EP receptor-mediated inhibition by prostaglandin E1of cardiac L-type Ca2+current of rabbits

Abstract: Prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) has cardioprotective effects on the ischemic-reperfused heart. To clarify the mechanisms underlying the protective action of PGE(1) on myocardium, we examined the effect of PGE(1) on the L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) using single atrial cells from rabbits. PGE(1) did not show a significant effect on basal I(Ca) but inhibited the I(Ca) prestimulated by isoproterenol (Iso, 30 nM). This inhibition was concentration dependent (EC(50) = 0.027 microM). Both sulprostone, a specific PGE rec… Show more

“…If this is occurring, exposure to PGE1 should antagonize or inhibit the stimulatory response to βAR activation. Consistent with this possibility, PGE1 has been reported to inhibit cAMP‐dependent regulation of Ca 2+ channel function in rabbit atrial myocytes (Yamamoto et al 1999). However, we found that exposure to 10 μ m PGE1 did not inhibit the stimulatory response to a submaximal concentration of Iso (Fig.…”

“…Although less common than upregulation, G-protein-dependent inhibition of L-type Ca 2ϩ channels is not totally unprecedented. A similar mechanism of L-type Ca 2ϩ channel inhibition has been demonstrated for the action of neuropeptide Y, somatostatin, galanin (Degtiar et al, 1997;Zeng et al, 1999), prostaglandins (Yamamoto et al, 1999), opioids, and catecholamines (Hernandez-Guijo et al, 1999). The long-lasting nature of the CART action may be surprising, considering the putative G-protein-dependent mechanism.…”

“…Interestingly, PGE 1 stimulation is known to protect myocardial tissue from injury following ischemia and reperfusion, 35 an effect that has been suggested to depend on PGE-mediated stimulation of EP 3 receptors in cardiac myocytes 36 and the consequent G i -mediated inhibition of cAMP synthesis. 37 In summary, the present work provides original insight into the mechanisms that underpin cAMP/PKA specificity of response by demonstrating that, in cardiac myocytes, both PKA-RI and PKA-RII isoforms subsets anchor to subcellular Figure 8. Model of PKA isoforms compartmentalization.…”
