Urocortin 3 (also known as stresscopin) is an endogenous ligand for the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2 (CRF2). Despite predominant Gs-coupling of CRF2, promiscuous coupling with other G proteins has been also associated with the activation of this receptor. As urocortin 3 has been involved in central cardiovascular regulation at hypothalamic and medullary sites, we examined its cellular effects on cardiac vagal neurons of nucleus ambiguus, a key area for the autonomic control of heart rate. Urocortin 3 (1 nM to 1000 nM) induced a concentration-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration that was blocked by the CRF2 antagonist K41498. In the case of two consecutive treatments with urocortin 3, the second urocortin 3-induced Ca2+ response was reduced, indicating receptor desensitization. The effect of urocortin 3 was abolished by pretreatment with pertussis toxin and by inhibition of phospolipase C with U-73122. Urocortin 3 activated a Ca2+ influx via voltage-gated P/Q-type channels as well as Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum. Urocortin 3 promoted Ca2+ release via inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptors but not ryanodine receptors. Our results indicate a novel Ca2+- mobilizing effect of urocortin 3 in vagal preganglionic neurons of nucleus ambiguus, providing a cellular mechanism for a previously reported role for this peptide in parasympathetic cardiac regulation.
