We investigated the effects of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin (Ang) II on the whole cell inward rectifier K(+) (Kir) current enzymatically isolated from small-diameter (<100 microm) coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs). Ang II inhibited the Kir current in a dose-dependent manner (half inhibition value: 154 nM). Pretreatment with phospholipase C inhibitor and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors prevented the Ang II-induced inhibition of the Kir current. The PKC activator reduced the Kir currents. The inhibitory effect of Ang II was reduced by intracellular and extracellular Ca(2+) free condition and by Gö6976, which inhibits Ca(2+)-dependent PKC isoforms alpha and beta. However, the inhibitory effect of Ang II was unaffected by a peptide that selectively inhibits the translocation of the epsilon isoform of PKC. Western blot analysis confirmed that PKCalpha, and not PKCbeta, was expressed in small-diameter CASMCs. The Ang II type 1 (AT(1))-receptor antagonist CV-11974 prevented the Ang II-induced inhibition of the Kir current. From these results, we conclude that Ang II inhibits Kir channels through AT(1) receptors by the activation of PKCalpha.
