Upregulation of L-type calcium channels in colonic inhibitory motoneurons of P/Q-type calcium channel-deficient mice.
Enteric inhibitory motoneurons use nitric oxide and a purine neurotransmitter to relax gastrointestinal smooth muscle. Enteric P/Q-type Ca2+ channels contribute to excitatory neuromuscular transmission; their contribution to inhibitory transmission is less clear. We used the colon from tottering mice (tg/tg, loss of function mutation in the α1A pore-forming subunit of P/Q-type Ca2+ channels) to...
متن کاملAnomalous L-Type Calcium Channels of Rat Spinal Motoneurons
Single channel patch-clamp recordings show that embryonic rat spinal motoneurons express anomalous L-type calcium channels, which reopen upon repolarization to resting potentials, displaying both short and long reopenings. The probability of reopening increases with increasing voltage of the preceding depolarization without any apparent correlation with inactivation during the depolarization. T...
متن کاملATP-sensitive Potassium Channels and L-type Calcium Channels are Involved in Morphine-induced Hyperalgesia after Nociceptive Sensitization in Mice
Introduction: We investigated the role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and L-type calcium channels in morphine-induced hyperalgesia after nociceptive sensitization. Methods: We used a hotplate apparatus to assess pain behavior in male NMRI mice. Nociceptive sensitization was induced by three days injection of morphine and five days of drug free. On day 9 of the schedule, pain behavior te...
متن کاملL-type calcium channel-dependent inhibitory plasticity in the thalamus
Thalamocortical neurons integrate sensory and cortical activity and are regulated by input from inhibitory neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus. Evidence suggests that during bursts of action potentials, dendritic calcium transients are seen throughout the dendritic tree of thalamocortical cells. Here, we review a recent study that suggests these calcium transients regulate inhibitory inpu...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of L-type Cav1.3 calcium channels in murine embryonic hearts from Cav1.2-deficient mice.
Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels play a key role in the control of heart contraction and are essential for normal heart development. The Cav1.2 L-type calcium channel is the predominant isoform in cardiomyocytes and is essential for excitation-contraction coupling. Although the inactivation of the Cav1.2 gene caused embryonic lethality before embryonic day E14.5, hearts were contracting be...
