Antagonistic Adrenergic-Muscarinic Regulation of M Current in Smooth Muscle Cells

The $\beta $-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol and analogs of adenosine 3$^{\prime}$,5$^{\prime}$-monophosphate (cAMP) induced a potassium current, M current, in freshly dissociated gastric smooth muscle cells. Muscarinic agonists suppress this current, apparently by acting at a locus downstream from...

Zusammenfassung:The $\beta $-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol and analogs of adenosine 3$^{\prime}$,5$^{\prime}$-monophosphate (cAMP) induced a potassium current, M current, in freshly dissociated gastric smooth muscle cells. Muscarinic agonists suppress this current, apparently by acting at a locus downstream from regulation of cAMP levels by adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase. Thus, M current can be induced by an agent and regulated in antagonistic fashion by $\beta $-adrenergic and muscarinic systems.
