Abstract: | The mRNAs of MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors are present in cells from nonpregnant (NPM) and pregnant (PM) rat myometrium. To investigate the coupling of melatonin receptors to Gq- and Gi-type of heterotrimeric G proteins, we analyzed the activity of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, the expression of which in the uterus is confined to smooth muscle cells. The melatonin receptor agonist 2-iodomelatonin induced a pertussis toxin (PTX)-insensitive increase in channel open probability that was blocked by the nonselective antagonist luzindole. The 2-iodomelatonin effect on channel open probability was suppressed by overexpression of the Gqalpha-inactivating protein RGS16 and the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122. The activity of BKCa channels is differentially regulated by protein kinase A (PKA) in NPM and PM cells. Thus, the beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline inhibited the BKCa channel conducted whole-cell outward current (Iout) in NPM cells and enhanced Iout in PM cells. Additional application of 2-iodomelatonin antagonized the isoprenaline effect on Iout in NPM cells but enhanced Iout in PM cells. All 2-iodomelatonin effects on Iout were sensitive to PTX treatment and the PKA inhibitor H-89. We therefore conclude that melatonin activates both the PTX-insensitive Gq/phospholipase C/Ca2+ and the PTX-sensitive Gi/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in rat myometrium. |
