Inactivation of Ca2+-induced Cl- currents was studied in Xenopus oocytes uding the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. In oocytes permeabilized to Ca2+ by treatment with the ionophore A23187, Ca2+ influx caused by the addition of 2.5-5 mM Ca2+ to the extracellular solution elicited Cl- currents consisting of two components: a fast, transient one (Ifast) and a slow one (Islow). In response to a subsequent application of the same dose of Ca2+, Ifast and Islow were reduced (inactivation phenomenon). The inactivation did not depend on the direction of current flow, but did depend on the duration of the first exposure to Ca2+. The extent of inactivation of Ifast was more significant than tht to Islow. Both Ifast and Islow fully recovered from inactivation in less than 30 min. Intracellular injections of 100-400 pmol CaCl2 evoked large inward currents but did not reduce the amplitude of currents evoked by Ca2+ influx. The activator of protein kinase C, .beta.-phorbol dibutyrate, caused full inhibition of Ifast without any change in Islow. H-7 (1,5-isoquinolinesulfonyl-1,2 methylpiperazine), an inhibitor of protein kinases, strongly reduced the extent of inactivation. Our results suggest that elevation of intracellular Ca2+ by Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane causes inactivation of the Ca2+-dependent Cl- conductance via activation of a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, possibly protein kinase C, whereas Ca2+ arriving at the membrane from inside the cell does not initiate the process leading to inactivation.
