We have investigated whether the activation of cAMP‐ and cGMP‐dependent pathways modifies the properties of voltage‐dependent Ba2+currents (IBa) recorded from guinea‐pig gastric myocytes using patch‐clamp techniques. All experiments were carried on single smooth muscle cells, dispersed from the circular layer of the guinea‐pig gastric antrum.Both dibutyryl cAMP (db‐cAMP, 0.1–1 mM), a membrane‐permeable ester of cAMP, and isoproterenol, a selectiveβ‐stimulant, inhibitedIBain a concentration‐dependent manner.Forskolin, but not dideoxy‐forskolin, an inactive isomer of forskolin, inhibited the peak amplitude ofIBa.In the presence of either Rp‐cAMP or the PKA (cAMP‐dependent protein kinase) inhibitor peptide 5‐24 (PKA‐IP), neither forskolin nor db‐cAMP inhibitedIBa.After establishing a conventional whole‐cell recording, the peak amplitude ofIBagradually decreased when the catalytic subunit of PKA was included in the pipette. The further application of Rp‐cAMP reversibly enhancedIBa.Sodium nitroprusside (0.1–1 mM) and 8‐Br‐cGMP (0.1–1 mM) also inhibitedIBain a concentration‐dependent manner.The inhibitory effects of forskolin or db‐cAMP onIBawere not significantly changed by pretreatment with a cGMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibitor. Similarly, the inhibitory actions of 8‐Br‐cGMP onIBawere not modified by PKA‐IP.The membrane‐permeable cyclic nucleotides db‐cAMP and 8‐Br‐cGMP caused little shift of the voltage dependence of the steady‐state inactivation and reactivation curves.Neither of the membrane‐permeable cyclic nucleotides db‐cAMP or 8‐Br‐cGMP had additive inhibitory effects onIBa.These results indicate that two distinct cyclic nucleotide‐dependent pathways are present in the guinea‐pig gastric antrum, and that both inhibitedIBain an independent manner.British Journal of Pharmacology(2005)146, 129–138. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706295
