The L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (L-VDCC) regulates calcium influx in cardiac myocytes. Activation of the beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) pathway causes phosphorylation of the L-VDCC and that in turn increases Ca(2+) influx. Targeted expression of the L-VDCC alpha(1) subunit in transgenic (Tg) mouse ventricles resulted in marked blunting of the betaAR pathway. Inotropic and lusitropic responses to isoproterenol and forskolin in Tg hearts were significantly reduced. Likewise, Ca(2+) current augmentation induced by iso- proterenol and forskolin was markedly depressed in Tg cardiomyocytes. Despite no change in betaAR number, isoproterenol-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was absent in Tg membranes and NaF and forskolin responses were reduced. We postulate an important pathway for regulation of the betaAR by Ca(2+) channels.
L型电压依赖性钙通道(L-VDCC)调节心肌细胞中的钙内流。β-肾上腺素能受体(βAR)途径的激活导致L-VDCC磷酸化,进而增加Ca(2+)内流。L-VDCC α(1)亚基在转基因(Tg)小鼠心室中的靶向表达导致βAR途径明显减弱。Tg心脏对异丙肾上腺素和福斯高林的变力性和变时性反应显著降低。同样,Tg心肌细胞中由异丙肾上腺素和福斯高林诱导的Ca(2+)电流增强也明显受到抑制。尽管βAR数量没有变化,但Tg细胞膜中异丙肾上腺素刺激的腺苷酸环化酶活性缺失,且对NaF和福斯高林的反应降低。我们推测Ca(2+)通道对βAR的调节存在一条重要途径。
