Abstract

QO58 (5-(2,6-dichloro-5-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-3-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-[1,5-a] pyrimidin-7-one) is currently used as a specific activator of the Kv7 (KCNQ) family of K+ channels. Here, we report an unexpected potentiating effect of this drug on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We recorded the whole-cell responses to the rapid application of nicotine with the Cs+-based pipette solution in intracardiac ganglion neurons freshly dissociated from the rat heart. Nicotine-induced inward currents were concentration-dependently blocked by mecamylamine, but not by 1 μM atropine at a holding potential of -60 mV. While the application of QO58 per se evoked a persistent inward current at this holding potential, 10 μM QO58 potentiated the peak amplitude of the nicotine-induced current. The QO58-induced inward currents were inhibited by the Kv7 channel blockers XE991 and Ba2+, but not by mecamylamine. On the other hand, the nicotine-induced current potentiated by QO58 was fully inhibited by mecamylamine. The facilitatory action of QO58 on the nicotinic response was unaffected by Ba2+. QO58 did not affect the reversal potential of the nicotine-induced current. QO58 apparently shifted the concentration-response curve of nicotine to the left. The half-maximal effective concentrations for nicotine in the absence and presence of 10 μM QO58 were 10.2 and 4.3 μM, respectively. These results suggest that QO58 acts as a positive allosteric modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Given the prevalence of nicotinic receptor signaling, the present observations should be considered in future studies on the roles of Kv7 channels in the function of neural circuits and diseases.

Kv7通道开启剂QO58对大鼠心内神经节神经元尼古丁诱导电流的增强作用
QO58(5-(2,6-二氯-5-氟吡啶-3-基)-3-苯基-2-(三氟甲基)- 1h -[1,5-a]嘧啶-7- 1)目前被用作K+通道Kv7 (KCNQ)家族的特异性活化剂。在这里,我们报告了这种药物对烟碱乙酰胆碱受体的意想不到的增强作用。我们用Cs+为基础的移液管溶液在刚从大鼠心脏分离的心内神经节神经元上记录了尼古丁快速应用的全细胞反应。在保持电位为-60 mV时,尼古丁诱导的内向电流被甲美胺阻断,但不被1 μM阿托品阻断。QO58本身在该保持电位下激发了持续的内向电流,而10 μM QO58则增强了尼古丁诱导电流的峰值幅度。qo58诱导的向内电流可被Kv7通道阻滞剂XE991和Ba2+抑制,但不受甲胺的抑制。另一方面,QO58增强的尼古丁诱导电流被甲胺完全抑制。QO58对烟碱反应的促进作用不受Ba2+的影响。QO58不影响尼古丁诱导电流的逆转电位。QO58使尼古丁浓度-反应曲线明显左移。10 μM QO58不存在和存在时,烟碱的半最大有效浓度分别为10.2和4.3 μM。这些结果表明,QO58是烟碱乙酰胆碱受体的正变构调节剂。鉴于烟碱受体信号的普遍存在,在未来关于Kv7通道在神经回路功能和疾病中的作用的研究中,应该考虑目前的观察结果。

期刊介绍: Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. A fourth Society journal, the Journal of Health Science, was merged with Biol. Pharm. Bull. in 2012. The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, information exchange, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.
