title: Comparison between alpha-adrenergic- and K-opioidergic-mediated inositol (1,4,5)P3/inositol (1,3,4,5) P4 formation in adult cultured rat ventricular cardiomyocytes.
abstract: In adult cultured rat ventricular cardiac myocytes, both the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine and the selective kappa opioid receptor ligand U-50, 488H affected phosphoinositide turnover. Phenylephrine, over a time course of 10 min, caused a transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 which peaked at 1 min and had returned to control at 2 min. In addition, phenylephrine produced a progressive and sustained increase in the formation of Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 which achieved a plateau after 5 min of exposure to the agonist. U-50,488H induced an increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 which peaked at 1 min at a level significantly higher than that due to phenylephrine and was still elevated after 10 min exposure to the kappa opioid receptor agonist. In addition, U-50,488H caused a sustained increase in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 which was comparable to that due to phenylephrine. The stimulatory effects produced by phenylephrine and U-50,488H were receptor-mediated events, since they were fully antagonized by their respective antagonists, phentolamine or Mr-1452.
