The mechanisms through which changes in intracellular
Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+]i) might influence
desensitization of neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) of rat
chromaffin cells were investigated by simultaneous patch-clamp
recording of membrane currents and confocal microscopy imaging of
[Ca2+]i induced by nicotine. Increases
in [Ca2+]i that were induced by
membrane depolarization or occurred spontaneously did not influence
inward currents elicited by focally applied test pulses (10 msec) of
nicotine, indicating that raised
[Ca2+]i per se did not trigger
desensitization of nAChRs. Desensitization of nAChRs, evoked by 2 sec
focal application of nicotine, which largely raised
[Ca2+]i, was not affected by
intracellular application of agents that activate or depress protein
kinase C (PKC) or A (PKA) or inhibit phosphatase 1, 2 A and B. Conversely, recovery from desensitization was facilitated by the
phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or the phosphatase
2 B inhibiting complex of cyclosporin A-cyclophilin A, whereas it was
impaired by the broad spectrum kinase inhibitor staurosporine. The
effects of PMA or staurosporine were prevented by the intracellularly
applied Ca2+ chelator BAPTA. The adenylate cyclase
activator forskolin accelerated recovery, whereas the selective PKA
antagonist Rp-cAMPS had an opposite effect. The action of staurosporine
and Rp-cAMPS on recovery from desensitization was additive. It is
proposed that when nAChRs are desensitized, they become susceptible to
modulation by [Ca2+]i via
intracellular second messengers such as serine/threonine kinases and
calcineurin. Thus, the phosphorylation state of neuronal nAChRs appears
to regulate their rate of recovery from desensitization.
Key words:
protein kinase C; protein kinase A; calcineurin; phosphatase; calcium imaging; nicotine
