Membrane-delimited Inhibition of Maxi-K Channel Activity by the Intermediate Conductance Ca2+-activated K Channel
The complexity of mammalian physiology requires a diverse array of ion channel proteins. This diversity extends even to a single family of channels. For example, the family of Ca2+-activated K channels contains three structural subfamilies characterized by small, intermediate, and large single channel conductances. Many cells and tissues, including neurons, vascular smooth muscle, endothelial c...
متن کاملCXCL12-induced glioblastoma cell migration requires intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel activity.
The activation of ion channels is crucial during cell movement, including glioblastoma cell invasion in the brain parenchyma. In this context, we describe for the first time the contribution of intermediate conductance Ca(2+)-activated K (IK(Ca)) channel activity in the chemotactic response of human glioblastoma cell lines, primary cultures, and freshly dissociated tissues to CXC chemokine liga...
متن کاملHistamine hyperpolarizes human glioblastoma cells by activating the intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel.
The effects of histamine on the membrane potential and currents of human glioblastoma (GL-15) cells were investigated. In perforated whole cell configuration, short (3 s) applications of histamine (100 microM) hyperpolarized the membrane by activating a K(+)-selective current. The response involved the activation of the pyrilamine-sensitive H(1) receptor and Ca(2+) release from thapsigargin-sen...
متن کاملExpression of intermediate-conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCNN4) in H441 human distal airway epithelial cells.
Electrophysiological studies of H441 human distal airway epithelial cells showed that thapsigargin caused a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in membrane conductance (G(Tot)) and hyperpolarization of membrane potential (V(m)). These effects reflected a rapid rise in cellular K(+) conductance (G(K)) and a slow fall in amiloride-sensitive Na(+) conductance (G(Na)). The increase in G(Tot) was antagonized ...
متن کاملActivation of Ca2+-activated K+(maxi-K+) channel by angiotensin II in myocytes of the guinea pig ileum.
We investigated the regulation of the Ca2+-activated K+(maxi-K+) channel by angiotensin II (ANG II) and its synthetic analog, [Lys2]ANG II, in freshly dispersed intestinal myocytes. We identified a maxi-K+ channel population in the inside-out patch configuration on the basis of its conductance (257 ± 4 pS in symmetrical 150 mM KCl solution), voltage and Ca2+ dependence of channel opening, low N...
