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.
