Abstract
Removal of the epithelium increased the responsiveness of isolated guinea-pig trachea to the contractile effects of endothelin. This phenomenon was observed in the presence of indomethacin (5 microM), captopril (10 microM), bacitracin (20 micrograms/ml) or leupeptin (50 microM), but was inhibited by phosphoramidon (10 microM). Bacitrain enhanced contraction produced by endothelin. The increased responsiveness of denuded guinea-pig trachea to endothelin may be due to removal of an epithelium-derived phosphoramidon-sensitive peptidase.Entities:
