Abstract: | We find that several protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, previously considered to be specific, directly inhibit voltage-dependent Na(+) channels at their useful concentrations. Bisindolylmaleimide I (GF 1092037), IX (Ro 31-8220) and V (an inactive analogue), but not H7 (a non-selective isoquinolinesulfonamide protein kinase inhibitor), inhibited Na(+) channels assessed by several independent criteria: Na(+) channel-dependent glutamate release and (3)H]batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate binding in rat cortical synaptosomes, veratridine-stimulated 22Na(+) influx in CHO cells expressing rat CNaIIa Na(+) channels and Na(+) currents measured in isolated rat dorsal root ganglion neurons by whole cell patch-clamp recording. These findings limit the usefulness of the bisindolylmaleimide class PKC inhibitors in excitable cells. |
