Abstract

alpha-Adrenergic stimulation is known to play a role in cardiac arrhythmogenesis and to modulate a variety of cardiac K+ currents. The effects of alpha-adrenergic stimulation on Cl- currents are largely unknown. Many cardiac cell types show a volume-sensitive Cl- current induced by cell swelling (ICl.swell). The present experiments were designed to assess the potential alpha-adrenergic modulation of ICl.swell in rabbit atrial myocytes. ICl.swell was induced with the use of a hypotonic superfusate, under conditions designed to prevent currents carried by K+, Na+, and Ca2+ ions. A basal Cl- current (ICl.b) was observed under isotonic conditions in 128 of 150 cells (85%), had the same dependency on [Cl-]o as ICl.swell, and was reduced by cell shrinkage induced by hypertonic superfusion, suggesting that ICl.b is carried by the same volume-sensitive Cl- conductance as ICl.swell. Phenylephrine produced a concentration-dependent and near-complete inhibition of ICl.b and ICl.swell, with EC50 values of 86 +/- 5 and 72 +/- 7 (mean +/- SEM) mumol/L, respectively, at +20 mV. Norepinephrine (administered in the presence of 1 mumol/L propranolol) also inhibited ICl.b and ICl.swell, with EC50 values of 2.6 +/- 0.1 and 2.8 +/- 0.4 mumol/L, res...Continue Reading
