5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 0.01-100 microM) and 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT, 0.001-10 microM) produced dose-related relaxations in strips cut from monkey popliteal lymph nodes precontracted with a perfusion of Krebs bicarbonate solution containing 80 mM KCl. These 5-HT agonists caused no significant effect on the basal tone of the lymph node strips. The 5-HT-induced relaxation is competitively antagonized by pretreatment with a selective 5-HT1-like receptor antagonist, methiothepin (0.01-0.1 microM). Schild plot analysis showed that the pA2 value and slope of methiothepin against 5-HT were 8.80 +/- 0.11 and 0.99 +/- 0.07 (n = 6), respectively. Pretreatment with methysergide (0.01-0.1 microM) significantly attenuated the 5-HT-induced relaxation of the strips. On the other hand, treatment with ketanserin (0.01-0.1 microM) and ICS-205-930 (0.01-0.1 microM) caused no significant effect on the 5-HT-or the 5-CT-induced relaxation. The 5-HT-induced relaxation was significantly reduced by 10 microM NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, which was reversed by 1 mM L-arginine. The relaxation in the lymph node strips was also significantly reduced by treatment with 10 microM methylene blue but not with 30 microM aspirin. These results suggest that 5-HT1-like receptors exist in the monkey popliteal lymph nodes. Stimulation of these receptors produces an endogenous nitric oxide (NO)-dependent relaxation in lymph node smooth muscle through an activation of cytosolic guanylate cyclase in the cells.

Stimulation of capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves induces gastric mucosal hyperemia, which is mediated in part by both calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nitric oxide (NO). In the present study, we used in vivo microscopy in anesthetized rats to determine 1) whether these agents were released locally at the submucosal level and, if so, 2) whether CGRP dilates arterioles via release of endothelium-derived NO. Intragastric capsaicin (160 microM) dilated submucosal arterioles from 25 +/- 3 to 67 +/- 8 microns. The intragastric capsaicin-induced vasodilation was markedly reversed not only by intravenous administration of the NO synthesis inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) but also by submucosal suffusion of either L-NAME or the CGRP receptor antagonist human CGRP-(8-37). The latter findings indicate that both NO and CGRP are released locally at the submucosal level. Submucosal application of CGRP induced dose-dependent dilation of gastric submucosal arterioles, which was significantly attenuated by L-NAME. However, at the same degree of vasodilation (42 microns), the dilation induced with submucosal CGRP was much less attenuated by NO synthesis inhibition (-28%) compared with that induced with intragastric capsaicin (-79%). This indicates that endothelium-derived NO released by CGRP was not the only source of submucosal NO in the latter response. There must be another as yet undetermined source of submucosal NO, e.g., possibly nitroxidergic nerves.

Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that renal arteriolar vasoconstrictor responses to angiotensin II (ANG II) are curtailed through a mechanism that involves stimulation of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. The in vitro blood-perfused juxtamedullary nephron technique was exploited to monitor arteriolar lumen diameter responses to exogenous ANG II before and during treatment with the NO synthase inhibitor N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA). Under control conditions, 1 nM ANG II reduced afferent and efferent arteriolar diameters by 13 and 11%, respectively. In the presence of L-NNA, 1 nM ANG II decreased afferent diameter by 26% and efferent diameter by 35%. This augmentation could not be attributed to the L-NNA-induced decrease in baseline diameter. L-NNA also augmented vasopressin responses, indicating a lack of agonist specificity in this interaction. ANG II reactivity during L-NNA treatment was not enhanced when tissue NO activity was fixed at basal levels (exposure to 1 microM sodium nitroprusside). These results indicate that endogenous NO modulates the vasoconstrictive impact of ANG II on both afferent and efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary nephrons and that this process does not require stimulation of NO synthesis.
