Outward membrane currents were characterized in single coronary smooth muscle cells of adult beagle dogs. The cells averaged 96.4×7.1 fim and had a resting potential of −50.7 mV, an input resistance of 307.9 MΩ, a capacitance of 323 pF, and a calculated membrane surface area of 4,037 μm2. The cells contracted in response to external application of acetylcholine or high K+. In voltage clamp by use of the suction pipette method, outward current began to appear at -50 mV and reached 15.2 nA at 50 mV with a current density of 376.5 μA/cm2. The current was reduced by external tetraethylammonium, Ba2+, and internal Cs+, and its reversal potential had a Nernst relation to external K+ concentration. Elevation of external Ca2+ (Ca2+ 0) from 0 to 0.3 mM increased total K+ current by up to 300%; elevation of internal Ca2+ (Ca2+,) to 5×10−7 M by internal perfusion increased total outward current to a similar extent, suggesting a large difference in Ca2+ transmembrane sensitivity. Total whole-cell K+ current consisted of two components: an initial time-independent current (Ii) followed by a time-dependent current (It. Ii and It were through separate K+ channels based on differences in a) sensitivity to Ca2+ O, b) modulation by an inward Ca2+ current, c) current amplitudes and activation kinetics, and d) responses to pharmacological agents. I, was the largest component, measuring 4.5 nA in 0 mM Ca o but increasing to 11.9 nA in 03 mM Ca2+ O with a steep 2.5 power function. It activated with a biexponential time course; in Ca2+ o-free solution, its time course was relatively insensitive to voltage changes but became voltage sensitive in the presence of Ca2+ 0. Further, such sensitivity was abolished or enhanced by Co2* or Bay K 8644, respectively. We concluded that there are two types of Ca2+-sensitive K+ currents, li and It, in coronary smooth muscle cells. Via an inward Ca2+ channel Ca2+ 0 strongly modulates It, both in amplitude and kinetics.
