| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on L-type Ca current (ICa) of rat ventricular myocytes using perforated patch clamp technique. ET-1 (10nM) increased ICa. This increase was blocked by a selective ETA antagonist BQ-123 but not by a selective ETB antagonist BQ-788. The increase was blocked by a PKC inhibitor chelerythrine and a CaMKII inhibitor KN-93 but not by its inactive analogue KN-92. The increase was blocked by another CaMKII inhibitor AIP. These results suggested that ET-1 increased ICa via an ETA-PKC-CaMKII pathway.
