Recent studies indicate that smooth muscle contraction may involve mechanisms beyond MLC phosphorylation-induced actomyosin crossbridge cycling. This study explores the involvement of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation in mouse detrusor muscle contraction.
Recent studies suggested smooth muscle contraction may involve mechanisms besides the myosin regulatory light chain (MLC) phosphorylation-induced actomyosin crossbridge cycling. This study aims to determine if focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation is involved in mouse detrusor muscle contraction. The mouse detrusor muscle strips were preincubated with PF-573228 (2 & mu;M), latrunculin B (1 & mu;M), or the same volume of vehicle (DMSO) for 30 min. The contractile responses to KCl (90 mM), electrical field stimulation (EFS, 2-32 Hz), or carbachol (CCh, 10-7.5-10-4.5 M) were measured. In a separate experiment, the phosphorylated FAK (p-FAK) and MLC (p-MLC) levels were measured in the detrusor strips stimulated with CCh (10 & mu;M) after incubation with PF-573228 or vehicle (DMSO) compared to those with vehicle incubation but without CCh stimulation. KCl-induced contractile responses decreased significantly after incubation with PF-573228 or latrunculin B compared to the corre-sponding vehicle-treated strips (p < 0.0001). The contractile responses induced by EFS were markedly inhibited by preincubation with PF-573228 at 8, 16, and 32 Hz (p < 0.05) or latrunculin B at 16 and 32 Hz (p < 0.01). Following the application of PF-573228 or Latrunculin B, CCh-induced dose-response contractions were lower than the corresponding vehicle group (p = 0.0021 and 0.0003, respectively). Western blot examination showed that CCh stimulation enhanced the expression of p-FAK and p-MLC, while preincubation with PF-573228 pre-vented the increase of p-FAK but not p-MLC. In conclusion, FAK activation involves tension development induced by contractile stimulation in the mouse detrusor muscle. This effect is likely caused by promoting actin poly-merization rather than elevating MLC phosphorylation.
