The whole-cell patch clamp was employed to study Na+-K+ pump current (Ip) in acutely isolated myocytes. α-Adrenergic receptors were activated with noradrenaline (NA) after blocking β-adrenergic receptors with propranolol. Ip was measured as the current blocked by strophanthidin (Str). Activation of α-receptors by NA increased Ip in a concentration-dependent manner. The K0.5 depended on intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i), however maximal stimulation did not. At 15 nm[Ca2+]i the K0.5 was 219 nm NA whereas at 1.4 μm [Ca2+]i it was 3 nm. The voltage dependence of Ip was not shifted by NA at either high or low [Ca2+]i. At each voltage, maximal stimulation of Ip was 14–15 %. Staurosporine (St), an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), eliminated the α-receptor-mediated stimulation of Ip at either high or low[Ca2+]i. The stimulation of Ip was independent of changes in intracellular sodium or external potassium concentrations, and did not reflect a change in affinity for Str. Phenylephrine, methoxamine and metaraminol, three selective α1-adrenergic agonists, stimulate Ip in a similar manner to NA. Stimulation of Ip by NA was eliminated by prazosin, an α1-antagonist, but was unaffected by yohimbine, an α2-antagonist. We conclude noradrenaline activates ventricular α1-receptors, which are specifically coupled via PKC to increase Na+-K+ pump current. The sensitivity of the coupling is [Ca2+]i dependent, however the maximal increase in pump current is [Ca2+]i and voltage independent.
