| Popis: | This study investigated the cannabinoid receptor, known to inhibit neuronally-evoked contractions of the mouse isolated urinary bladder, in bladder sections isolated from mouse, rat, dog, pig non-human primate or human. The CB(1)-like pharmacology of the cannabinoid receptor in mouse isolated bladder observed previously was confirmed in this study by the rank order of agonist potencies: CP 55940>/=WIN 55212-2>HU 210>JWH 015>anandamide, the high affinity of the CB(1) selective antagonist, SR 141716A (apparent pK(B) 8.7), and the low affinity of the CB(2) antagonist, SR 144528 (apparent pK(B) or =WIN 55212-2>JWH 015). In this tissue, the maximal inhibitory effect of all agonists was lower than in the mouse bladder. Indeed, the effects of both HU 210 and anandamide were too modest to quantify potency accurately. In the rat isolated bladder, SR 141716A (30 nM) or SR 144528 (100 nM), reversed the inhibitory effect of WIN 55212-2 (apparent pK(B) = 8.4 and 8.0, respectively) or JWH 015 (apparent pK(B) = 8.2 and 7.4, respectively). These findings may demonstrate pharmacological differences between the rat and mouse orthologues of the CB(1) receptor. Alternatively, they may be attributed to a mixed population of CB(1) and CB(2) receptors that jointly influence neurogenic contraction of the rat bladder, but cannot be differentiated without more selective ligands. WIN 55212-2 had no effect on electrically-evoked contractions of bladder sections isolated from dog, pig, cynomolgus monkey and human. These findings suggest that the effect of cannabinoid agonists to inhibit neurogenic contraction of the mouse and rat bladder is not conserved across all mammalian species. |
