We have recently reported in canine Purkinje fibers that acetylcholine (ACh) can reverse the positive voltage shift of the pacemaker current (if) induced byβ-adrenergic stimulation while having no direct action of its own [3]. We have now investigated this effect of ACh on the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) cascade in more detail. We find that addition of a membrane permeable analogue of cAMP (8-chlorophenylthio cAMP), 0.5–1 mM, increased the amplitude ofif.This action was not reversed by 1 μM ACh, implying that ACh acts at a step prior to cAMP action. We then looked at the steps controlling intracellular concentration of cAMP. Inhibiting the phosphodiesterase with 100 μM isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) increasedif. This action, however, was reversed by ACh. Finally we investigated whether the action of forskolin, a direct activator of adenylyl cyclase, could be reversed by ACh. Forskolin (10–20 μM) increasedif, and ACh at 1 μM partially reversed this action of forskolin. These results suggest that, in canine Purkinje fibers, ACh reverses the positive action ofβ-adrenergic agents onifvia a decrease in cAMP production.
