1. Intracellular recordings were made from C-fiber neurons identified by antidromic conduction velocity in intact guinea pig nodose ganglia maintained in vitro, and whole-cell patch clamp recordings were made from dissociated guinea pig nodose neurons to investigate the contribution of various K+ conductances to action-potential repolarization. 2. The repolarizing phase of the intracellularly recorded action potential was prolonged in a concentration-dependent manner by charybdotoxin (Chtx; EC50 = 39 nM) or iberiatoxin (Ibtx; EC50 = 48 nM) in a subpopulation of 16/36 C-fiber neurons. In a subset of these experiments, removal of extracellular Ca2+ reversibly prolonged action-potential duration (APD) in the same 4/9 intracellularly recorded C-fiber neurons affected by Chtx (> or = 100 nM). These convergent results support that a Ca(2+)-activated K+ current (IC) contributes to action-potential repolarization in a restricted subpopulation of C-fiber neurons. 3. Tetraethylammonium (TEA; 1-10 mM) increased APD considerably further in the presence of 100-250 nM Chtx or Ibtx, or in nominally Ca(2+)-free superfusate in 14/14 intracellularly recorded C-fiber neurons. TEA affected APD similarly in subpopulations of neurons with and without IC, suggesting that a voltage-dependent K+ current (IK) contributes significantly to action-potential repolarization in most nodose C-fiber neurons. 4. Substitution of Mn2+ for Ca2+ reduced outward whole-cell currents elicited by voltage command steps positive to -30 mV (2-25 ms) in a subpopulation of 21/36 dissociated nodose neurons, supporting the heterogeneous expression of IC. The kinetics of outward tail current relaxations (tau s of 1.5-2 ms) measured at the return of 2-3 ms depolarizing steps to -40 mV were indistinguishable in neurons with and without IC, precluding a separation of the nodose IC and IK by a difference in deactivation rates. 5. Chtx (10-250 nM) reduced in a subpopulation of 3/8 C-fiber neurons the total outward current elicited by voltage steps depolarized to -30 mV in single microelectrode voltage-clamp recordings. TEA (5-10 mM) further reduced outward current in the presence of 100-250 nM Chtx in all eight experiments. The Chtx-sensitive current was taken to represent IC, and the TEA-sensitive current, the IK component contributing to action-potential repolarization. 6. Rapidly inactivating current (IA) was implicated in action-potential repolarization in a subpopulation of intracellularly recorded C-fiber neurons. In 4/7 neurons, incremented hyperpolarizing prepulses negative to -50 mV progressively shortened APD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

In freshly dispersed guinea pig taenia coli myocytes the activity of the large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel (maxi-K+ channel) predominates. The open probability (Po) of this channel is increased by micromolar concentrations of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (ISO). Low concentrations of cholera toxin (CTX, 1 pM) and guanosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S, 0.5 mM) suppress the ISO-induced increase of Po. Higher concentrations of CTX (e.g., 0.5 nM) as well as forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP increase the Po. 1,9-Dideoxyforskolin, the forskolin analogue, which lacks the adenylate cyclase-stimulating effect, does not. A specific protein kinase A inhibitor (Wiptide), applied intracellularly via diffusion from the patch electrode, suppresses the ISO-induced increase of whole-cell outward K+ current during step depolarization. In contrast, intracellularly applied protein kinase C (19-36), a specific protein kinase C inhibitor, has no effect on the whole-cell current. TMB-8, an inhibitor of intracellular calcium mobilization, does not affect either the whole-cell outward K+ current during step depolarization or the Po. These observations show that ISO increases the Po of the maxi-K+ channels in the guinea pig taenia coli myocytes through the G protein-adenylate cyclase-protein kinase A system.

The fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura 2 was used to measure cytosolic free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) in order to obtain information about relative rates of Ca2+ influx into parietal cells during treatment with carbachol (a cholinergic agonist) or thapsigargin (TG, a Ca(2+)-mobilizing agent) or during reloading of the internal Ca2+ stores. In Ca(2+)-containing solutions, carbachol-, TG-, and reloading-stimulated Ca2+ entry exhibited nearly identical sensitivity to La3+ [inhibition constant (Ki) approximately 10 microM] or low pH (pKi approximately 7.0). In experiments in which carbachol and TG were used, there was no additional increase in [Ca2+]i when TG was added to carbachol-treated cells or when carbachol was added to cells previously treated with TG. Thus it is likely that a single Ca2+ entry pathway serves a signaling function as well as a role in refilling the Ca2+ store during reloading. Because the Ca2+ pathway is exquisitely sensitive to pH and serosal pH increases during stimulant-induced H+ secretion (which is activated by increases in [Ca2+]i), this mechanism will exert positive feedback on parietal cells in the intact stomach. When parietal cells were pretreated with carbachol in Ca(2+)-free solutions, reloading was independent of pH and La3+, suggesting that Ca(2+)-containing solutions should be used to determine the properties of the influx pathway.

The mechanism whereby gastrin-type receptor and muscarinic M3-type receptor regulate free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was studied in rabbit gastric parietal cells stimulated by either gastrin or carbachol. Both agonists induced a biphasic [Ca2+]i response: a transient [Ca2+]i rise, followed by a sustained steady state depending on extracellular Ca2+. Gastrin and carbachol also caused a rapid and transient increase in Mn2+ influx (a tracer for bivalent-cation entry). Pre-stimulation of cells with one agonist drastically decreased both [Ca2+]i increase and Mn2+ influx induced by the other. Neither diltiazem nor pertussistoxin treatment had any effect on agonist-stimulated Mn2+ entry. Thapsigargin, a Ca(2+)-pump inhibitor, induced a biphasic [Ca2+]i increase, and enhanced the rate of Mn2+ entry. Preincubation of cells with thapsigargin inhibits the [Ca2+]i increase as well as Mn2+ entry stimulated by gastrin or by carbachol. Thapsigargin induced a weak but significant increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content, but this agent had no effect on the agonist-evoked Ins(1,4,5)P3 response. In permeabilized parietal cells, Ins(1,4,5)P3 and caffeine caused an immediate Ca2+ release from intracellular pools, followed by a reloading of Ca2+ pools which can be prevented in the presence of thapsigargin. We conclude that (i) gastrin and carbachol mobilize common Ca2+ intracellular stores, (ii) Ca2+ permeability secondary to receptor activation involves neither a voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel nor a GTP-binding protein from the G1 family, and (iii) agonists regulate common Ca2+ channels in depleting intracellular Ca2+ stores.
