A novel mitochondrial K(ATP) channel assay.
RATIONALE The mitochondrial ATP sensitive potassium channel (mK(ATP)) is implicated in cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning (IPC), but the molecular identity of the channel remains controversial. The validity of current methods to assay mK(ATP) activity is disputed. OBJECTIVE We sought to develop novel methods to assay mK(ATP) activity and its regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a...
متن کاملMitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation reduces anoxic injury by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential.
Mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) is severely compromised in the myocardium after ischemia-reperfusion and triggers apoptotic events leading to cell demise. This study tests the hypothesis that mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (mitoK(ATP)) channel activation prevents the collapse of DeltaPsi(m) in myocytes during anoxia-reoxygenation (A-R) and is responsible for cell protection via...
متن کاملActivation of cardiac ATP-sensitive K+ channels by KRN4884, a novel K+ channel opener.
In the present study, we have investigated the mechanism underlying the activation by 5-amino-N-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-N'-cyano-3- pyridinecarboxamidine (KRN4884), a new K+ channel opener, of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels in single ventricular cells of guinea pig hearts by the inside-out patch-clamp method. In the presence of intracellular ATP (1 mM), KRN4884 (0.1-3 microM) activated KATP...
متن کاملEffect of ATP-Dependent K+ Channel Openers and Blockers on Serum Concentration of Aldosterone in Rats
There are many reports for involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic, cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. This study examined the effect of single doses of K+ channel openers diazoxide, minoxidil and K+ channel blockers chlorpropamide, glibenclamide on serum concentration of aldosterone in male rats. Blood samples were obtained 60 minutes after drug treatment and serum...
متن کاملA novel kinetic assay of mitochondrial ATP-ADP exchange rate mediated by the ANT.
A novel method exploiting the differential affinity of ADP and ATP to Mg(2+) was developed to measure mitochondrial ADP-ATP exchange rate. The rate of ATP appearing in the medium after addition of ADP to energized mitochondria, is calculated from the measured rate of change in free extramitochondrial [Mg(2+)] reported by the membrane-impermeable 5K(+) salt of the Mg(2+)-sensitive fluorescent in...
