Guinea pig ventricular myocytes in whole cell
configuration were treated with tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors
[genistein (Gst), tyrphostin A23 (T23), and tyrphostin A25
(T25)] and with inactive analogs [daidzein, genistin, and
tyrphostin A1 (T1)] to measure effects on L-type
Ca2+ current
(ICa,L). Gst
inhibited ICa,L
(IC50 = 47 µM) without affecting its time course or shifting the
ICa,L-voltage
relationship. At the highest concentration of isoflavone tested (200 µM), ICa,L was
inhibited by 66 ± 7% (Gst), 22 ± 2% (daidzein), and 1 ± 3% (genistin). Inhibition of
ICa,L by the
active tyrphostins was significantly larger than inhibition by T1; at
200 µM the inhibitions were 72 ± 6% (T23), 71 ± 6% (T25),
and 27 ± 6% (T1). The phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor
orthovanadate (1 mM) had a small stimulatory effect (6 ± 2%) on
basal ICa,L and
blocked the inhibition of
ICa,L by TK
inhibitors. The data suggest a role for the TK-phosphotyrosine phosphatase system in the regulation of cardiac
Ca2+ channels.
