Abstract
In atrial cardiac preparations adenosine exerts a receptor-mediated negative inotropic effect due to an increased potassium conductance. Pretreatment of guinea pigs with pertussis toxin abolished the negative inotropic and action potential shortening effect of adenosine and the adenosine analogue (-)-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA). As pertussis toxin specifically inactivates guanine nucleotide-binding proteins involved in the signal transfer from receptor binding to specific cell functions, it is concluded that a guanine nucleotide-binding protein is involved in the regulation of the receptor-mediated change in potassium conductance and force of contraction.
