Single-channel potassium currents in human melanoma cells.
Current development in electrophysiological techniques has provided means to approach experimentally also small and flat cells. Ionic channels of nonexcitable cells are now studied together with those of excitable ones, and many similarities in their nature have been found (MacVicar 1984; Shrager et al. 1985). Concerning melanocytes, the pigmented cells of the skin, there is practically no info...
متن کاملNotch-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of Voltage-Gated Potassium Currents.
RATIONALE Ventricular arrhythmias often arise from the Purkinje-myocyte junction and are a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Notch activation reprograms cardiac myocytes to an induced Purkinje-like state characterized by prolonged action potential duration and expression of Purkinje-enriched genes. OBJECTIVE To understand the mechanism by which canonical Notch signaling causes action pot...
متن کاملPotassium currents in octopus cells of the mammalian cochlear nucleus.
Octopus cells in the posteroventral cochlear nucleus (PVCN) of mammals are biophysically specialized to detect coincident firing in the population of auditory nerve fibers that provide their synaptic input and to convey its occurrence with temporal precision. The precision in the timing of action potentials depends on the low input resistance (approximately 6 MOmega) of octopus cells at the res...
متن کاملPotassium Currents in Isolated Deiters' Cells of Guinea Pig
Deiters' cells are the supporting cells in organ of Corti and are suggested to play an important role in biochemical and mechanical modulation of outer hair cells. We successfully isolated functionally different K(+) currents from Deiters' cells of guinea pig using whole cell patch clamp technique. With high K(+) pipette solution, depolarizing step pulses activated strongly outward rectifying c...
متن کاملPotassium currents in acutely isolated human hippocampal dentate granule cells.
1. Properties of voltage- and Ca(2+)-dependent K+ currents were investigated in thirty-four dentate granule cells acutely isolated from the resected hippocampus of eleven patients with therapy-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). 2. When intracellular Ca2+ was strongly buffered with 11.5 mM EGTA-1 mM Ca2+ in the recording pipette, K+ currents (IK) with a slow activation and biexponential ti...
