ABSTRACT
We studied the inhibitory actions of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the contractions induced by carbachol (CCh), angiotensin II (Ang II), and bradykinin (BK) in guinea pig (GP) gastric fundus smooth muscle (GFSM), particularly focusing on the possible inhibition of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs). DHA significantly suppressed the contractions induced by CCh, Ang II, and BK; the inhibition of BK-induced contractions was the strongest. Although all contractions were greatly dependent on external Ca2+, more than 80% of BK-induced contractions remained even in the presence of verapamil, a voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel inhibitor. BK-induced contractions in the presence of verapamil were not suppressed by LOE-908 (a receptor-operated Ca2+ channel (ROCC) inhibitor) but were suppressed by SKF-96365 (an SOCC and ROCC inhibitor). BK-induced contractions in the presence of verapamil plus LOE-908 were strongly inhibited by DHA. Furthermore, DHA inhibited GFSM contractions induced by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) in the presence of verapamil plus LOE-908 and inhibited the intracellular Ca2+ increase due to Ca2+ addition in CPA-treated 293T cells. These findings indicate that Ca2+ influx through SOCCs plays a crucial role in BK-induced contraction in GP GFSM and that this inhibition by DHA is a new mechanism by which this fatty acid inhibits GFSM contractions.
