Abstract
The hormonal regulation of L-type calcium current was investigated in freshly isolated tracheal smooth muscle cells using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Isoproterenol stimulated the L-type calcium current 2.6-fold through beta-adrenoceptors. Dialysis of these cells with cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP analogues or the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP kinase had no effect on basal or isoproterenol-stimulated calcium current. The calcium current was stimulated and inhibited by dialysis of the cells with GTP gamma S and GDP beta S, respectively. Evidently, in some smooth muscle cells the beta-adrenoceptor couples directly to L-type calcium channels via a G protein.
