This study was carried out to determine the intracellular components responsible for the transmembrane current evoked by stimulation of H1-histaminergic receptors in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. Histamine elicited an outward current that was reversed below the K+ equilibrium potential and passed voltage-independent K+ channels. A histamine concentration-dependent rise in outward current and in cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ with similar time courses was observed. The histamine-induced current was not found after depletion of internal Ca2+ stores, suggesting a coupling between internal Ca2+ and K+ current. The time course of the initial increase in inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins (1,4,5)P3) caused by histamine differs from that of the internal Ca2+ response. However, a significant concentration-dependent increase in inositol (1,3,4,5)-tetrakisphosphate (Ins (1,3,4,5)P4) was seen during the whole stimulating period. The role of internal Ca2+, Ins (1,4,5)P3, and Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 on the outward current was also examined by the addition of these substances directly to the cytoplasm. Internal application of Ca2+ increased the amplitude and duration of the histamine-induced current whereas internal EGTA suppressed the outward current. Internal Ins (1,4,5)P3 did not affect the histamine-induced K+ current, Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 inhibited the outward current, and the combination of Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 and Ca2+ abolished this response. The noradrenaline response evoked under normal conditions is not reflected by a change in transmembrane current or a change in Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 but is associated with an increase in Ins (1,4,5)P3 and internal Ca2+. Stimulation of alpha 1-adrenoceptors, however, also evoked an outward current after the addition of Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 intracellularly. It is concluded that K+ channels, carrying the histamine outward current, are activated from the combined action of internal Ca2+ and Ins (1,3,4,5)P4.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007295 Inositol Phosphates Phosphoric acid esters of inositol. They include mono- and polyphosphoric acid esters, with the exception of inositol hexaphosphate which is PHYTIC ACID. Inositol Phosphate,Phosphate, Inositol,Phosphates, Inositol
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
