Angiotensin II inhibition of ATP-sensitive K+ currents in rat arterial smooth muscle cells through protein kinase C.

1. The effects of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II (Ang II) on whole-cell ATP-sensitive K+ currents (IK,ATP) of smooth muscle cells isolated enzymatically from rat mesenteric arteries were investigated using the patch clamp technique. 2. Ang II, at a physiological concentration (100 nM), reduced IK,ATP activated by 0.1 mM internal ATP and 10 microM levcromakalim by 36.4 +/- 2.3%. 3. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG, 1 microM) reduced IK,ATP by 44.1 +/- 2.7%. GDP beta S (1 mM), included in the pipette solution, abolished the inhibition by Ang II, while that by OAG was unaffected. 4. Pretreatment with the PKC inhibitors staurosporine (100 nM) or calphostin C (500 nM) prevented the Ang II-induced inhibition of IK,ATP. 5. Ang II inhibition was unaffected by cell dialysis with PKA inhibitor peptide (5 microM), and the PKA inhibitor Rp-cAMPS (100 microM) did not reduce IK,ATP. 6. Our results suggest that Ang II modulates KATP channels through activation of PKC but not through inhibition of PKA.
