In mouse intestinal smooth muscle cells held at -50 mV, carbachol evoked an atropine-sensitive inward Current in the intracellular presence of Cs+. The current response consisted of an initial peak followed by a smaller plateau component on which oscillatory Currents frequently arose. Results from various experimental procedures indicated that the inward Current is a muscarinic receptor-operated cationic current sensitive to cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) and that the initial peak and oscillatory components are contaminated by Ca2+-activated Cl- currents. Under conditions of [Ca2+] i buffered to 100 W, the mI(cat) response to cumulative carbachol applications was inhibited competitively by an W-selective antagonist but non-competitively by an M-3-selective one. Also it was severely reduced by pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment or a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor. Comparative analysis of mI(cat) in mouse and guinea-pig intestinal myocytcs indicated that the underlying channels resemble between those myocytes in agonist sensitivity, current-voltage relationship, and unitary conductance. The results Suggest that in mouse intestinal myocytes, ml(cat) arises mainly via an M-2/M-3 synergistic mechanism involving PTX-sensitive G-proteins and PLC activity in the absence of current modulation by [Ca2+]i changes, as described for guinea-pig ileal mI(cat). The channels underlying nil,,,, are also indistinguishable in gating properties between both types of myocytes.
