Abstract
The question that started with the pioneering work of Otto Loewi in the 1920s, to identify how stimulation of the vagus nerve decreased heart rate, is approaching its 100th year anniversary. In the meantime, we have learned that the neurotransmitter acetylcholine acting through muscarinic M2 receptors activates cardiac potassium (Kir3) channels via the βγ subunits of G proteins, an important effect that contributes to slowing atrial pacemaker activity. Concurrent stimulation of M1 or M3 receptors hydrolyzes PIP2, a signaling phospholipid essential to maintaining Kir3 channel activity, thus causing desensitization of channel activity and protecting the heart from overinhibition of pacemaker activity. Four mammalian members of the Kir3 subfamily, expressed in heart, brain, endocrine organs, etc., are modulated by a plethora of stimuli to regulate cellular excitability. With the recent great advances in ion channel structural biology, three-dimensional structures of Kir3 channels with PIP2 and the Gβγ subunits are now available. Mechanistic insights have emerged that explain how modulatory control of activity feeds into a core mechanism of channel-PIP2 interactions to regulate the conformation of channel gates. This complex but beautiful system continues to surprise us for almost 100 years with an apparent wisdom in its intricate design.

Abstract
Abstract
The chronotropic response of isolated right atria obtained from rats made diabetic 14–15 weeks previously by streptozotocin, was compared with age-matched controls. Diabetic rat atria are significantly more sensitive to the negative chronotropic actions of adenosine and of methacholine. Pretreating both control and diabetic rats with 2·5 mg kg−1 pertussis toxin attenuated the negative chronotropic effects of methacholine and adenosine on isolated atria, although diabetic atria still displayed a significantly greater sensitivity to these agonists (P < 0·05–0·001). The negative chronotropic effects of methacholine and adenosine on both control and diabetic atria were abolished following pretreatment with higher doses of pertussis toxin (10 mg kg−1). These results suggest that pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins may be involved in the supersensitivity of diabetic hearts to methacholine and adenosine.

Abstract
The inotropic response to muscarinic receptor stimulation of isolated chick ventricular myocardium was examined at various developmental stages, and the receptor subtype involved was pharmacologically characterized. In embryonic chick ventricles, carbachol (CCh) produced positive inotropy at micromolar concentrations. In hatched chick ventricles, CCh produced negative inotropy at nanomolar concentrations. Neither positive nor negative inotropy was observed in the 19 - 21-day-old embryos. Both positive and negative inotropy were also observed with acetylcholine and oxotremoline-M. The CCh-induced positive inotropy in 7 - 9-day-old embryonic ventricles and the negative inotropy in 1 - 3-day-old hatched chick ventricles were antagonized by muscarinic receptor antagonists; pA(2) values for the positive and negative responses of pirenzepine were 7.5 and 7.2, those of AF-DX116 (11-[(2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl)acetyl]-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4] benzodiazepine-6-one) were 6.8 and 6.9, those of 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine (4-DAMP) were 9.0 and 8.5, and those of himbacine were 7.0 and 8.0, respectively. CCh had no effect on action potential configuration. In conclusion, the positive inotropy is most likely mediated by muscarinic M(1) receptors and the negative inotropy is mostly likely mediated by muscarinic M(4) receptors.

Abstract
1. G protein betagamma subunits activate the acetylcholine-induced potassium current IK,ACh. There is no evidence of specificity at the level of the betagamma subunits. Therefore all G protein-coupled receptors in atrial myocytes should be able to activate IK,ACh. Paradoxically, it is often stated that isoprenaline does not activate IK,ACh. Rationales to explain this negative result include insufficient concentrations of Gs in the atrium or restricted access of Gs-derived betagamma subunits to the IK,ACh channel. We took advantage of a non-specific increase in Gs that results after infection with adenovirus. 2. Adenoviral infection unmasked a 1 microM isoprenaline-induced IK,ACh which was prevented by propranolol. Isoprenaline occasionally activated IK,ACh in uninfected and freshly dissociated atrial myocytes but the effect was larger and more consistent in infected myocytes. 3. Pertussis toxin pretreatment (100 ng ml-1 overnight) did not block the effect of isoprenaline. The effect of isoprenaline became persistent if cells were pretreated with cholera toxin (200 ng nl-1). 4. Signal transduction events distal to adenylyl cyclase were not involved in isoprenaline-induced IK,ACh. Forskolin (10 microM) did not activate IK,ACh. Inhibition of adenylyl cyclase with cytoplasmic application of 300 microM 2'-deoxyadenosine 3'-monophosphate did not prevent the activation of IK,ACh by isoprenaline. 5. Cytoplasmic application of a betagamma binding peptide derived from the C terminus of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (50 microM) prevented the effect of isoprenaline on IK,ACh. The peptide did not prevent the stimulation of the L-type calcium current by isoprenaline. 6. The results indicate that beta-adrenoceptors can activate IK,ACh in atrial myocytes through the release of betagamma subunits from Gs.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of autonomic nerve activation on electrophysiological properties of ischemic atrial myocardium, experiments were performed in 10 open chest adult dogs anesthetized with xylazine and alpha-chloralose. Ischemia was created in the right atrial free wall by ligation of one or more branches of the right coronary artery. Bipolar electrograms were recorded from multiple sites in the ischemic and non-ischemic zones. The atria were paced at 400 ms and 180 ms to assess conduction properties. One hour after ligation, delayed activation, electrogram fractionation, and electrogram alternans were observed in the ischemic zone. All local conduction abnormalities were heart rate dependent in that they were only observed at a pacing cycle length of 180 ms. The average duration of ischemic zone electrograms was significantly prolonged from 17.7+/-1.6 ms to 26.4+/-1.6 ms (P<0.001). Right and left vagal stimulation significantly shortened the electrogram duration in the ischemic zone from 26.4+/-1.6 ms to 19.7+/-1.1 ms (P<0.01) and 20.0+/-1.1 ms (P<0.01), respectively. Ischemia-induced electrogram alternans was eliminated completely. During right and left stellate stimulation, electrogram duration was not altered and alternans was still present. In conclusion, vagal stimulation in this canine model improves local conduction in ischemic myocardium in the right atrium. This effect may be mediated by a reversal of the ischemia-induced membrane depolarization and a shortening of refractoriness in the atrium during vagal activation.

Abstract
In order to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the inotropic effects of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor stimulation by high concentrations of muscarinic receptor agonists, we studied the effects of carbachol at 30-300 microM on the electrically induced [Ca2+]i transient of rat isolated ventricular myocytes. Carbachol at this dose range increased the amplitude and duration of the electrically induced [Ca2+]i transient time and dose dependently. It also increased the resting fluorescence ratio and time to 80% decline of amplitude from the peak. At 100-300 microM the increase in [Ca2+]i transient was followed by a cluster of Ca2+ oscillations in 50-83% of the cells studied. The effects were blocked by atropine, but not pertussis toxin. Depletion of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum by ryanodine, which itself reduced the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transient and increase resting fluorescence, abolished the effect of carbachol on the [Ca2+]i transient without affecting its effect on resting fluorescence ratio. The caffeine-induced [Ca2+]i transient was unaffected by prior addition of carbachol in a Ca2+ free and low Na+ solution. Inhibition of Ca2+ by the L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, verapamil, which itself reduced the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transient without affecting the resting fluorescence ratio, attenuated the augmentation of the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transient elicited by carbachol. Ni2+, a non-specific Ca2+ channel blocker and an inhibitor of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange, abolished the effects of carbachol on both [Ca2+]i transient and resting fluorescence ratio. Low external Na+, which increased the resting fluorescence ratio due to its inhibitory effect on Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange, also abolished the effects of carbachol. The results indicate that the inotropic effect of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor stimulation by high concentrations of a muscarinic receptor agonist may be due to an increase in the electrically induced [Ca2+]i transient in ventricular myocytes via a process which is not pertussis toxin sensitive. The increase in the electrically induced [Ca2+]i transient may result from increases in Na2(+)-Ca2+ exchange and influx of Ca2+ via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and mobilization of Ca2+ from the intracellular store. The mobilization of Ca2+ from the intracellular store is a secondary event. The study has provided for the first time that muscarinic acetylcholine receptor stimulation by high concentrations of carbachol increases Ca2+ influx via the Ca2+ channel and mobilization of Ca2+ from its intracellular store. The study has also demonstrated for the first time the occurrence of Ca2+ oscillations induced by high concentrations of carbachol.

Abstract
Carbachol (10(-6)-3X10(-4)M) induces a positive inotropic response in paced, pertussis toxin-treated fibers which is atropine-sensitive and independent of endogenous catecholamines. At the same concentrations in atria from saline-treated chicks, carbachol's negative inotropic effect on the steady state contractions (SSC) is attenuated and the rested state contraction (RSC) is increased. The RSC and SSC in pertussis toxin-treated fibers are increased by carbachol (EC50 = 30 microM) indicating that repetitive electrical depolarization is not essential for the inotropic response. The inotropic response of the SSC is frequency-independent from 0.10-1.0 Hz; however it is decreased (approximately 50%) at a high frequency (3.0 Hz). In control untreated atrial muscle, carbachol (10(-4)M) selectively increases the early component of the RSC. The late component of the RSC, representing activation of transmembrane Ca2+ inward current, is not changed. Carbachol's positive inotropic effect is perhaps exerted by enhancing Ca2+ release and/or Ca2+ content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The ability of various muscarinic agonists to induce a positive inotropic response was: carbachol > acetylcholine > oxotremorine. This order correlates with the ability of these agents to induce a tetrodotoxin-resistant Na+ inward current that increases intracellular Na+ and to promote phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the carbachol-induced positive inotropic response may result from greater intracellular Ca2+ availability secondary to enhanced Na-Ca exchange. The greater Ca2+ availability, together with increased production of the Ca-mobilizing messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), can exert a synergistic effect to regulate force generation.

Abstract
A study was made of the role of G proteins in the K+ conductance increases elicited by cholinergic and glutamatergic agonists in identified Aplysia neurons. The cholinergic response, previously shown to be G protein mediated, was occluded by dialysis with either nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs (GTP gamma S or Gpp(NH)p) or beryllium fluoride and was blocked by pertussis toxin as well as by dialysis with a nonhydrolyzable GDP analog (GDP beta S). In contrast, the glutamatergic response, studied simultaneously in the same cell, persisted throughout all of the above manipulations and hence does not appear to depend upon G protein activation. This characteristic differentiates the glutamatergic response from most other transmitter- or hormone-induced increases in K+ conductance elicited in either neurons or other cell types, whether vertebrate or invertebrate.

Abstract
The muscarinic agonist carbachol produced a concentration-dependent increase in 86Rb+ efflux and decrease in tension in isolated, electrically stimulated rabbit left atria. However, the lowest concentration of carbachol tested produced only a very small increase in 86Rb+ efflux, while it caused a relatively greater decrease in tension. 4-Aminopyridine and pertussis toxin attenuated the carbachol-stimulated 86Rb+ efflux and negative inotropic effect. However, 4-aminopyridine had a greater inhibitory effect on carbachol-stimulated 86Rb+ efflux than on carbachol-induced decreases in tension. Pre-treatment of rabbits with pertussis toxin completely abolished the increase in 86Rb+ efflux and decrease in tension produced by carbachol in the presence of the alpha-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine. 4-Aminopyridine attenuated the negative inotropic response to carbachol in the presence of phenylephrine, but had less effect on the carbachol-induced increase in 86Rb+ efflux under these conditions. These results suggest that carbachol-induced increases in K+ efflux may contribute at least in part to the negative inotropic responses to carbachol in the presence and absence of phenylephrine. However, this may not be sufficient to explain the direct negative inotropic response of left atria to carbachol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiadrenergic effects of adenosine and carbachol on beta-adrenoceptor-stimulated human ventricular contractility in vivo. In addition, the antiadrenergic effects of adenosine and carbachol were compared in vitro. BACKGROUND Adenosine is reported to exhibit an antiadrenergic negative inotropic response in the beta-adrenergic-stimulated ventricular myocardium in vitro. The effect of adenosine is similar to the antiadrenergic effect of m-cholinoceptor stimulation in vitro. METHODS The inotropic response in vivo was assessed in seven healthy volunteers by M-mode echocardiography and simultaneous blood pressure monitoring. It was calculated as the increase in the rate-corrected velocity of circumferential fiber shortening and in the systolic pressure/dimension ratio. All volunteers received pretreatment with 450 mg of dipyridamole/day for 48 h. In addition, the effects of adenosine and carbachol in the presence of 0.03 mumol/liter of isoproterenol on cumulative concentration-response curves of isolated, electrically driven human ventricular muscle strips were compared in vitro (n = 13). RESULTS The positive inotropic response to continuous infusion of 20 ng/kg per min of isoproterenol (increase of rate-corrected velocity of circumferential fiber shortening [10.2 +/- 2.1% x square root of beats/min per ms] and increase of systolic pressure/dimension ratio 1.09 +/- 0.3 mm Hg/mm) was significantly (p < 0.01) reduced by 3.6 micrograms/kg body weight of intravenous carbachol (4.2 +/- 1.2% x square root of beats/min per ms, 0.21 +/- 0.18 mm Hg/mm) but not by 50 micrograms/kg of intravenous adenosine (8.2 +/- 3.1% x square root of beats/min per ms, 1.35 +/- 0.42 mm Hg/mm), although adenosine induced a significant negative dromotropic effect. In vitro comparison of force of contraction with cumulative concentration-response curves in the presence of 0.03 mumol/liter of isoproterenol demonstrated an EC50 value (concentration producing half-maximal effect) for adenosine 466 times higher than that for carbachol (65.3 vs. 0.14 mumol/liter, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In contrast to carbachol, adenosine does not attenuate the catecholamine-induced increase in contractility in the human ventricle in vivo. These differences between the A1-adenosine receptor- and m-cholinoceptor-mediated effects could be due to fewer A1-adenosine receptors or a less efficient receptor-effector coupling, or both.

Abstract
The modulatory effects of pertussis toxin pretreatment on responses mediated via beta-adrenoceptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors were investigated in isolated rat hearts and aortic rings 4 days after in vivo administration of pertussis toxin. In isolated hearts, pertussis toxin increased heart weight and baseline coronary flow values but did not effect baseline left ventricular pressure values. In unpaced hearts, pertussis toxin inhibited the arecoline-induced cardiac standstill, while in paced hearts, the beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist salbutamol produced a dose-dependent vasodilation with similar characteristics in pertussis toxin and control preparations. Pertussis toxin had no effect on myocardial or aortic cyclic nucleotide levels and the myocardial beta-adrenoceptor density (Bmax) and dissociation constant (Kd). In precontracted aortic rings, pertussis toxin had no effect on the salbutamol or arecoline induced vasorelaxation. In summary, we demonstrated a reduced cholinergic responsiveness in isolated hearts but an intact beta 2-adrenoceptor pathway in isolated hearts as well as in isolated aortic rings after pertussis toxin pretreatment. In aortic rings no change in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor responsiveness occurred.

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.

Abstract
At least five muscarinic receptor genes have been cloned and expressed. Muscarinic receptors act via activation of G proteins: m1, m3 and m5 muscarinic receptors couple to stimulate phospholipase C, while m2 and m4 muscarinic receptors inhibit adenylyl cyclase. This review describes the localization, pharmacology and function of the five muscarinic receptor subtypes. The actions of muscarinic receptors on the heart, smooth muscle, glands and on neurons (both presynaptic and postsynaptic) in the autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system are analyzed in terms of subtypes, biochemical mechanisms and effects on ion channels, including K+ channels and Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Ion channels are signaling molecules and by themselves perform no work. In this regard they are unlike the usual membrane enzyme effectors for G proteins. The pathways of G protein receptor, G protein and ion channels are, therefore, purely informational in function. Because a single G protein may have several ion channels as effectors, the effects should be coordinated and this seems to be the case. Inhibition of Ca2+ current and stimulation of K+ currents would have a greater impact than either alone. Additional flexibility is provided by spontaneous noise in the complexes of G protein receptor, G protein, and ion channel. By having a non-zero setpoint, the range of control is extended and the responses become bi-directional.

Abstract
We have investigated the relationship between muscarinic agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and electrophysiological responses in rat hippocampal slice preparations. In a previous extracellular study, we found that muscarinic agonists at concentrations that stimulate PI hydrolysis result in a biphasic firing response; an initial increase in firing followed by loss of firing at higher concentrations. To test the hypothesis that variability in obtaining consistent loss of firing is related to depletion of intracellular inositol, we investigated the effects of adding exogenous inositol to the buffer. We now report that concentrations of inositol similar to those in cerebral spinal fluid (30-100 microM) augment carbamylcholine (carbachol, CCh) mediated loss of firing and [3H]inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate ([3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) formation. Inhibition of firing produced by 30 microM CCh in the presence of inositol was associated with a sustained depolarization of 20-25 mV, an increased slope resistance in the depolarized range (-60 to -40 mV), and a parallel shift in the hyperpolarized (-100 to -70 mV) range of the voltage-current curve and increased frequency of spontaneous IPSPs. Under voltage-clamp, measurements of the M-current (IM) showed sustained inactivation by CCh with reversal after washout of CCh. Manual depolarization of cells by current injection to the same level of depolarization as attained with CCh did not usually lead to the same loss of firing. These findings suggest that IM, and possibly other voltage-independent currents or ion pumps, may cause loss of firing only in part through a depolarization blockade of firing and not through desensitization. Furthermore, CCh treatment without inositol did not depolarize neurons as much as CCh with inositol, and usually did not cause a delayed loss of firing. Brain slice preparations may thus require physiological concentrations of inositol to show consistent or maximum phosphoinositide-mediated electrophysiological responses.

Abstract
Beta-Adrenoceptor agonists activate a time- and voltage-independent Cl- conductance in mammalian cardiac myocytes. To characterize the cellular signaling pathways underlying its regulation, wide-tipped pipettes fitted with a pipette perfusion device were used to record whole-cell current and to introduce nucleotides to the interior of guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Replacement of pipette GTP with GDP beta S prevented activation of the Cl- conductance by Iso, suggesting a requirement for G protein turnover. With GTP in the pipette, the effect of Iso could be abolished by the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol, and mimicked by histamine or forskolin. These actions of Iso and forskolin are mediated exclusively via cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), because (a) maximal activation of the Cl- conductance by forskolin or pipette cAMP occluded the effect of Iso, and (b) switching to pipette solution containing a synthetic peptide inhibitor (PKI) of PKA completely abolished the Cl- conductance activated by Iso and prevented the action of forskolin, but had no further effect. These results argue against basal activation of the Cl- conductance, and make it extremely unlikely that the stimulatory G protein, Gs, has any direct, phosphorylation-independent influence. The muscarinic receptor agonists acetylcholine (ACh) and carbachol diminished, in a reversible manner, Cl- conductance activated by Iso or forskolin, but not that elicited by cAMP. The muscarinic inhibition was abolished by replacing pipette GTP with GDP beta S, or by preincubating cells with pertussis toxin (PTX), and was therefore mediated by an inhibitory G protein, presumably Gi, influencing adenylyl cyclase activity. Nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues (GTP gamma S or GppNHp) applied via the pipette did not themselves activate Cl- conductance, but rendered Cl- current activation by brief exposures to Iso or histamine, but not to forskolin, irreversible. The Cl- conductance persistently activated by Iso was insensitive to propranolol or ACh, but could still be abolished by pipette application of PKI. The data indicate that stimulation of beta-adrenergic or histaminergic receptors in the presence of nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues causes persistent activation of Gs and uncouples it from the receptors. We conclude that autonomic regulation of cardiac Cl- conductance reflects accurately the underlying modulation of adenylyl cyclase activity and, hence, that this system is a suitable mammalian model for in situ studies of the interactions between adenylyl cyclase, Gs, Gi, and forskolin.

Abstract
The muscarinic agonist carbachol antagonized positive inotropic responses of rabbit left atria to the beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoproterenol, the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX. Carbachol also reduced cAMP levels elevated by isoproterenol, but had no significant effect on cAMP levels in the presence of either forskolin or IBMX. Pre-treatment of rabbits with a dose of pertussis toxin which completely blocked the reduction by carbachol of isoproterenol-induced increases in cAMP, also blocked the reversal by carbachol of positive inotropic responses to isoproterenol, but only partially attenuated the antagonism by carbachol of inotropic responses to forskolin and IBMX. These data suggest that antagonism by carbachol of forskolin and IBMX-induced increases in cAMP levels does not play an important role in the functional interaction of carbachol with these cAMP-elevating agents.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotide binding proteins couple a wide variety of receptors to ion channels via both "direct" or membrane-delimited and "indirect" second messenger-mediated pathways. This tutorial summarizes current approaches to defining the mechanisms of guanine nucleotide binding protein-mediated ion channel activation. Two well-characterized ion channels in the heart, namely, the beta-adrenergic receptor-activated calcium channel and the muscarinic receptor-activated potassium channel, are used to illustrate the criteria that can distinguish between direct and indirect guanine nucleotide binding protein-transduced pathways.

Abstract
1. The role of activation of potassium conductance in the antagonism by the muscarinic agonist carbachol of positive inotropic responses to alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor stimulation was studied in electrically driven left atrial strips of the rabbit. 2. The potassium channel antagonist, 4-aminopyridine, attenuated the direct negative inotropic response to carbachol and the reversal by carbachol of positive inotropic responses to the alpha-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (in the presence of timolol). The inhibitory effect of carbachol on positive inotropic responses to the beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline was much less affected by 4-aminopyridine. 3. Pretreatment of rabbits with pertussis toxin also attenuated the direct negative inotropic response to carbachol and the inhibitory effect of carbachol on positive inotropic responses to phenylephrine. 4. Neither carbachol nor phenylephrine, alone or in combination, had any effect on left atrial adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels. 5. The potassium channel agonist, pinacidil, exerted a dose-dependent negative inotropic response in rabbit left atria and reversed positive inotropic responses to phenylephrine and isoprenaline. In the dose-range tested, pinacidil had a greater inhibitory effect on positive inotropic responses to phenylephrine than on positive inotropic responses to isoprenaline. 6. Pretreatment of left atria with pinacidil or cromakalim, another potassium channel agonist, antagonized positive inotropic responses to phenylephrine but not to isoprenaline. 7. These results suggest that activation of potassium conductance plays an important role in the inhibition by carbachol of positive inotropic responses of rabbit left atria to phenylephrine but not to isoprenaline.

Abstract
A brief outline of the ontogenesis of cholinergic neuroeffector transmission in the embryonic chick heart is given. It is important to define the development of neuroeffector transmission to evaluate the possible effects on postjunctional membrane properties. The membrane response of the aneural chick heart undergoes a qualitative change to muscarinic agonist at a time well before cholinergic innervation. This suppressed response can be revealed later in life, even in adults, when provision is made to exclude Gi/Go and or K channel activity.

Abstract
1. Calcium currents (ICa) were measured in single cells isolated from frog ventricle using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and a perfused pipette. The dose-dependent stimulatory effects of isoprenaline (Iso, 0.1-100 microM) and forskolin (Fo. 0.1-50 microM) on ICa were determined in the presence and absence of acetylcholine (ACh, 10 microM) and/or threshold concentrations of Fo (0.2 microM) and Iso (0.05 microM), respectively. EC50 (i.e. concentration of Iso or Fo at which the response was 50% of the maximum) and Emax (i.e. maximal stimulation of Ica expressed as percentage increase in ICa with respect to control) were measured under each condition. 2. ACh increased EC50 for the stimulatory action of Iso on ICa from 0.84 to 3.72 microM while it reduced Emax from 658 to 185%. Thus, ACh mainly reduced the efficacy of Iso to stimulate ICa. 3. ACh increased EC50 for the stimulatory action of Fo on ICa from 2.06 to 10.26 microM but only slightly reduced Emax from 893 to 778%. Thus, ACh mainly reduced the potency of Fo to stimulate ICa. 4. Intracellular perfusion with 100 microM of hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogues, GTP-gamma-S [guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)] and Gpp (NH)p (5'-guanylylimido-diphosphate), had no effect on basal ICa but reduced by greater than 50% the stimulatory effect of 2 microM-Iso on ICa. 5. In the presence of Gpp(NH)p or GTP-gamma-S, Fo (3 microM) reversibly increased ICa by 490%, as compared to a 717% increase in control (GTP) intracellular solution. Although ACh could still inhibit Fo-stimulated ICa, the degree of inhibition was significantly smaller than in the presence of GTP. 6. Extracellular perfusion with low concentrations of a combination of Iso (33 nM) and Fo (330 nM) enhanced ICa to a much greater extent than did either agent alone at 3 times higher concentrations. Thus, low concentrations of Iso and Fo appear to increase ICa in a synergistic fashion. 7. ICa stimulated by a combination of Iso and Fo appeared to be more resistant to inhibition by ACh than when stimulated by either alone. It was the efficacy, rather than the potency, of ACh to inhibit ICa that was reduced upon dual stimulation of ICa. 8. In the presence of 0.2 microM-Fo, EC50 and Emax for the effects of Iso on ICa were 0.27 microM and 619%, respectively. By comparison with the effects of Iso alone, Fo reduced EC50 approximately 3 times with no significant change in maximal stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Processes involved in activation of the acetylcholine (ACh) receptor-operated K+ current (IK) were examined in atrial cells isolated from guinea pig using a "concentration-clamp" technique. This approach allows for the intracellular perfusion and the rapid change of external solution (time constant 4 ms) with cell-attached condition under a single-electrode voltage-clamp condition. The ACh-induced IK increased in a sigmoidal fashion with increasing concentrations of ACh. The Ka value estimated from the concentration-response curve was 3 X 10(-7) M, and the Hill coefficient was 1.0. The activation phase was accelerated not only by increasing the concentration of ACh but also by elevating the temperature. Before activation of the current, there was a brief latent period after the application of ACh. The latent period was shortened considerably with the increase in ACh concentration and in temperature, i.e., 267 +/- 20 ms at 18 degrees C, 98 +/- 11 ms at 26 degrees C, and 44 +/- 6 ms at 37 degrees C for 10(-6) M ACh. These results suggest that the latent period of ACh response seems to be the time lag needed for the activation of K+ channels using remote sensor.

Abstract
1. In the presence of either barium (0.2 mM) or caesium (20 mM), carbachol (3-300 microM) depolarized isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Carbachol induced an inward current under voltage clamp at a holding potential equal to the resting potential (-75 mV). 2. Acetylcholine and oxotremorine also evoked an inward current but were less effective than carbachol. Atropine (0.3 microM) prevented the depolarization and inward current induced by carbachol and acetylcholine but not by oxotremorine. Moreover, oxotremorine, but not carbachol, induced an inward current in the absence of extracellular sodium. 3. Carbachol increased membrane chord conductance when it induced an inward current. These effects were recorded under experimental conditions that suppressed the voltage- and time-dependent sodium current (tetrodotoxin) and calcium current (cadmium), the inwardly rectifying potassium current, iK1 (caesium, barium and tetraethylammonium) and the current generated by the sodium-potassium pump (zero external potassium). 4. Under these same experimental conditions, the steady-state I-V relationship in the presence of carbachol was subtracted from that in its absence. The apparent reversal potential (Erev) was 25 mV with extracellular Na+ ([ Na+]o) at 143 mM and intracellular Na+ ([Na+]i) at 11 mM. Replacement of [Na+]o by N-methyl-D-glucamine was associated with a shift of the apparent Erev to more negative voltages by approximately 61 mV per tenfold change of [Na+]o. 5. Isoprenaline induced an inward current in ventricular myocytes that depended upon sodium entry, required the accumulation of cyclic AMP and which was partially suppressed by acetylcholine (Egan, Noble, Noble, Powell, Twist & Yamaoka, 1988). In contrast to the current evoked by beta-adrenoceptor agonist, the current induced by muscarinic agonist was smaller and sustained. Moreover, the carbachol-induced current was not suppressed by prior addition of isoprenaline. 6. The findings are consistent with the mechanism that carbachol activates a plasma membrane ion channel that admits sodium and thereby increases intracellular sodium activity. The estimated increase of intracellular sodium activity from electrophysiological data agrees quantitatively with that obtained from measurements with sodium-sensitive microelectrodes (Korth & Kühlkamp, 1985). 7. The ability of carbachol to increase sodium influx may be the first step in a series of reactions that eventually alters sodium-calcium exchange and could account for catecholamine-independent stimulation of developed force in mammalian ventricle.

Abstract
The influence of pertussis toxin on the effects of adenosine, the adenosine receptor agonist (-)-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) and the m-cholinoceptor agonist carbachol on heart rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction was investigated in spontaneously beating isolated perfused guinea-pig hearts. In addition, the effects of the agents on the electrocardiogram recorded from anesthetized guinea pigs were studied. Adenosine (0.1-100 mumol/l) and PIA (0.001-100 mumol/l) had concentration-dependent negative chronotropic and negative dromotropic effects. These effects were prevented by pretreatment of the animals with pertussis toxin (150 micrograms/kg; i.v.). Carbachol (0.001-100 mumol/l) had similar cardiac depressant effects. These effects were also abolished by pertussis toxin. In contrast, the negative chronotropic and negative dromotropic effects of the calcium antagonist verapamil which was investigated for comparison were not influenced by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. Since the cardiac depressant effects mediated via adenosine receptors or via m-cholinoceptors are most probably due to an activation of a K+ conductance, it is concluded that both receptors in the sinus node and in the AV node may be coupled via a common pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein to the K+ channel. It remains to be elucidated whether an additional inhibitory coupling to Ca2+ channels also plays a role.

Abstract
1. The effects of internal Mg2+ ions on the muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor-mediated K+ currents were investigated in single atrial cells of guinea-pigs, using the whole-cell and inside-out modes of the patch-clamp technique. 2. During cell dialysis in the whole-cell-clamp condition, the depletion of internal Mg2+ increased outward muscarinic K+ currents but decreased inward currents, thereby reducing the inwardly rectifying property of the channels. 3. When inside-out patches were prepared, channel availability was abolished and was reactivated by internal application of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) or its non-hydrolysable analogue, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (GppNHp), in the presence of Mg2+. GppNHp led to a recovery of the channels also in the nominal absence of Mg2+ (0[Mg2+]i). 4. The activation of single-channel currents by intracellular GTP and Mg2+ was dose-dependent. Both concentration-response curves were fitted by saturation kinetics with Hill coefficients of 1, and the half-maximum doses were 24 +/- 8 microM for GTP and 67 +/- 14 microM for Mg2+. The effects of Mg2+ on activation of K+ currents were additive with those of GTP, suggesting the presence of two independent binding sites for GTP and Mg2+. 5. The single-channel conductance became virtually ohmic when measured at nominally zero [Mg2+]i while GppNHp was used to recover the channel activity. Micromolar [Mg2+]i reduced the unitary amplitude of single open-channel currents in a dose- and voltage-dependent manner, showing half-blocking doses of 293 microM at +40 mV and 115 microM at +60 mV. 6. Voltage-dependent kinetics of Mg2+ block were described using equations based on Eyring rate theory (Woodbury, 1971; Hille, 1984), where the coefficient for voltage dependence (delta) was 0.63. 7. Intracellular Mg2+, at a physiological concentration, has a dual action on the muscarinic K+ channel: first Mg2+ activates the channel in the presence of GTP through GTP-binding proteins (G proteins), and secondly it blocks outward currents through the channel, thereby causing the inwardly rectifying property.

Abstract
1. The action of acetylcholine (ACh) on the hyperpolarization-activated ('pacemaker') current if was studied in single myocytes from the sino-atrial (SA) node region of the rabbit heart, where low doses of ACh slow spontaneous activity by prolonging the diastolic depolarization phase. 2. Besides activating an outward component at voltages positive to the K+ equilibrium potential (iK,ACh), ACh depressed the current if activated on hyperpolarization at concentrations in the range 0.03-1 microM. 3. The ACh-dependent if depression was dissected from modifications of iK,ACh by blocking iK,ACh with barium and was studied under conditions that minimized the interference of other current changes caused by ACh. 4. The study of if modification by ACh with three-pulse protocols and the measurement of fully activated I-V relations of if with and without ACh revealed that ACh acted on if by shifting the current activation range to more negative voltages, with no obvious alteration of the fully activated current amplitude. 5. The action of ACh on if was opposite to that caused by catecholamines. The presence of isoprenaline (IP) did not prevent ACh inhibition of if, nor did the presence of ACh prevent the if stimulation caused by IP. The effects of IP and ACh on if were additive. 6. The ACh-induced inhibition of if was reversed by addition of atropine and could be mimicked by muscarine, indicating that muscarinic receptors mediate it.

Abstract
1. The effects of acetylcholine (ACh) on developed tension and intracellular Ca2+ concentration (as measured with aequorin) were studied in ferret papillary muscles, and on twitch shortening, the action potential and membrane currents in ferret ventricular myocytes. 2. Addition of ACh to ferret papillary muscles resulted in decreases in developed tension and the intracellular Ca2+ transient, both of which then partially recovered in the continued presence of ACh ('fade' of the response). On wash-off of ACh both developed tension and the intracellular Ca2+ transient increased above control ('rebound') before returning to control values. 3. Addition of ACh to ferret ventricular myocytes resulted in a membrane hyperpolarization of 2 +/- 0.5 mV (mean +/- S.E.M.; n = 9), a decrease in action potential duration to 23 +/- 6% of control and a decrease in twitch shortening to 31 +/- 5% of control. In the continued presence of ACh these responses to ACh faded. Thirty seconds after the maximal effect of ACh, action potential duration had partially recovered to 34 +/- 6% of control and twitch shortening to 46 +/- 7% of control. 4. The effects of ACh on twitch shortening could be mimicked under voltage clamp by varying voltage clamp pulse duration to simulate the ACh-induced changes in action potential duration. 5. When ACh was applied during a train of voltage clamp pulses of constant duration, 81% of the cells showed less than a 20% decrease in Ca2+ current and twitch shortening. However in 19% of the cells twitch shortening and the apparent Ca2+ current decreased by more than 30%. 6. In the 81% of cells, the normal decrease in twitch shortening was wholly the result of the shortening of the action potential. This in turn was the result of an increase in an outward background current which increased the rate of repolarization during the action potential. The ACh-induced background current reversed at -89 +/- 2 mV and showed inward-going rectification; these properties suggest that it was carried by K+. 7. In the 19% of cells, the normal decrease in twitch shortening was only partly the result of the shortening of the action potential (due to both the increase in outward background current as well as the apparent decrease in Ca2+ current). In these cells the decrease in twitch shortening may also have been partly the direct result of the apparent decrease of Ca2+ current.

Abstract
The activated heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein Gk, at subpicomolar concentrations, mimics muscarinic stimulation of a specific atrial potassium current. Reconstitution studies have implicated the alpha and beta gamma subunits as mediators, but subunit coupling by the endogenous G protein has not been analyzed. To study this process, a monoclonal antibody (4A) that binds to alpha k but not to beta gamma was applied to the solution bathing an inside-out patch of atrial membrane; the antibody blocked carbachol-activated currents irreversibly. The state of the endogenous Gk determined its susceptibility to block by the antibody. When agonist was absent or when activation by muscarinic stimulation was interrupted by withdrawal of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in the presence or absence of guanosine diphosphate (GDP), the effects of the antibody did not persist. Thus, monoclonal antibody 4A blocked muscarinic activation of potassium channels by binding to the activated G protein in its holomeric form or by binding to the dissociated alpha subunit.

Abstract
Chronic membrane depolarization results in an increase in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) number in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. Because the mAChR interacts with the guanine nucleotide binding regulatory (G) proteins, Gi and Go, the effect of chronic membrane depolarization on the levels of subunits of these G proteins was examined. Quantitation of G protein subunit levels was performed using affinity-purified, monospecific antibodies in a quantitative immunoblot assay. Incubation with 50 microM veratridine (VTN), an activator of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels, induced a 48 +/- 15% increase in the level of the alpha subunit of Go. The effect of VTN was blocked by tetrodotoxin. On removal of VTN, the level of Go alpha decreased to control levels within 24 h. The levels of the alpha subunit of Gi and the common beta subunit were not affected by VTN treatment. These results show that in N1E-115 cells, the level of the alpha subunit of Go is regulated in a manner similar to the level of mAChR in response to chronic membrane depolarization.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotides play a central role in the modulation of ion channels in a variety of tissues, including the heart. In order to determine the possible role of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in the regulation of the background K channel activity of cardiac cells, the effect of 8-Br-cGMP on the inwardly-rectifying K channels of cultured ventricular myocytes from embryonic chick hearts was examined. 8-Br-cGMP (10(-4) to 10(-3) M) inhibited these single channel currents within 3 to 10 min. Spontaneous recovery of the currents occurred with prolonged (greater than or equal to 15 min) exposure to 8-Br-cGMP, but this recovery was accompanied by altered channel behavior. Thus, a new long-lasting open state of the channel appeared, in addition to the open state observed prior to 8-Br-cGMP addition. Superfusion of the cells with the muscarinic agonist carbamylcholine (10(-5) M) also resulted in inhibition of the currents, which suggests that the cGMP-mediated inhibition of these channels may occur under physiological conditions. Thus, it appears that cGMP may be an important modulator of the background K conductance (and excitability) of cardiac cells.

Abstract
The regulation of voltage-activated Ca2+ current by acetylcholine was studied in single freshly dissociated smooth muscle cells from the stomach of the toad Bufo marinus by using the tight-seal whole-cell recording technique. Ca2+ currents were elicited by positive-going command pulses from a holding level near -80 mV in the presence of internal Cs+ to block outward K+ currents. Ca2+ current was greatest in magnitude at command potentials near 10 mV. At such command potentials, acetylcholine increased the magnitude of the inward current and slowed its decay. The effects of acetylcholine were seen in the absence of external Na+ or with low Cl- (aspartate replacement) in the bathing solution and could be mimicked by muscarine. The peak of the current-voltage relationship for the Ca2+ current was not discernibly shifted along the voltage axis by acetylcholine. These results demonstrate that activation of muscarinic receptors not only suppresses a K+ current (M-current), as we have previously demonstrated [Sims, S. M., Singer, J. J. & Walsh, J. V., Jr. (1985) J. Physiol. (London) 367, 503-529], but also increases the magnitude and slows the decay of Ca2+ current.

Abstract
We injected rats with pertussis toxin, known to cause ADP ribosylation of the Gi regulatory protein of the adenylate cyclase complex and of another closely related GTP binding protein in the heart, and after 7 days we examined several effects of muscarinic activation on the heart. The negative chronotropic effect of carbamoylcholine on spontaneously beating perfused hearts was conspicuously diminished. While 10(-5) mol/l carbamoylcholine invariably produced heart arrest in control rats, the heart rate did not decrease by more than 20% in the toxin-treated rats even when the concentration of carbamoylcholine was raised to 10(-2) mol/l. The negative inotropic effect of carbamoylcholine examined on electrically paced ventricles perfused with isoproterenol was reduced, while the maximum positive inotropic effect of isoproterenol was substantially increased after toxin treatment. The inhibitory action of carbamoylcholine on the isoproterenol-stimulated accumulation of cyclic AMP in the heart auricles was attenuated. The weakening by pertussis toxin of the negative inotropic effect of carbamoylcholine is probably mainly due to the ADP ribosylation of the Gi regulatory protein and the subsequent loss of influence of muscarinic receptors on adenylate cyclase. The blockade of the negative chronotropic action of carbamoylcholine by pertussis toxin strongly indicates, together with other recently published evidence, that the Gi or another closely related GTP binding protein in the cardiac pacemaker cells is involved in the coupling of muscarinic receptors to the K+ channels.

Abstract
Recently, a GTP-binding protein sensitive to islet activating protein (IAP) has been suggested to be important in producing K+-currents when the muscarinic receptor of the atrial muscle is activated by acetylcholine (ACh). Here we confirm the blocking effects of IAP and GTP gamma S (a nonhydrolysable analogue of GTP) on the ACh-induced K+-current recorded from the ganglion cells of the sea slug Aplysia and compare their effects on histamine (HA)-induced and dopamine (DA)-induced K+-currents. Intracellular injections of IAP irreversibly and selectively block the openings of K+-channels activated by either ACh, HA, or DA without affecting the resting potential or conductance states of the membranes. Intracellular application of GTP gamma S alone caused extremely slow, irreversible opening of K+-channels; however, repetitive receptor activations significantly increase the rate of the GTP gamma S effect. These results strongly suggest that a GTP-binding protein such as Gi regulates the opening of K+-channels coupled with these receptors.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying activation of a K+ channel by adenosine (Ado) and acetylcholine (ACh) were examined in single atrial cells of guinea-pig. Whole cell clamp and patch clamp techniques were used to characterize the K+ channel. In the whole cell clamp conditions, Ado and ACh increased the K+ channel current in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum responses and the apparent dissociation constants were different for Ado and ACh activations of the current. Theophylline blocked activation of the K+ current by Ado, while atropine blocked ACh-activation, indicating that two different membrane receptors were involved. Measurements of the conductance and kinetic properties of both whole cell and single channel currents indicate that Ado and ACh regulate the same K+ channels. In "inside-out" patch conditions, GTP was required in the intracellular side of the membrane for activation of the K+ channel by agonists (present in the patch electrode). The A promoter of pertussis toxin inhibited the channel activation only when NAD was also present. Furthermore, GTP-gamma S, a non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue, gradually caused activation of the K+ channel in the absence of agonists. Therefore, it was concluded that Ado and m-ACh receptors link with the same population of K+ channels via GTP-binding proteins Ni and/or No in the atrial cell membrane.
