We hypothesize that the rapid non-genomic spasmolytic effect of estrogens on mouse duodenal muscle might be triggered by an estrogen-receptor-independent mechanism likely involving activation of tetraethylamonium- and 4-aminopyridine-sensitive K (+) channels and inhibition of L-type Ca2 (+) channels on the smooth muscle cells.

KEY FINDINGS: PPT vasorelaxation was largely reduced by the selective ERalpha antagonist methyl-piperidinopyrazole (MPP; -91.6+/-2.5%), by the selective PKG inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cGMP (-78.6+/-4.9%), by the specific soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ (1H-(1,2,4)-oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one; -85.3+/-5.2%) and to a lesser extent by the selective BKCa (large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium channel) inhibitor iberiotoxin (-59.3%), the selective IKCa (intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel) inhibitor TRAM-34 (1-[(2-chlorophenyl) diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole; -50.7%) and the voltage-gated potassium channel inhibitor 4-aminopyridine (-40.8%).

The relaxant response to 8 was unaffected by the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 (7alpha-[9-[(4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl]-sulfinyl] nonyl]-estra-1,3,5 (10)- triene-3,17beta-diol) and K+ channel blockers, i.e., TEA, glibenclamide, and 4-aminopyridine.

In vitro contractions (assessed with a wire myograph) induced by normoxia, KCl, 4-aminopyridine, norepinephrine, phenylephrine, U46619, or endothelin-1 as well as relaxations induced by acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, BAY 41-2272, prostaglandin E2, isoproterenol, forskolin,Y-27632, and hydroxyfasudil were not significantly different between males and females.

The antagonists of voltage-dependent K+-channels (K (V)) (4-aminopyridine), ATP-sensitive K+-channels (K (ATP)) (glibenclamide), or inward rectifier K+-channels (KIR) (barium) had no effect on the relaxation responses of any of the compounds studied.

The 17beta-estradiol-induced inhibition of the outward current was blocked by pretreatment with the potassium channel blockers tetraethylammonium and 4-aminopyridine.
