Protein kinase C-dependent inhibition of K+ currents in noradrenaline-induced depolarization of smooth muscle of guinea-pig vas deferens.

Abstract:

:Ionic mechanisms and signal transduction underlying noradrenaline (NA)-induced depolarization in single smooth muscle cells of guinea-pig vas deferens were studied. NA caused depolarization followed by action potentials through activation of 1-adrenoceptors. In the presence of nifedipine, no action potential was generated, and the magnitude of the depolarization depended on the concentration of NA (0.1-100 micrometer). NA, through 1-adrenoceptor activation, reduced the magnitude of membrane currents in response to voltage ramp pulses from -90 to -30 mV in a concentration-dependent manner. The reversal potential of the current inhibited by NA changed proportionally to the change in the equilibrium potential of K+, suggesting that NA inhibited K+ channel activity. Treatment of cells with GDPS, an inhibitor of G proteins, or bisindolylmaleimide (BIM), a selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, prevented the NA inhibition of the currents. Application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), an activator of PKC, mimicked the effect of NA. It is suggested that in the smooth muscle of guinea-pig vas deferens, activation of 1-adrenoceptors and the subsequent activation of PKC led to inhibition of K+ currents, which is responsible for the depolarization induced by NA.
