TGFbeta1 regulates Kir2.3 inward rectifier K+ channels via phospholipase C and protein kinase C-
in reactive astrocytes from adult rat brain
1 (TGF
1), exerts complex effects on astrocytes with early signaling events being less well characterized than transcriptional mechanisms. We examined the effect of TGF
1 on the 14 pS Kir2.3 inward rectifier K+ channel in rat primary cultured reactive astrocytes. Immunofluorescence study showed that cells co-expressed TGF
1-receptor(R)1 and TGF
1-R2, Kir2.3, and GFAP. Patch clamp study showed that TGF
1 (0.1-100 ng/ml) caused a rapid (<5 min) depolarization due to dose-dependent downregulation of Kir2.3 channels, which was mimicked by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 10-500 nM), and which was inhibited by the PKC inhibitor, calphostin C (100 nM), by PKC desensitization produced by 3-hr exposure to PMA (100 nM), and by the PKC-
isoform-specific inhibitor, rottlerin (50 mM). Immunoblot analysis and confocal imaging showed that TGF
1 caused PKC-
translocation to membrane, and co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that TGF
1 enhanced association between Kir2.3 and PKC-
. Additional electrophysiological experiments showed that Kir2.3 channel downregulation was blocked by the phospholipase C inhibitors, neomycin (100 mM) and D609 (200 mM). Given the commonality of signaling involving PLC-PKC-
, we speculate that TGF
1evoked depolarization may be an early signaling event related to gene transcription in astrocytes.
