to be determined. We used Ca(2+)-free solutions, Ca(2+) channel blockers, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), and RhoA kinase (ROK) inhibitors to test the hypothesis that Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) sensitization play primary roles. 2. In rabbit detrusor, peak bethanechol (BE)-induced force was inhibited 90% by incubation for 3 min in a Ca(2+)-free solution. By comparison, a 20 min incubation of rabbit femoral artery in a Ca(2+)-free solution reduced receptor-induced force by only 5%. 3. In detrusor, inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) Ca(2+) release by 2APB, or depletion of SR Ca(2+) by CPA, inhibited BE-induced force by only 27%. The CPA-insensitive force was abolished by LaCl3. By comparison, 2APB inhibited receptor-induced force in rabbit femoral artery by 71%. 4. In the presence of the non-selective cation channel (NSCC) inhibitor, LOE-908, BE did not produce an increase in [Ca(2+)]i but did produce weak increases in myosin phosphorylation and force. 5. Inhibitors of ROK-induced Ca(2+) sensitization, HA-1077 and Y-27632, inhibited BE-induced force by approximately 50%, and in combination with LOE-908, nearly abolished force. 6. These data suggest that two principal muscarinic receptor-stimulated detrusor contractile mechanisms include NSCC activation, that elevates [Ca(2+)]i and ROK activation, that sensitizes cross bridges to Ca(2+).
