title: A possible role of tyrosine kinases in the regulation of muscarinic receptor-activated cation channels in guinea pig ileum.
abstract: We investigated the effects of inhibitors for tyrosine kinases and phosphatases on the muscarinic receptor-activated nonselective cationic current. With nystatin-perforated whole-cell recording, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (1 approximately 10 micrograms/ml) reduced the amplitude of currents evoked by iontophoretically applied acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner, the maximum inhibition being to about 46% of the control. In contrast, daidzein (10 micrograms/ml), an inactive analog of genistein, exerted little effect. These effects were unchanged when the cationic current was activated by internal perfusion of GTP gamma S (50 microM) bypassing the muscarinic receptor. A potent phosphatase inhibitor, orthovanadate (30 approximately 100 microM), on the other hand, increased the GTP gamma S-induced cationic current. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation may be essential to regulate the Ca mobilization associated with muscarinic receptor-operated nonselective cation channels.
