In canine ventricular myocardium, endothelin-1 (ET-1) alone induced only a weak transient negative inotropic effect (NIE). However, ET-1 induced a marked sustained positive inotropic effect (PIE) subsequent to a transient NIE in the presence of norepinephrine (NE) at low concentrations (0.1 - 1 nM) and elicited a pronounced sustained NIE in the presence of NE at high concentrations (around 100 nM). Thus, the extent of beta-adrenoceptor stimulation induced by NE played a crucial role in determining the characteristics of the inotropic effects of ET-1. The characteristics of ET receptor subtypes involved in contractile regulation and Ca(2+) signaling induced by ET-1 were determined. The ET-1-induced transient NIE and decrease in Ca(2+) transients were abolished by the selective ET(A)-receptor antagonist FR319317, but not by the selective ET(B)-receptor antagonist BQ-788. The sustained PIE and the increase in Ca(2+) transients induced by ET-1 were abolished by FR319317, but not inhibited by BQ-788. In contrast, the sustained NIE of ET-1 was abolished by the non-selective ET antagonist TAK-044, markedly attenuated by FR319317, and partially inhibited by BQ-788. ET-1 alone elicited a PIE in the presence of BQ-788, which indicates that the activation of ET(B)-receptors counteracts the development of the PIE of ET-1. The current findings indicate that both ET(A) and ET(B) receptors are involved in the regulation of Ca(2+) signaling and contractility in canine ventricular myocardium.
