Platelet-activating factor receptor-dependent activation of the muscarinic K+ current in bullfrog atrial myocytes.
Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent signaling lipid implicated as a mediator of pathological responses, has both negative chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart, although the mechanism(s) involved is not well defined. Because activation of the muscarinic acetylcholine-activated K+ current (IK(ACh)) also produces a negative chronotropic and inotropic response in myocardium, this ...
متن کاملStimulation of L-type Ca2+ current in human atrial myocytes by insulin.
OBJECTIVE The L-type calcium current (ICa,L) in isolated human atrial myocytes was investigated as a possible target of insulin in the regulation of cardiac function. METHODS Atrial myocytes were obtained from patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, we investigated the stimulation of ICa,L by insulin in single human atrial myocytes...
متن کاملalpha1-adrenoceptor stimulation potentiates L-type Ca2+ current through Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent PK II (CaMKII) activation in rat ventricular myocytes.
alpha1-Adrenoceptor stimulation (alpha1ARS) modulates cardiac muscle contraction under physiological conditions by means of changes in Ca2+ current through L-type channels (ICa,L) and Ca2+ sensitivity of the myofilaments. However, the cellular mechanisms of alpha1ARS are not fully clarified. In this study, we investigated the role of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent PK II (CaMKII) in the regulation of...
متن کاملA novel, voltage-dependent nonselective cation current activated by insulin in guinea pig isolated ventricular myocytes.
Insulin regulates cardiac metabolism and function by targeting metabolic proteins or voltage-gated ion channels. This study provides evidence for a novel, voltage-dependent, nonselective cation channel (NSCC) in the heart. Under voltage clamp at 37 degrees C and with major known conductances blocked, insulin (1 nmol/L to 1 micromol/L) activated an outwardly rectifying current (Iinsulin) in guin...
متن کاملCharacterization of effects of endothelin-1 on the L-type Ca2+ current in human atrial myocytes.
The effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the L-type Ca2+ current (I(Ca)) were examined in whole cell patch-clamped human atrial myocytes. Depending on the initial current density, ET-1 (10 nM) increased the amplitude of I(Ca) by 99 +/- 7% or decreased it by 33 +/- 2%. The stimulatory effect predominated on current of low density (2.3 +/- 0.2 pA/pF), whereas I(Ca) of higher density (5.8 +/- 0.3 pA/...
