PG - 459-70 AB - In this paper we report that stimulation of mAChRs in PC12D cells activates Ca2+ channels that are regulated independently of intracellular Ca2+ stores. In nominally Ca2+-free medium, exposure of PC12D cells to carbachol stimulates a robust influx of Ba2+, a Ca2+ substitute. This influx is blocked by atropine, but not by inhibitors of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or L-, N-, or T-type voltage-regulated Ca2+ channels. By contrast, depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin only weakly stimulates Ba2+ influx. Unlike store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs), which close only after intracellular Ca2+ stores refill, channels mediating carbachol-stimulated Ba2+ influx rapidly close following the inactivation of mAChRs with atropine. Ba2+ influx is inhibited by extracellular Ca2+, by the Ca2+ channel blocker SKF-96365, and by activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Exogenous expression of antisense RNA encoding the rat canonical-transient receptor potential Ca2+ channel subtype 6 (TRPC6) or the N-terminal domain of TRPC6 blocks carbachol-stimulated Ba2+ influx in PC12D cells. Expression of TRPC6 antisense RNA or the TRPC6 N-terminal domain also blocks Ba2+ influx stimulated by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a diacylglycerol analog previously shown to activate exogenously expressed TRPC6 channels. These data show that mAChRs in PC12D cells activate endogenous Ca2+ channels that are regulated independently of Ca2+ stores and require the expression of TRPC6.
