Popis: International audience; Intracellular free Ca++ concentration ([Ca++]i) was monitored using the fluorescence from the dye fura-2-acetoxymethylester in single myocytes from rat portal vein. In the presence of oxodipine (a L-type Ca++ channel inhibitor), norepinephrine (10 microM) evoked transient increases in [Ca++]i which were related to release of Ca++ from intracellular stores. The alpha-1 adrenoceptors mediating intracellular Ca++ release and inositol phosphate accumulation were identified by using subtype-selective agonists and antagonists. Pretreatment with chloroethylclonidine had little effect on the norepinephrine-induced increase in [Ca++]i and inositol phosphate accumulation. In contrast, prazosin, 2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl)aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane and alpha-ethyl-3,4,5-trimethoxy-alpha-(3-((2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl)-amino )- propyl)benzeneacetonitrile fumarate produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of both intracellular Ca++ release and inositol phosphate accumulation. The rank of potency was prazosin > 2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl)aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane > alpha-ethyl-3,4,5-trimethoxy-alpha-(3-((2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl)-amino - propyl) benzeneacetonitrile fumarate. Methoxamine was as effective as norepinephrine but was less potent as shown by the rightward shift of the concentration-response curves. These results indicate that myocytes from rat portal vein express alpha-1A adrenoceptors whose activation stimulates phosphoinositide turnover and release of Ca++ from intracellular stores. The alpha-1A adrenoceptor stimulation of [Ca++]i and subsequent activation of Ca(++)-activated Cl- current was insensitive to intracellular applications of pertussis toxin, but concentration-dependently blocked by intracellular dialysis with a pipette solution containing anti-alpha q/alpha 11 antibody (whole cell recording mode).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
