We examined the inhibitory activities of several E-ring and F-ring isoprostanes in canine and porcine airway smooth muscle (ASM) using muscle bath techniques. 8-iso PGE1 and 8-iso PGE2 reversed cholinergic tone in a concentration-dependent manner, while the F-ring isoprostanes were ineffective. Desensitization with 8-iso PGE2 and PGE2 implicated isoprostane activity at the prostanoid EP receptor. We found that the inhibitory E-ring isoprostane responses were significantly augmented by rolipram (PDE IV inhibitor), while ODQ (guanylate cyclase inhibitor) had no effect, suggesting a role for cAMP in isoprostane mediated relaxations. 8-iso PGE2 did not reverse KCl tone, suggesting that voltage-dependent Ca2+ influx and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) are not suppressed by isoprostanes. Patch clamp studies showed marked suppression of K+ currents by 8-iso PGE2. We conclude that E-ring isoprostanes exert EP receptor-directed, cAMP-dependent relaxations in canine and porcine ASM. This activity is not dependent on K+ channel activation nor the direct inhibition of voltage operated Ca2+ influx or MLCK.
