These results indicated an increased adrenal catecholamine, angiotensin AT (1) and endothelin ET (A) activation of the phospholipase C-protein kinase C pathway in SHR, inhibiting the 4-aminopyridine-sensitive K+ channels.

Translocation of TRPC4 and TRPC5 was also prevented in slices from phospholipase C (PLC) beta1 knockout mice, even when synchronized discharges were elicited by the convulsant 4-aminopyridine.

A possible role for signalling through phospholipase C in histamine-induced catecholamine secretion from bovine adrenal chromaffin cells has been investigated.
Blocking various K (+) channels with apamin, charybdotoxin, Ba (2+), tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, tertiapin or glibenclamide failed to reduce the ability of histamine to evoke secretion.

In contrast, two global potassium (K+) channel inhibitors, tetraethylammonium (TEA) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), prevented attenuation of InsP production by isoproterenol.

DOI potently inhibited 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-evoked glutamate release.
Mechanistically, DOI modulation of 4AP-evoked glutamate release appeared to involve a phospholipase C/protein kinase C signaling cascade, insofar as pretreatment of synaptosomes with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 or protein kinase C inhibitors Ro320432 or GF109203X all effectively occluded the inhibitory effect of the agonist.

Both m-3M3FBS and o-3M3FBS decreased two components of delayed rectifier K (+) currents in the presence of tetraethylammonium chloride or 4-aminopyridine.

Patch-clamp analysis of K (+) channel currents in cultured astrocytes identified the existence of 71 +/- 6 and 161 +/- 11 pS single-channel K (+) currents that were sensitive to changes in voltage and [Ca (2+)](i) and blocked by external TEA but not by charybdotoxin, iberiotoxin, apamin, or 4-aminopyridine.
Activation of the two types of K (+) channel currents by mGluR agonists was attenuated by pertussis toxin and by inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) or cytochrome P450 arachidonate epoxygenase.

A phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122 (1 microM), was shown to abolish the delayed ATP-elicited response.
The known K (+)-channel blockers, iberiotoxin, charybdotoxin, glibenclamide, apamin, 4-aminopyridine, Ba (2+) and tetraethylammonium chloride all failed to inhibit the delayed ATP-elicited K (+) current.

Addition of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 100 microM) prolonged these bursts to 0.7-2 s.
In phospholipase C beta1 (PLCbeta1) knockout mice, bicuculline and 4-AP elicited prolonged synchronized discharges of comparable duration as those observed in slices from wild-type littermates.

Interestingly, we found that the protective effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide were related to the absence of a 4-aminopyridine (IC50=144 microM) sensitive rapidly inactivating potassium current often referred to as A-type current.

The K+ channel antagonist 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 50-100 microm) converted the inhibitory effect of DHPG into facilitation.
