| Abstract | Phosphatidylionsitol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a substrate of phospholipase C, has recently been recognized to regulate membrane-associated proteins and act as a signal molecule in phospholipase C-linked Gq-coupled receptor (GqPCR) pathways. However, it is not known whether PIP2 depletion induced by GqPCRs can act as receptor-specific signals in native cells. We investigated this issue in cardiomyocytes where PIP2-dependent ion channels, G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) and inwardly rectifying background K+ (IRK) channels, and various GqPCRs are present. The GIRK current was recorded by using the patch-clamp technique during the application of 10 μM acetylcholine. The extent of receptor-mediated inhibition was estimated as the current decrease over 4 min while taking the GIRK current (I GIRK) value during a previous stimulation as the control. Each GqPCR agonist inhibited I GIRK with different potencies and kinetics. The extents of inhibition induced by phenylephrine, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, prostaglandin F2α, and bradykinin at supramaximal concentrations were (mean ± SE) 32.1 ± 0.6%, 21.9 ± 1.4%, 86.4 ± 1.6%, 63.7 ± 4.9%, and 5.7 ± 1.9%, respectively. GqPCR-induced inhibitions of I GIRK were not affected by protein kinase C inhibitor (calphostin C) but potentiated and became irreversible when the replenishment of PIP2 was blocked by wortmannin (phosphatidylinositol kinase inhibitor). Loading the cells with PIP2 significantly reduced endothelin-1 and prostaglandin F2α-induced inhibition of I GIRK. On the contrary, GqPCR-mediated inhibitions of inwardly rectifying background K+ currents were observed only when GqPCR agonists were applied with wortmannin, and the effects were not parallel with those on I GIRK. These results indicate that GqPCR-induced inhibition of ion channels by means of PIP2 depletion occurs in a receptor-specific manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
