β2-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling Acts via No Release to Mediate Ach-Induced Activation of Atp-Sensitive K+ Current in Cat Atrial Myocytes

Abstract: In atrial myocytes, an initial exposure to isoproterenol (ISO) acts via cAMP to mediate a subsequent acetylcholine (ACh)-induced activation of ATP-sensitive K+ current (IK,ATP). In addition, β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation activates nitric oxide (NO) release. The present study determined whether the conditioning effect of β-AR stimulation acts via β1- and/or β2-ARs and whether it is mediated via NO signaling. 0.1 μM ISO plus ICI 118,551 (ISO-β1-AR stimulation) or ISO plus atenolol (ISO-β2-AR stimulati… Show more

“…We also sought to determine whether stim-ulation of muscarinic receptors increases NO i production via G i proteins coupled to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)/ protein kinase B (Akt) signaling, similar to NO i production elicited by ␤ 2 -adrenergic receptor (AR) stimulation. 19 The present results indicate that ACh exposure and withdrawal increase NO i production. ACh-induced increases in NO i require both muscarinic receptor-mediated G i /PI-3K/Akt signaling and voltage-activated Ca 2ϩ influx for stimulation of calmodulin (CaM)-dependent endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activity.…”

“…We did observe a significant difference in vasodilator responses to isoproterenol infusion between Ado responders and nonresponders. Although isoproterenol does not work exclusively via cAMPmediated vasodilation (41), it has a strong cAMP component and may also evoke NO release. In this context, perhaps Ado responders have a greater cAMP component of Ado-mediated vasodilation perhaps resulting from stimulation of a greater number of G s stimulatory protein-mediated Ado receptor subtypes (Ado receptors A 2A and A 2B ), which are present on both endothelial and skeletal muscle cells (21).…”

“…37 Although the positive inotropic action of ISO in the rat atrium is reported to be entirely accounted for by β 1 -adrenoceptors, a role for β 2 -adrenoceptors in atrial K ATP channel activation cannot be entirely ruled out. 37,38 Conversely, β 3 -adrenoceptors are negatively inotropic in the rat heart and may have attenuated the ISO-induced metabolic-stress. 39 …”
