Abstract

1. The release of calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) from the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord in vitro in response to dorsal root stimulation was measured by radioimmunoassay. 2. Stimulation of the dorsal roots (3 or 4 roots on each side) at 10 Hz for 5 min evoked a mean release (R1) of 134.3 +/- 17.5 (n = 10) fmol CGRP-LI; the release (R2) evoked by a second stimulation period 30 min later under control conditions was 77 +/- 10% (n = 10) of R1. Test compounds were applied to the preparation following release R1, and their effect calculated from the value of R2/R1. 3. Bradykinin (0.01-10 microM) had no significant effect on the basal release of CGRP-LI, but at 0.1-10 microM it increased 2-3 fold the release evoked by dorsal root stimulation. 4. This effect of bradykinin was prevented by indomethacin (10 microM), or by the B2-receptor antagonist, Hoe140 (1-10 microM). In the presence of Hoe140, bradykinin significantly reduced R2/R1; the explanation for this is not clear. 5. The B1-receptor agonist, Des-Arg9-bradykinin (10 microM), did not affect CGRP-LI release nor was the effect of bradykinin blocked by the B1-receptor antagonist, Des-Arg9-Leu8-bradykinin (10 microM). 6. Various prostaglandins were found to mimic the effect of bradykinin on CGRP-LI release. Their approximate order of potency was prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) = PGE1 > PGF2 alpha = PGE2; PGI2 was ineffective at 10 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
