Effects of L-type Calcium Channel Antagonists Verapamil and Diltiazem on fKv1.4ΔN Currents in Xenopus oocytes
The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...

متن کاملBenzolamide inhibits low-threshold calcium currents in hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
1. Benzolamide is a poorly permeant sulfonamide inhibitor of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. We studied the effect of benzolamide on low-threshold (LT) Ca currents in neonatal hippocampal CAl neurons. 2. In hippocampal slices, benzolamide (2-10 microM) inhibited the LT current 30-75% in voltage-clamped CAl pyramidal cells (n = 6). In slices bathed in N-2-hydroxypiperazine-N'-2-ethane-sulfonic ac...
متن کاملLow-threshold calcium currents in central nervous system neurons.
The low-threshold calcium current, or T current, has recently been demonstrated with voltage-clamp recordings in a variety of central nervous system (CNS) neurons. It is especially prominent in the soma and dendrites of neurons with robust calcium-dependent burst firing behaviors such as thalamic relay neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cells. Single-channel and macroscopic current behavior have b...
متن کاملDendritic low-threshold calcium currents in thalamic relay cells.
The low-threshold calcium current (IT) underlies burst generation in thalamocortical (TC) relay cells and plays a central role in the genesis of synchronized oscillations by thalamic circuits. Here we have combined in vitro recordings and computational modeling techniques to investigate the consequences of dendritically located IT in TC cells. Simulations of a reconstructed TC cell were compare...
