Abstract NO donors have complex effects on Ca2+
currents in native cardiac cells, with reports of direct stimulation
and indirect cGMP-mediated inhibition or stimulation. To investigate
the molecular basis of these effects, we tested the effects of one
class of NO donors, S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), on
expressed cardiovascular L-type Ca2+
channels (
1C±ß1a±
2 or
1C±ß2a±
2) in human
embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. The RSNO compounds we used were
S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP, 5
to 10 nmol/L or 100 to 800 µmol/L),
S-nitrosocysteine (SNC, 100 µmol/L or 1
mmol/L), and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, 1 mmol/L).
Currents were measured using whole-cell patch recordings with 2
to 10 mmol/L Ba2+ as the charge carrier. SNAP reduced
the amplitude of barium currents (IBa) through all the
subunit combinations, with an EC50 of 360 µmol/L for
1C+ß1a channels. SNC or GSNO also
inhibited IBa, albeit less potently. The
inhibitory effect of SNAP was not affected by methylene
blue (10 to 30 µmol/L) or 8-bromo-cGMP (200 to 400
µmol/L). The effects are relatively specific for Ca2+
channels, as expressed cardiac or skeletal muscle Na+
channels, which have a similar overall architecture, were barely
affected by SNAP at concentrations as high as 1 mmol/L. We
conclude that in the HEK293 expression system, the
S-nitrosothiol NO donors inhibit L-type Ca2+
channels by a mechanism independent of cGMP.
