Activation of Inward Rectifier K+ Channel 2.1 by PDGF-BB in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells through Protein Kinase A
Figure 4
Effects of PKA and Akt on PDGF-BB-mediated activation of Kir2.1 currents. (a) Original tracings illustrating currents determined in RASMCs. Em was held at -80 mV, and pulse potentials were applied from -150 mV to 0 mV. (b) Arithmetic () of current-voltage relationship curves. (c) Arithmetic () of the current amplitude at -150 mV of Kir2.1 currents in PDGF-BB; PDGF-BB+Rp-8-CPT-cAMPs. Rp-8-CPT-cAMPs (10 μM). vs. PDGF-BB; PDGF-BB+GSK690693. GSK690693 (10 nM). vs. PDGF-BB.
