Role of arachidonic acid in hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase in calcium-activated potassium currents in gastric myocytes.

Abstract:

AIM:To study effects of arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites on the hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase in calcium-activated potassium currents (I(KCa)) in gastric myocytes. METHODS:Membrane currents were recorded by using a conventional whole cell patch-clamp technique in gastric myocytes isolated with collagenase. RESULTS:Hyposmotic membrane stretch and AA increased both I(K(Ca))) and spontaneous transient outward currents significantly. Exogenous AA could potentiate the hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase in I(K(Ca)). The hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase in I(K(Ca)) was significantly suppressed by dimethyleicosadienoic acid (100 micromol/L in pipette solution), an inhibitor of phospholipase A2. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid, a lipoxygenase inhibitor, significantly suppressed AA and hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increases in I(K(Ca)). External calcium-free or gadolinium chloride, a blocker of stretch-activated channels, blocked the AA-induced increase in I(K(Ca)) significantly, but it was not blocked by nicardipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker. Ryanodine, a calcium-induced calcium release agonist, completely blocked the AA-induced increase in I(K(Ca)); however, heparin, a potent inhibitor of inositol triphosphate receptor, did not block the AA-induced increase in I(K(Ca)). CONCLUSION:Hyposmotic membrane stretch may activate phospholipase A2, which hydrolyzes membrane phospholipids to ultimately produce AA; AA as a second messenger mediates Ca(2+) influx, which triggers Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release and elicits activation of I(K(Ca)) in gastric antral circular myocytes of the guinea pig.
