Angiotensin II (Ang II), via the activation of the AT1 and AT2 receptors regulates electrophysiological responses of catecholaminergic neurons. This study was designed to determine if functional interactions between AT1 and AT2 receptors exist in a single neuron. Ang II caused two unique electrophysiological responses characteristic of receptor crosstalk. First, Ang II elicited an AT1 receptor-mediated decrease in I(K) followed by an AT2 receptor-mediated increase in I(K). Second, Ang II elicited an AT2 receptor-mediated increase in I(K) followed by an AT1 receptor-mediated decrease in I(K). AT1 and AT2 receptors were co-localized on the catecholaminergic neurons. These observations suggest, for the first time, the existence of a crosstalk between Ang II receptor subtypes that may be significant in the physiological activity of catecholaminergic neurons.

D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
