K+ channel openers activate brain sulfonylurea-sensitive K+ channels and block neurosecretion.
Vascular K+ channel openers such as cromakalim, nicorandil, and pinacidil potently stimulate 86Rb+ efflux from slices of substantia nigra. This 86Rb+ efflux is blocked by antidiabetic sulfonylureas, which are known to be potent and specific blockers of ATP-regulated K+ channels in pancreatic beta cells, cardiac cells, and smooth muscle cells. K0.5, the half-maximal effect of the enantiomer (-)-...
متن کاملSulfonylurea receptor-dependent and -independent pathways mediate vasodilation induced by ATP-sensitive K+ channel openers.
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel openers are vasodilators that activate both plasma membrane and mitochondrial KATP channels. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which diazoxide and pinacidil induce vasodilation by studying diameter regulation of wild-type [SUR2(+/+)] and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) 2-deficient [SUR2(-/-)] mouse myogenic mesenteric arteries. Ryanodine (10 microM), ...
متن کاملSulfonylurea and K+-Channel Opener Sensitivity of KATP Channels
The sensitivity of K(ATP) channels to high-affinity block by sulfonylureas and to stimulation by K(+) channel openers and MgADP (PCOs) is conferred by the regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit, whereas ATP inhibits the channel through interaction with the inward rectifier (Kir6.2) subunit. Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) profoundly antagonized ATP inhibition of K(ATP) c...
متن کاملMitochondrial K(ATP) channel openers activate the ERK kinase by an oxidant-dependent mechanism.
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are key regulatory proteins that mediate cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play a role in activation of the ERK pathway. Because mitochondria are a major source of ROS, we investigated whether mitochondria-derived ROS play a role in ERK activation. Diazoxide, a potent mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ ...
متن کاملEffect of ATP-Dependent K+ Channel Openers and Blockers on Serum Concentration of Aldosterone in Rats
There are many reports for involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic, cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. This study examined the effect of single doses of K+ channel openers diazoxide, minoxidil and K+ channel blockers chlorpropamide, glibenclamide on serum concentration of aldosterone in male rats. Blood samples were obtained 60 minutes after drug treatment and serum...
