In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of TACROLIMUS (cas 109581-93-3), a macrolide immunosuppressive drug that acts through calcineurin inhibition, on voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels expressed in native smooth muscle cells isolated from the coronary arteries of rabbits. Tacrolimus reduced the amplitude of Kv currents in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value and Hill coefficient of 7.80 ± 3.01 μM and 1.07 ± 0.25, respectively. Tacrolimus caused a shift in the activation curve toward a more positive potential and in the inactivation curve toward a more negative potential. Tacrolimus-induced inhibition of Kv current was increased by the application of train pulses (1 or 2 Hz). Furthermore, the recovery time constant of inactivation was extended in the presence of tacrolimus, suggesting that tacrolimus inhibited Kv channels in a use-dependent manner. Two kinds of Kv subtype inhibitors, DPO-1 and guangxitoxin did not affect the degree of tacrolimus-induced inhibition of Kv current. Furthermore, pretreatment with another calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporine A, did not affect the Kv current, and did not alter the inhibitory effect of tacrolimus. Using perforated-patch clamp experiments, inhibition of Kv channels by tacrolimus caused membrane depolarization. From these results, we concluded that tacrolimus inhibited the vascular Kv currents in a dose, state (open and closed)-dependent manner.
