Examination of signalling pathways involved in muscarinic responses in bovine ciliary muscle using YM-254890, an inhibitor of the Gq/11 protein.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:In the ciliary muscle, the tonic component of the contraction produced by cholinergic agonists is highly dependent on Ca2+ provided by influx through non-selective cation channels (NSCCs) opened by stimulation of M3 muscarinic receptors. We examined effects of YM-254890 (YM), a Gq/11-specific inhibitor, on contraction, NSCC currents and [Ca2+]i elevation induced by carbachol (CCh). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:Isometric tension was recorded from ciliary muscle bundles excised from bovine eyes. In ciliary myocytes dispersed with collagenase and cultured for 1-5 days, whole-cell currents were recorded by voltage clamp and the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i was monitored using the Fluo-4 fluorophore. Existence and localization of M3 receptors and the alpha subunit of Gq/11 (Galpha(q/11)) were examined by immunofluorescence microscopy using AlexaFluor-conjugated antibodies. KEY RESULTS:Both phasic and tonic components of contractions evoked by 2 microM CCh were inhibited by YM (3-10 microM) in a dose-dependent manner. In the cultured cells, CCh (0.05-10 microM) evoked an NSCC current as well as an elevation of the [Ca2+]i. Both initial and sustained phases of these CCh-evoked responses were abolished by YM (3-10 microM). Immunostaining of the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane of ciliary myocytes revealed a dense distribution of M3 receptors and Galpha(q/11). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:The tonic as well as phasic component of the ciliary muscle contraction appears to be under control of signals conveyed by a G(q/11)-coupled pathway. YM is a useful tool to assess whether Gq/11 is involved in a signal transduction system.
