α-Adrenergic receptor stimulation regulates the activity of a number of different cardiac ion channels, including those underlying one or more distinct Cl−conductances. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used in the present study to investigate the effects of α-adrenergic stimulation on the β-adrenergically regulated Cl−current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Neither α1-adrenergic receptor stimulation with methoxamine (25 to 500 μmol/L) nor direct activation of endogenous protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu, 100 nmol/L) evoked a Cl−current. On the contrary, the Cl−current activated by 30 nmol/L isoproterenol was inhibited by methoxamine, with an EC50of 6.7±2.6 μmol/L, and this response was blocked by prazosin, an α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Prazosin also decreased the EC50for current activation by norepinephrine from 53±7.1 to 18±3.8 nmol/L, demonstrating that the ability of this endogenous neurotransmitter to activate the Cl−current through β-adrenergic receptor stimulation is limited by its intrinsic ability to also activate α-adrenergic receptors. Methoxamine did not inhibit the Cl−current evoked by either direct activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin or inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, indicating that α-adrenergic stimulation inhibits β-adrenergic responses at a point upstream of adenylate cyclase activation. Methoxamine also did not inhibit the Cl−current activated by histamine, suggesting that α-adrenergic stimulation specifically inhibits β-adrenergic receptor–mediated responses. The inhibitory effect of methoxamine was not mimicked by PDBu, and it persisted in the presence of bisindolylmaleimide, a selective PKC inhibitor. However, methoxamine inhibition of the isoproterenol-activated Cl−current was sensitive to pertussis toxin. These results suggest that α-adrenergic receptor stimulation inhibits the β-adrenergically activated Cl−current, demonstrating a novel mechanism by which α-adrenergic receptors may regulate ion channel activity in the heart.
