Abstract
Here a comparison is made between adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-activated Cl- current (ICl) density and activation time course in response to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation with isoproterenol and adenylyl cyclase activation with forskolin. Saturating concentrations of isoproterenol and forskolin failed to activate an ICl in guinea pig atrial as well as in rat and frog ventricular cardiomyocytes. In guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes, step application of 1 microM isoproterenol induced an ICl of -0.89 +/- 0.32 pA/pF (holding potential -40 mV, temperature 22 +/- 1 degrees C). ICl activation started after 3 +/- 1 s, was complete within 44 +/- 9 s, and was abolished after cell dialysis with the Rp diastereomer of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate. Stimulation with increasing concentrations of forskolin (0.01-10 microM) increased ICl density and accelerated ICl activation. With 1 microM forskolin, ICl density was maximal (-0.57 +/- 0.30 pA/pF) but significantly smaller than that achieved with 1 microM isoproterenol. Although ICl density could not be further augmented by forskolin > 1 microM, current activation (latency 28 +/- 8 s, full activation after 112 +/- 8 s with 1 microM forskolin) was further accelerat...Continue Reading
