Extracellular Hypotonicity Induces Disturbance of Sodium Currents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypotonic solution alters ion channel activity, but little attention has been paid to voltage-dependent sodium channels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypotonic solution on transient sodium currents (I NaT) and persistent sodium currents (I NaP). We also explored whether the intracellular signal transduction systems participated in the hypotonic modifications of sodium currents.

متن کاملOsmotic cell swelling-induced ATP release mediates the activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (Erk)-1/2 but not the activation of osmo-sensitive anion channels.
Human intestine 407 cells respond to hypo-osmotic stress by the rapid release of ATP into the extracellular medium. A difference in the time course of activation as well as in the sensitivity to cytochalasin B treatment and BAPTA-AM [1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid acetoxymethyl ester] loading suggests that ATP leaves the cell through a pathway distinct from volume-re...
متن کاملExtracellular hypotonicity increases Na,K-ATPase cell surface expression via enhanced Na+ influx in cultured renal collecting duct cells.
In the renal collecting duct (CD), the Na,K-ATPase, which provides the driving force for Na+ absorption, is under tight multifactorial control. Because CD cells are physiologically exposed to variations of interstitial and tubular fluid osmolarities, the effects of extracellular anisotonicity on Na,K-ATPase cell surface expression were studied. Results show that hypotonic conditions increased, ...
متن کاملCell swelling increases the severity of spreading depression in Locusta migratoria.
Progressive accumulation of extracellular potassium ions can trigger propagating waves of spreading depression (SD), which are associated with dramatic increases in extracellular potassium levels ([K(+)]o) and arrest in neural activity. In the central nervous system the restricted nature of the extracellular compartment creates an environment that is vulnerable to disturbances in ionic homeosta...
متن کاملHypotonicity modulates tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current in trigeminal ganglion neurons
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play an important role in the control of membrane excitability. We previously reported that the excitability of nociceptor was increased by hypotonic stimulation. The present study tested the effect of hypotonicity on tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current (TTX-S current) in cultured trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. Our data show that after hypotonic treatm...
