Background. Tokunoshima is a remote island in the Amami Islands, 470 km southwest of the Kagoshima mainland. It has a population of 23,000 and consists of three towns: Tokunoshima, Isen, and Amagi. Three medical institutions on the island are respons

Background and purpose: The intravesical administration of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is used to alleviate the symptoms of interstitial cystitis. We investigated the relaxant effect of DMSO and its underlying mechanism in the detrusor muscle. Experim

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have a remarkable degree of plasticity and in response to vascular injury, they can change to a dedifferentiated state that can be typically seen in cell cultures. Recently, Y27632, a Rho kinase inhibitor, has bee

The inhibition of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) enhances smooth muscle contraction at a constant [Ca2+]. There are two components, myosin-binding subunit of MLCP (MBS) and CPI17, thought to be responsible for the inhibition of MLCP by externa

Dephosphorylation of the two key regulatory factors of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP), CPI17 and MBS (myosin binding subunit) of MLCP was studied. While Thr38 phosphorylated CPI17 is quite susceptible to protein phosphatases, phosphorylated MB

The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is pr

Using fura-PE3 fluorimetry and α-toxin permeabilization, the characteristics of the contractile responses to neurokinin A (NKA) were determined in the pregnant rat myometrium. NKA induced contractions in rat myometrium in a concentration-dependent m

In endothelial cells in situ and in primary culture, immunoblot analysis revealed an expression of the 130-kDa subunit of myosin phosphatase, similar to the myosin phosphatase targeting subunit (MYPT) of smooth muscle. Screening of an endothelial cel

A neuropeptide, galanin, regulates the reproductive process and directly induces myometrial contraction. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism of galanin-induced myometrial contraction. For this purpose, we simultaneously measured intr

To investigate the expression of beta-adrenoceptor (AR) subtypes responsible for detrusor smooth muscle relaxation.Isolated rat detrusor smooth muscle was examined by tension measurement and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).No
