Dual coupling of heterologously‐expressed rat P2Y6 nucleotide receptors to N‐type Ca2+ and M‐type K+ currents in rat sympathetic neurones

Abstract: 1 The P2Y 6 receptor is a uridine nucleotide-speci®c G protein-linked receptor previously reported to stimulate the phosphoinositide (PI) pathway. We have investigated its eect in neurones, by micro-injecting its cRNA into dissociated rat sympathetic neurones and recording responses of Ntype Ca 2+ (I Ca(N) ) and M-type K + (I K(M) ) currents. 2 In P2Y 6 cRNA-injected neurones, UDP or UTP produced a voltage-dependent inhibition of I Ca(N) by *53% in whole-cell (disrupted-patch) mode and by *73% in perforated-p… Show more

“…8, A and B). The extent of this effect matches the partial reduction found previously (19) with noradrenaline acting on the native adrenoceptors in these neurons under the same conditions. That effect was in other cases shown to be a voltage-dependent action due to released G␤␥ subunits inducing a gating shift of the channel (16,27,29).…”

“…7A), the inhibition was 48.8 Ϯ 4.3% (n ϭ 14). This fraction of the population of these channels that is susceptible to P2Y 12 receptor-mediated inhibition is similar to that found for them with the other P2Y receptor subtypes studied (16,17,19). In control experiments (with neurons injected with the same vector carrying only the EGFP-cDNA) the inhibition of this Ca 2ϩ current by 2-MeSADP or 2-MeSATP, up to 10 M, was maximally 5.00 Ϯ 2.04% (n ϭ 9), the same non-significant change as was seen at 10 M agonist with neurons not injected at all.…”
