Abstract
Many different neurotransmitters and hormones control intracellular signaling by regulating the production of the second messenger cAMP. The function of the broadly expressed adenylyl cyclases (ACs) 5 and 6 is regulated by either stimulatory or inhibitory G proteins. By analyzing a well-known rebound stimulation phenomenon after withdrawal of Gi protein in atrial myocytes, we discovered that AC5 and -6 are tightly regulated by the second messenger PIP3. By monitoring cAMP levels in real time by means of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors, we reproduced the rebound stimulation in a heterologous expression system specifically for AC5 or -6. Strikingly, this cAMP rebound stimulation was completely blocked by the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, both in atrial myocytes and in transfected human embryonic kidney cells. Similar effects were observed by heterologous expression of the PIP3 phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). However, general kinase inhibitors or inhibitors of Akt had no effect, suggesting a PIP3-dependent mechanism. These findings demonstrate the existence of a novel general pathway for regulation of AC5 and -6 activity via PIP3 that leads to pronounced alterations of cytosolic cAMP levels.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) induces a transient bradycardia in mammalian hearts through activation of an inwardly rectifying K(+) current (I(K(ACh))) in the atrium that shortens action potential duration (APD) in the atrium. We have investigated probable mechanisms and receptor-subtype specificity for S1P-induced negative inotropy in isolated adult mouse ventricular myocytes. Activation of S1P receptors by S1P (100 nM) reduced cell shortening by approximately 25% (vs. untreated controls) in field-stimulated myocytes. S1P(1) was shown to be involved by using the S1P(1)-selective agonist SEW2871 on myocytes isolated from S1P(3)-null mice. However, in these myocytes, S1P(3) can modulate a somewhat similar negative inotropy, as judged by the effects of the S1P(1) antagonist VPC23019. Since S1P(1) activates G(i) exclusively, whereas S1P(3) activates both G(i) and G(q), these results strongly implicate the involvement of mainly G(i). Additional experiments using the I(K(ACh)) blocker tertiapin demonstrated that I(K(ACh)) can contribute to the negative inotropy following S1P activation of S1P(1) (perhaps through G(ibetagamma) subunits). Mathematical modeling of the effects of S1P on APD in the mouse ventricle suggests that shortening of APD (e.g., as induced by I(K(ACh))) can reduce L-type calcium current and thus can decrease the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transient. Both effects can contribute to the observed negative inotropic effects of S1P. In summary, these findings suggest that the negative inotropy observed in S1P-treated adult mouse ventricular myocytes may consist of two distinctive components: 1) one pathway that acts via G(i) to reduce L-type calcium channel current, blunt calcium-induced calcium release, and decrease [Ca(2+)](i); and 2) a second pathway that acts via G(i) to activate I(K(ACh)) and reduce APD. This decrease in APD is expected to decrease Ca(2+) influx and reduce [Ca(2+)](i) and myocyte contractility.

Abstract
Blood plasma and serum contain factors that activate inwardly rectifying GIRK1/GIRK4 K+ channels in atrial myocytes via one or more non-atropine-sensitive receptors coupled to pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins. This channel is also the target of muscarinic M(2) receptors activated by the physiological release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerve endings. By using a combination of HPLC and TLC techniques with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight MS, we purified and identified sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP) and sphingosylphosphocholine (SPC) as the plasma and serum factors responsible for activating the inwardly rectifying K+ channel (I(K)). With the use of MS the concentration of SPC was estimated at 50 nM in plasma and 130 nM in serum; those concentrations exceeded the 1.5 nM EC(50) measured in guinea-pig atrial myocytes. With the use of reverse-transcriptase-mediated PCR and/or Western blot analysis, we detected Edg1, Edg3, Edg5 and Edg8 as well as OGR1 sphingolipid receptor transcripts and/or proteins. In perfused guinea-pig hearts, SPC exerted a negative chronotropic effect with a threshold concentration of 1 microM. SPC was completely removed after perfusion through the coronary circulation at a concentration of 10 microM. On the basis of their constitutive presence in plasma, the expression of specific receptors, and a mechanism of ligand inactivation, we propose that SPP and SPC might have a physiologically relevant role in the regulation of the heart.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to investigate: (1) the effect of supplementing the culture medium on preservation of L-type calcium channel current (1Ca,L) in adult rabbit ventricular myocytes cultured for 4 days; and (2) preservation of the ICa,L response in cultured myocytes to the beta-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult rabbit myocytes were cultured on laminin-pretreated glass coverslips. The basic, serum-free culture medium was supplemented with 2 mM L-carnitine, 5 mM creatine, and 5 mM taurine. Myocytes were whole cell patch-clamped, and the L-type Ca channel current was recorded selectively as Ba flux (IBa,L) via the channels. IBa,L density (i.e., IBa,L amplitude normalized to membrane capacitance) in myocytes maintained in supplemented medium did not change significantly during culture (P > 0.1). By comparison, IBa,L density in myocytes cultured in nonsupplemented medium declined by 36% after 24 hours in culture (day 1) and then recovered by the fourth day (day 4). There was no significant difference in the response to isoprenaline of acutely isolated myocytes and 4-day cultured myocytes. Isoprenaline 100 nM increased peak IBa,L by 149% +/- 32% (mean +/- SEM) in acutely isolated myocytes (n = 4 cells), and by 224% +/- 60% (n = 6 cells) and 159% +/- 24% (n = 8 cells) in day 1 and 4 cultured myocytes, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Supplemented medium improved IBa,L density in cultured myocytes. beta-Adrenergic receptors and intracellular messenger pathways appear to remain intact in adult rabbit myocytes cultured for up to 4 days.

Abstract
1. Desensitization of muscarinic K+ current (IK(ACh)) was studied in cultured atrial myocytes from guinea-pig hearts using whole-cell voltage clamp. 2. Three different types of desensitization could be identified. A fast component which upon rapid superfusion with ACh resulted in a partial relaxation of IK(ACh) within a few seconds to a plateau which was maintained in the presence of ACh. Recovery from this type of desensitization paralleled the decay of IK(ACh) after washout of the agonist. A second type of desensitization was observed within minutes. This was reversed around 10 min after washout of ACh. Both types were heterologous with regard to the A1 receptor and the novel phospholipid (Pl) receptor, both of which activate IK(ACh) via the same signalling pathway. 3. A third type of desensitization (downregulation) occurred upon exposure of the cultures for 24-48 h to the muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh). The level of downregulation depended on the concentration of CCh (0.1 microM < or = [CCh] < or = 10 microM). No recovery was observed within 5 h after washout of CCh. Thereafter sensitivity to ACh slowly returned (half-time (t1/2), approximately 20 h). 4. Downregulation by CCh (0.1-5 microM) was characterized by an increase in EC50 for ACh with no reduction in maximum IK(ACh). With 5 microM CCh, EC50 was increased from 0.1 to 3.7 microM. At 10 microM CCh EC50 was increased to 15 microM and maximal current that could be evoked by ACh was reduced to 15%. 5. Downregulation by CCh was homologous with regard to A1 and Pl receptors. Maximum IK(ACh), assayed by a saturating concentration of Pl, was not reduced in downregulated cells, suggesting a mechanism localized at the M2 receptor. 6. The changes in the concentration-response curves can be accounted for by assuming an excess of M2 receptors relative to the subsequent component of the signalling pathway. 7. As the intact heart is under tonic vagal control, downregulation is likely to contribute to controlling the sensitivity of the heart to vagal activity in situ.

Abstract
1. Activation of muscarinic K+ current (IK(ACh)) by sphingosine-1-phosphate (Sph-1-P) was studied in isolated cultured guinea-pig atrial myocytes using whole-cell voltage clamp. 2. Sph-1-P caused activation of IK(ACh) with an EC50 of 1.2 nM. The maximal current that could be activated by Sph-1-P amounted to about 90% of the IK(ACh) caused by a saturating concentration of acetylcholine (ACh, 10 microM). Sphingosine (1 microM), which can mimic the signalling effects of Sph-1-P in other cells, failed to cause measurable activation of IK(ACh). 3. IK(ACh) activation by Sph-1-P was completely suppressed in cells treated with pertussis toxin. 4. Desensitization of muscarinic receptors by pre-incubation of the cells with carbachol did not affect the response to Sph-1-P; likewise, pre-incubation of the cells with Sph-1-P resulted in a reduced sensitivity to the phospholipid but not to ACh. In contrast, pre-incubation with either Sph-1-P or a serum phospholipid previously described as activating atrial IK(ACh) resulted in reduced sensitivity to both phospholipids. 5. It is concluded that activation of IK(ACh) by Sph-1-P in atrial myocytes is induced by binding to a novel G protein-coupled phospholipid receptor.

Abstract
Atrial myocytes obtained by enzymatic perfusion of hearts from adult guinea-pigs and cultured for 0-14 days were studied using different configurations of the patch-clamp technique. Activation of muscarinic K current [IK(ACh)] in whole-cell voltage-clamp mode by strongly diluted sera from various sources could be mimicked by corresponding concentrations of albumin, but not by delipidated ("fatty-acid-free") samples of albumin. In cell-attached membrane patches activity of IK(ACh) channels was significantly higher than basal IK(ACh) channel activity, if the pipette contained serum, whereas application of serum-containing solution to the cell outside the patch did not affect channel activity. In isolated inside-out membrane patches, strong IK(ACh) activation by internal guanosine triphosphate (GTP, 5 microM) was observed if the pipette contained serum. If no activator was presented to the outer face of the membrane, only weak opening activity was observed during bath application of GTP. These results demonstrate that the serum factor which causes activation of IK(ACh) is associated with albumin. Furthermore activation of IK(ACh) by that factor proceeds analogous to ACh or adenosine, i.e. via a membrane-delimited receptor, G-protein, channel interaction.
