A severalfold increase in calcium current (ICa) is a signal feature of the maximal beta-adrenergic response of the heart. It is generally ascribed to enhanced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent phosphorylation of calcium (Ca) channels after beta-receptor activation of the guanosine nucleotide-binding (G) protein Gs, and Gs activation of the adenylyl cyclase cascade. We blocked phosphorylation pathways in guinea pig cardiomyocytes to unmask other possible ICa-stimulatory modes. In blocked cells, ICa increased by approximately 50% during 1) beta-receptor activation of Gs, 2) intracellular activation of Gs, and 3) intracellular application of preactivated Gs, We conclude that fast, membrane-delimited Gs modulation participates in the physiological regulation of cardiac ICa.

The goal of this study was to determine if the hyporesponsiveness to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation observed in ovalbumin-sensitized tracheal smooth muscle is due to increased cholinergic muscarinic tone or to a defect in the beta-adrenergic cascade itself. We examined the effects of ovalbumin-sensitization on the responsiveness of guinea pig tracheae to agents that mediate relaxation at various steps in the beta-adrenergic cascade when the tracheal tissue was preconstricted with either carbachol or histamine. Ovalbumin sensitization caused significant reductions in the maximal relaxations both to the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol and to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in guinea pig trachealis when the tracheal tissue was preconstricted with the muscarinic agonist carbachol. In contrast, sensitization had no effect on the ability of PGE2 and isoproterenol to relax histamine contractions. Preconstricting the tissues with increasing concentrations of KCl reduced the effectiveness of isoproterenol to relax equally airway tissues from both sensitized and control animals. Forskolin-induced relaxations of trachealis muscle were not altered with sensitization. When tracheal tissues were precontracted with increasing concentrations of carbachol, the effectiveness of isoproterenol and PGE2 to relax airway tissues decreased. Functional antagonism of relaxations by muscarinic agonists was enhanced in the sensitized tissues, since the concentration of carbachol necessary to reduce beta-adrenoceptor-induced relaxations to the same degree as in the control animals was a log dose lower. These results suggest that the impaired beta-adrenoceptor response in sensitized tissues is not due to an intrinsic defect in the beta-adrenergic cascade but to an enhancement of a muscarinic cholinergic pathway.
