Effect of tiotropium on capsaicin- and acrolein-induced [Ca2+]i in primary airway guinea pig ganglion cells. Airway-specific neurons were chosen by using the Dil stain as a marker; an example is shown in (A). Neurons were challenged with K50 for a reference response and then exposed to 2 challenges of either capsaicin (Caps, 0.1 μmol/L) or acrolein (Acro, 10 μmol/L). The cells were then exposed to 0.1 nmol/L tiotropium for 20 minutes, after which the cells were rechallenged with the respective challenge agent. After a wash step, the cells were challenged with the tussive agent. B and C, Example traces were obtained: open triangles indicate K50 challenge, and solid triangles show where the challenge agent was added.
