[Modulation of molecular signaling mechanisms in excitable cells by toxins and bacterial substances].

The mechanisms of bacterial substances (protein A, peptidoglican Staphylococcus aureus), bacterium toxins (St. aureus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Shigella dysenteriae, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium tetani, Vibrio choleral), transfer factor of immune reactivity to Staphylococcus aureus upon the key link (acetylcholine-, ATP-, inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate-, ryanodin-sensitive receptors, G-proteins, Ca2+, K(+)-transporting systems, second messengers) in the chain of signal conduction of excitatory and inhibitory agonists in excitable cells were examined. The action of these immune-active substances upon contractile proteins ATP-ase activity and protein synthesis was also discussed.

[Effects of cell-binding protein A of Staphylococcus aureus on the level of intracellular calcium ions and actomyosin ATP-ase activity in the smooth muscles].

Immune-active substance of Staphylococcus aureus, cell-bound protein A (CBPA), enhances the acetylcholine- or hyperpotassium (K+) Krebs solution-evoked excitation in Taenia coli smooth muscles. CBPA increases caffeine- and carbachole-evoked Ca2+ signals in smooth muscle cells suspension, loaded with indo-1, and also caffeine- and acetylcholine-evoked contraction in smooth muscles slices. Against a background of CBPA-suppressed action of sodium nitroprusside, ATP evokes the membrane depolarization. CBPA in small concentrations potentiates ATPase (Mg2+,Ca2+-; Mg2+- and Mg2+- in the presence of EGTA) activity of actomyosin in the smooth muscles.

[Mechanism of the effect of dibasol on the contractile and electric activities of the smooth muscle of the portal vein].

The effects of dibasol on spontaneous electrical and contractile activities as well as on the reactions evoked by hyperkalemic solution and noradrenaline were studied in smooth muscle of rabbit portal vein. It was shown that dibasol blocked the potential-operated influx Ca2+ into smooth muscle cells. The noninactivating calcium channels were found to be more sensitive to dibasol than inactivating ones. Significant part of the tonic contraction induced by noradrenaline was resistant to dibasol suggesting its weak effect on Ca2+ influx through calcium channels operated by alpha 1-adrenoceptors. It is supposed that vasodilative effect of dibasol is associated with blocking the influx Ca2+ through potential-operated noninactivating calcium channels into smooth muscle cells.
