K+ secretion in strial marginal cells (SMC) of stria vascularis (SV) is stimulated by beta1-adrenergic receptors. The aim of the present study was to determine, whether SMC from the gerbil inner ear contain muscarinic receptors that inhibit K+ secretion. Receptors were identified with pharmacological tools in functional studies where K+ secretion was monitored as transepithelial current (Isc). The cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured as fluo-4 fluorescence and cAMP production with a colorimetric immunoassay. Further, receptors were identified in SV as transcripts by cloning and sequencing of reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) products. The cholinergic receptor agonist carbachol (CCh) caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i with a half-maximal concentration value (EC50) of (5 +/- 6) x 10(-6) m (n = 29) and a decrease in basal and stimulated cAMP production. Apical CCh had no effect on Isc but basolateral CCh caused a transient increase in Isc with an EC50 of (3 +/- 1) x 10(-6) m and a sustained decrease of Isc with an EC50 of (1.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(-5) m (n = 129). The effects of CCh on Isc and [Ca2+]i were inhibited in the presence of muscarinic antagonist 10(-6) m atropine. Further, the muscarinic antagonists pirenzipine, methoctramine and para-fluoro-hexahydo-sila-defenidol (pFHHSiD) inhibited the CCh-induced transient increase of Isc with affinity constants (KDB) of 3 x 10(-8) m (pKDB = 7.54 +/- 0.19, n = 17), 2 x 10(-6) m (pKDB = 5.71 +/- 0.26, n = 19) and 2 x 10(-8) m (pKDB = 7.65 +/- 0.28, n = 19) and the sustained decrease of Isc with KDB of 7 x 10(-8) m (pKDB = 7.05 +/- 0.09, n = 33), 6 x 10(-6) m (pKDB = 5.21 +/- 0.13, n = 23), 5 x 10(-8) m (pKDB = 7.34 +/- 0.13, n = 31), respectively. RT-PCR of total RNA isolated from SV using primers specific for the M1-M5 muscarinic receptors revealed products of the predicted sizes for the M3- and M4- but not the M1-, M2- and M5-muscarinic receptor subtypes. Sequence analysis confirmed that amplified cDNA fragments encoded gene-specific nucleotide sequences. These results suggest that K+ secretion in SMC is under the control of M3- and M4-muscarinic receptors that may be located in the basolateral membrane of strial marginal cells.

D010880 Piperidines A family of hexahydropyridines.
D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.
