Nitric oxide signaling mediates stimulation of L-type Ca2+ current elicited by withdrawal of acetylcholine in cat atrial myocytes

Abstract

A perforated-patch whole-cell recording method was used to determine whether nitric oxide signaling participates in acetylcholine (ACh)-induced regulation of basal L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L) in cat atrial myocytes. Exposure to 1 microM ACh for 2 min inhibited basal ICa,L (-21 +/- 3%), and withdrawal of ACh elicited rebound stimulation of ICa,L above control (80 +/- 13%) (n = 23). Stimulation of ICa,L elicited by withdrawal of ACh (but not ACh-induced inhibition of ICa,L) was blocked by either 50 microM hemoglobin; 30 microM ODQ or 10 microM methylene blue, inhibitors of soluble guanylate cyclase; 10 microM W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor; or 10 microM L-NIO, an inhibitor of constitutive NO synthase (NOS). In cells incubated in 5 mM L-arginine, ACh-induced rebound stimulation of ICa,L was enhanced compared with control responses. Histochemical assay (NADPH diaphorase) indicated that atrial myocytes express constitutive NOS. NO-donor, spermine/NO (SP/NO), >1 microM stimulated basal ICa,L. SP/NO-induced stimulation of ICa,L was inhibited by 50 microM hemoglobin, 30 microM ODQ, or 5 microM H-89, an inhibitor of PKA, and was unchanged by 50 microM MnTBAP, a peroxynitrite scavenger. When ICa,L was prestimulated by 10 microM milrinone, a...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
