ATP-sensitive K(+) channel activation by nitric oxide and protein kinase G in rabbit ventricular myocytes.
The present investigation tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) potentiates ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels by protein kinase G (PKG)-dependent phosphorylation in rabbit ventricular myocytes with the use of patch-clamp techniques. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 1 mM) potentiated K(ATP) channel activity in cell-attached patches but failed to enhance the channel activity in either inside-...
متن کاملAnoxia-induced activation of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in guinea pig ventricular cells and its modulation by glycolysis.
OBJECTIVE Exposure to anoxia has been reported to activate ATP-sensitive potassium (K+(ATP)) channels in isolated ventricular myocytes. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the anoxia-induced activation of K+(ATP) channels. METHODS Guinea pig ventricular myocytes were isolated using collagenase digestion. Action potentials and membrane currents were recorded in the whole-cell mod...
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 کاملInterrelation between pinacidil and intracellular ATP concentrations on activation of the ATP-sensitive K+ current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.
The patch-clamp technique was used to study the relation between pinacidil and intracellular ATP concentration [( ATP]i) on the activation of the outward K+ current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Pinacidil shortened the action potential duration, exhibiting stronger effect at 2 mM [ATP]i than at 5 mM [ATP]i. Pinacidil at 5 microM or higher concentrations activated the time-independent outw...
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...
