VIP AND PACAP INHIBIT L-, N- AND P/Q-TYPE Ca CHANNELS OF PARASYMPATHETIC NEURONS IN A VOLTAGE INDEPENDENT MANNER

چکیده
In this study, we investigated the effects of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 1-38 (PACAP) on the voltagegated calcium currents in hamster submandibular ganglion neurons. VIP and PACAP inhibited the high threshold voltage-gated calcium current in a voltage-independent and a concentration-dependent manner via the G protein-mediated pathway. L-, Nand P/ Q-type components of the total maximum voltage-gated calcium current accounted for 48.0 3.1% (n 4), 35.1 4.7% (n 4), and 13.5 2.3% (n 3) of the total peak amplitude, respectively. VIP at a concentration of 1 M inhibited the L-type calcium current by 33.2% 1.4% (n 4), the N-type current by 31.0 3.6%, and the P/Q-type current by 3.2 1.1% (n 3). PACAP at a concentration of 1 M inhibited the L-type current by 35.6 5.7%, the N-type current by 34.4 3.1% (n 4), and the P/Q-type current by 6.4 2.1% (n 2). However, VIP and PACAP did not inhibit the low threshold voltagegated (T-type) calcium current. The rank order of potency was PACAP VIP. In experiments replacing GTP with GDP-S, the inhibitory effects of VIP and PACAP were prevented. In experiments of double-pulse protocol, depolarizing conditioning pulses could not relieve the inhibition of total high threshold voltage-gated calcium currents produced by VIP and PACAP. Therefore, the inhibition of the high threshold voltage-gated calcium channels produced by VIP and PACAP in hamster parasympathetic neurons differed in its mechanisms from that of N-type calcium channels in rat sympathetic neurons.

متن کاملNeuropeptide-mediated calcium signaling in the suprachiasmatic nucleus network.
Neuroactive peptides and the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+) ](i) ) play important roles in light-induced modulation of gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons that ultimately control behavioral rhythms. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are expressed rhythmically within populations of SCN neurons. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-ac...

The present study was conducted to investigate the functional implication of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) type I (PAC(1)) receptor in the adrenal catecholamine (CA) secretion induced by either PACAP-27 or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in anesthetized dogs. PACAP-27, VIP, and their respective antagonists were locally infused to the left adrenal gland v...

Because the electrophysiological effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) on the heart are little known, we studied the regulation of the atrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) current by PACAP on primary cultured neonatal rat atrial myocytes. PACAP-38 stimulates cAMP production with EC(50) = 0.28 nmol/l (r = 0.92, P < 0.02). PACAP-38 and PACAP-27 (10 nmol/l) have simil...
متن کاملPACAP type I receptor activation regulates ECL cells and gastric acid secretion.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is present in gastric nerves, and PACAP receptors (PAC1) are found on gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. Expression of PAC1 splice variants in purified ECL cells was determined by RT-PCR. PACAP effects on ECL cells were analyzed by video imaging of [Ca(2+)](i) and histamine release; its effects on gastric glands were examined by...
