Bath Application

Learning and memory are critically dependent on basal forebrain cholinergic (BFC) neuron excitability, which is modulated profoundly by leak K+ channels. Many neuromodulators closing leak K+ channels have been reported, whereas their endogenous opener remained unknown. We here demonstrate that nitric oxide (NO) can be the endogenous opener of leak K+ channels in the presumed BFC neurons. Bath application of 1 mM S-nitroso- N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), an NO donor, induced a long-lasting hyperpolarization, which was often interrupted by a transient depolarization. Soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitors prevented SNAP from inducing hyperpolarization but allowed SNAP to cause depolarization, whereas bath application of 0.2 mM 8-bromoguanosine-3′,5′-cyclomonophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) induced a similar long-lasting hyperpolarization alone. These observations indicate that the SNAP-induced hyperpolarization and depolarization are mediated by the cGMP-dependent and -independent processes, respectively. When examined with the ramp command pulse applied at –70 mV under the voltage-clamp condition, 8-Br-cGMP application induced the outward current that reversed at K+ equilibrium potential ( EK) and displayed Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz rectification, indicating the involvement of voltage-independent K+ current. By contrast, SNAP application in the presumed BFC neurons either dialyzed with the GTP-free internal solution or in the presence of 10 μM Rp-8-bromo-β-phenyl-1,N2-ethenoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphorothioate sodium salt, a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, induced the inward current that reversed at potentials much more negative than EK and close to the reversal potential of Na+-K+ pump current. These observations strongly suggest that NO activates leak K+ channels through cGMP-PKG-dependent pathway to markedly decrease the excitability in BFC neurons, while NO simultaneously causes depolarization by the inhibition of Na+-K+ pump through ATP depletion.

Contractile Performance

Reduction of the transsarcolemmal [Na] gradient in rabbit cardiac muscle leads to an increase in the force of contraction. This has frequently been attributed to alteration of Ca movements via the sarcolemmal Na/Ca exchange system. However, the specific mechanisms that mediate the increased force at individual contractions have not been clearly established. In the present study, the [Na] gradient was decreased by reduction of extracellular [Na] or inhibition of the Na pump by either the cardioactive steroid acetylstrophanthidin or by reduction of extracellular [K]. Contractile performance and changes in extracellular Ca (sensed by double-barreled Ca-selective microelectrodes) were studied in order to elucidate the underlying basis for the increase in force. In the presence of agents that inhibit sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function (10 mM caffeine, 100-500 nM ryanodine), reduction of the [Na] gradient produced increases in contractile force similar to that observed in the absence of caffeine or ryanodine. It is concluded that an intact, functioning SR is not required for the inotropic effect of [Na] gradient reduction (at least in rabbit ventricle). However, this does not exclude a possible contribution of enhanced SR Ca release in the inotropic response to [Na] gradient reduction in the absence of caffeine or ryanodine. Acetylstrophanthidin (3-5 microM) usually leads to an increase in the magnitude of extracellular Ca depletions associated with individual contractions. However, acetylstrophanthidin can also increase extracellular Ca accumulation during the contraction, especially at potentiated contractions. This extracellular Ca accumulation can be suppressed by ryanodine and it is suggested that this apparent enhancement of Ca efflux is secondary to an enhanced release of Ca from the SR. Under conditions where Ca efflux during contractions is minimized (after a rest interval in the presence of ryanodine), acetylstrophanthidin increased both the rate and the extent of extracellular Ca depletions. Thus, acetylstrophanthidin can increase both Ca influx and Ca efflux during the cardiac muscle contraction. These results can be explained by a simple model where the direction of net Ca flux via Na/Ca exchange during the action potential is determined by the changes in reversal potential of the Na/Ca exchange. Reduction of the [Na] gradient may well lead to net cellular Ca uptake (via Na/Ca exchange) and may also elevate the resting intracellular [Ca].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Delayed Afterdepolarizations

Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in rats by daily injection of isoproterenol (5 mg/kg ip) for 7 days. Membrane voltage and currents were recorded using the whole cell patch-clamp technique in left ventricular myocytes from control and hypertrophied hearts. Ryanodine-sensitive delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) and transient inward current ( I ti) appeared in hypertrophied cells more often and were of larger amplitude than in control cells. DADs and I ti are carried principally by Na/Ca exchange with smaller contributions from a nonselective cation channel and from a Cl− channel. The latter is expressed only in hypertrophied myocytes. In hypertrophy, the density of caffeine-induced Na/Ca exchange current ( I Na/Ca) was increased by 26%, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content as assessed from the integral of I Na/Ca was increased by 30%, the density of Na-pump current ( I pump) was reduced by 40%, and the intracellular Na+ content, measured by Na+-selective microelectrodes was increased by 55%. The results indicate that DADs and I ti are generated by spontaneous Ca2+ release from an overloaded SR caused by a downregulated Na pump and an upregulated Na/Ca exchange. These findings may explain the propensity for arrhythmias seen in this model of hypertrophy.

Stimulation Of

Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) stimulates Na+ transport and Na-K-ATPase activity via cAMP-dependent PKA activation in the renal cortical collecting duct (CCD). We investigated the role of the Na-K-ATPase in the AVP-induced stimulation of transepithelial Na+ transport using the mpkCCDc14 cell model of mammalian collecting duct principal cells. AVP (10−9 M) stimulated both the amiloride-sensitive transepithelial Na+ transport measured in intact cells and the maximal Na pump current measured by the ouabain-sensitive short-circuit current in apically permeabilized cells. These effects were associated with increased Na-K-ATPase cell surface expression, measured by Western blotting after streptavidin precipitation of biotinylated cell surface proteins. The effects of AVP on Na pump current and Na-K-ATPase cell surface expression were dependent on PKA activity but independent of increased apical Na+ entry. Time course experiments revealed that in response to AVP, the cell surface expression of both endogenous Na-K-ATPase and hybrid Na pumps containing a c- myc-tagged wild-type human α1-subunit increased transiently. Na-K-ATPase cell surface expression was maximal after 30 min and then declined toward baseline after 60 min. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that PKA activation did not alter total phosphorylation levels of the endogenous Na-K-ATPase α-subunit. In addition, mutation of the PKA phosphorylation site (S943A or S943D) did not alter the time course of increased cell surface expression of c- myc-tagged Na-K-ATPase in response to AVP or to dibutyryl-cAMP. Therefore, stimulation of Na-K-ATPase cell surface expression by AVP is dependent on PKA but does not rely on α1-subunit phosphorylation on serine 943 in the collecting duct principal cells.
