The muscarinic cholinergic agonist, carbachol, and pertussis toxin were used to examine the functional status of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein that inhibits adenylate cyclase (Gi) in cultured neonatal rat heart myocytes. The isoproterenol stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in myocyte membranes and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in intact cells (4 days in culture) were insensitive to carbachol (0.1 mM). However, in cells cultured for 11 days, carbachol (0.1 mM) inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP accumulation by 30%. Angiotensin II (ANG II) was also found to inhibit isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP accumulation in day 11 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Pertussis toxin treatment reversed the inhibitory effects of both ANG II and carbachol, suggesting a role for Gi in the process. Carbachol binding to membranes from day 4 cells was relatively insensitive to guanine nucleotides when compared with binding to membranes from day 11 or adult cells. Furthermore, pertussis toxin-mediated 32P incorporation into a 39- to 41-kDa substrate in day 11 membranes was increased 3.2-fold over that measured in day 4 membranes. These findings support the view that, although Gi is expressed, it is nonfunctional in 4-day-old cultured neonatal rat heart myocytes and acquisition of functional Gi is dependent on culture conditions. Furthermore, the ANG II receptor can couple to Gi in heart.

Cholesterol oxidase was used to investigate the distribution of free cholesterol between plasma membrane and intracellular pools in cultured neonatal rat heart myocytes. Only 20% of the total unesterified cholesterol was converted to delta 4-cholestenone by cholesterol oxidase in intact cells. With increasing age in culture and concurrent hypertrophy, there was an increase in unesterified cellular cholesterol and plasma membrane cholesterol; their relative distribution remained unchanged. Electron micrographs of negatively stained samples of day 4 cytosol revealed the presence of vesicles 50–200 nm in diameter. Cholesterol monohydrate crystals were found in the cytosol of hypertrophic day 14 cells. Treatment of day 14 cells with small unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine reduced plasma membrane and intracellular cholesterol levels, resulting in the disappearance of the cholesterol monohydrate crystals and the formation of vesicles smaller than those observed in day 4 cultures.
