The muscarinic functional antagonism of isoproterenol relaxation and the contribution of muscarinic M2 receptors were examined in human isolated bronchus. In intact tissues, acetylcholine (ACh) precontraction decreased isoproterenol potency and maximal relaxation (-log EC50 shift = -1.49 ± 0.16 and Emax inhibition for 100 µM ACh = 30%) more than the same levels of histamine contraction. The M2 receptor-selective antagonist methoctramine (1 µM) reduced this antagonism in ACh- but not histamine-contracted tissues. Similar results were obtained for forskolin-induced relaxation. After selective inactivation of M3 receptors with 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-(2-chloroethyl)piperadine hydrochloric acid (30 nM), demonstrated by abolition of contractile and inositol phosphate responses to ACh, muscarinic recontractile responses were obtained in U-46619-precontracted tissues fully relaxed with isoproterenol. Methoctramine antagonized recontraction, with pKB (6.9) higher than in intact tissues (5.4), suggesting participation of M2 receptors. In M3-inactivated tissues, methoctramine augmented the isoproterenol relaxant potency in U-46619-contracted bronchus and reversed the ACh-induced inhibition of isoproterenol cAMP accumulation. These results indicate that M2 receptors cause indirect contraction of human bronchus by reversing sympathetically mediated relaxation and contribute to cholinergic functional antagonism.
