This study was designed to investigate which PKC isozymes mediate down-regulations of IKr by alA-AR and AT1R. Method The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IKr in native cardio- myocytes and in human embryonic kidney （HEK） 293 cells co-transfected with human ether-a-go-go related gene （hERG） encoding α-subunit of IKr and human alA-AR or AT1R gene. Result In isolated guinea-pig ventricular cardiomyocytes the inhibitory action of Ang II on IKr was little affected by Go6976 （selectively inhibiting PKCα, β and γ） and Go6983 （selectively inhibiting PKCα, β, γ , δ, and ζ）, but was significantly antagonized by an inter- nal dialysis with PKCe-selective inhibitory peptide εV1 -2. In contrast, the inhibitory action of alA-AR agonist A61603 on IKr was remarkably attenuated by Go6976 or Go6983, but not affected by peptide εV1 -2. Moreover, specific PKC-selective inhibitory peptide antagonized the effect of A61603. The results suggested that PKCe and PKCα isoform respectively mediated the inhibitory effect of AT1R and a1A-AR. In heterologous expression system, both PKCα and e-selective activator peptides down regulated hERG current with different manner. PKCα activator peptide shifted the activation curve of the channel to the right, but PKCe-selective activator peptide did not. Simi- larly, A61603 shifted the activation curve to the right, whereas Ang Ⅱ had no effect. In addition, both A61603 and PKCα activator peptide showed inhibitory action on bERG A PKC current （an bERG mutant in which 17 of the 18 ROSITE-predicted PKC acceptor serines/threonines were changed to alanine） with a similar potency to wild type bERG current. But, both Ang Ⅱ and PKCe-selective activator peptide exhibited no effects on bERG △ PKC cur- rent. The results indicated that PKCα and PKCe isoforms down-regulated bERG current through different mecha- nism. Conclusion PKCα and PKCe isoform respectively mediates the inhibition on IKr by stimulation of AT1R and alA-AR via different molecular mechanism.展开更多

文摘目的观察枸杞多糖(lycium bararum polysaccharides,LBP)对体外高压诱导调亡的视网膜神经节细胞(retinal ganglion cells,RGCs)钾电流的影响。方法生后2~3 d的SD乳大鼠RGCs原代培养,分为对照组、加压组和LBP组,对照组为常规培养6 d;加压组为常规培养6 d后用自行设计的加压装置加压1 h 80 mm Hg(1 k Pa=7.5 mm Hg);LBP组为常规培养5 d后,加入LBP共培养24 h后,再加压80 mm Hg 1 h。通过全细胞膜片钳技术观察各组钾电流、半数最大激活电压(V1/2)、斜率(K)、最大电导(Gmax)的变化。结果加压能使电流幅度显著增加,LBP能抑制加压引起的电流增加。在刺激电位为-10~60 m V时,加压组的电流密度明显大于对照组,差异有统计学意义(均为P<0.01,n=5/6);LBP组电流密度明显小于加压组,差异有统计学意义(均为P<0.01,n=6/8)。三组钾电流V1/2总体差异有统计学意义(F=55.60,P<0.01),加压组V1/2(11.65±1.30)m V与对照组(21.42±1.33)m V、LBP组(19.33±13.75)m V比较,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.01);LBP组V1/2与对照组V1/2比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。三组K值分别是17.09±1.24、16.58±1.18、18.13±1.29,总体差异无统计学意义(F=1.39,P>0.05)。三组Gmax总体差异有统计学意义(F=3.77,P<0.05),加压组Gmax(0.59±0.13)与对照组Gmax(0.46±0.06)、LBP组Gmax(0.46±0.07)比较,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05);LBP组Gmax与对照组Gmax比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 LBP能抑制加压引起的RGCs钾电流增加,对RGCs具有保护作用。
