We have previously shown that angiotensin II (ANG II) stimulates an increase in net outward ionic current (Ino) in neurons cocultured from neonate rat hypothalamus and brain stem, an effect mediated by ANG II type 2 (AT2) receptors. Ino consists mainly of K+ and Ca2+ currents, and in the present study we used whole cell voltage clamp procedures to define which of these currents are modulated by AT2 receptors. We determined that ANG II (50-100 nM) stimulated both transient K+ current (IA) and delayed-rectifier K+ current (IK) in cultured neurons. The effects were mediated by AT2 receptors (blocked by 1 microM PD-123177 but not by 1 microM losartan). For both IA and IK, ANG II elicited an increase in maximal conductance. By contrast, ANG II altered neither Ca(2+)-activated K+ current nor Ca2+ current. Our data demonstrate discrete AT2 receptor-mediated effects of ANG II on IA and IK in cultured neonate neurons. Importantly, these data provide an electrophysiological basis for behavioral or physiological effects (as yet undefined) mediated by this ANG II receptor subtype in the brain.
