Ca2+ entry into different diameter cell bodies of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons depolarized with action potential (AP) waveform commands was studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and pharmacological probes. We have previously shown that Ca2+ current expression in DRG neuron cell bodies depends on cell diameter. In small diameter DRG neurons, L- and N-type Ca2+ currents usually...
The effects of osmotic stress on chloride (CI-) currents in the human neuroblastoma cell line CHP-100 were evaluated. Following exposure to hypoosmotic solution, an increase in whole-cell CI- current was observed. This current was blocked by the CI- channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid (NPPB). In cells loaded with the CI- permeability marker 125I, exposure to hypoosmotic...
Murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC) have served as a model for examining the regulation of erythroid differentiation. However, the role of Ca2+ in the signal transduction pathways regulating differentiation remains unclear. To begin to address this uncertainty we have characterized the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and the possible role of calcium channels during induced differentiation in MEL...
Human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes provide a cellular model for the study of electrophysiology in the human heart and are finding a niche in the field of safety pharmacology for predicting proarrhythmia. The cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel is an important target for some of these safety studies. However, the pharmacology of this channel in these cells is altered compared to native cardiac tissu...
The patch-clamp technique was used to study the electrophysiological properties of single smooth muscle cells obtained from the human cystic artery. These cells contracted on exposure to high K+ and had a mean resting potential of -36 +/- 7 mV. Under current clamp, regenerative responses could not be elicited when depolarizing pulses were applied. Voltage-clamp measurements demonstrated that a ...
The Drosophila transient receptor potential (trp) gene product (TRP) shows some structural similarity to vertebrate voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. It appears to function as a novel Ca2+ channel responsible for light stimulated, inositol trisphosphate (InsP3)-mediated Ca2+ entry in the fly retina. The subcellular localization of TRP protein was determined in this study using immunohistochemical st...
Vertebrate olfactory sensory neurons rapidly adapt to repetitive odorant stimuli. Previous studies have shown that the principal molecular mechanisms for odorant adaptation take place after the odorant-induced production of cAMP, and that one important mechanism is the negative feedback modulation by Ca2+-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. However, the physiolog...
Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells are histamine-containing endocrine cells in the gastric mucosa that maintain a negative membrane potential of about -50 mV, largely due to voltage-gated K+ currents [D. F. Loo, G. Sachs, and C. Prinz. Am. J. Physiol.270 ( Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 33): G739-G745, 1996]. The current study investigated the presence of voltage-gated Ca2+channels in single ECL ce...
Voltage-dependent calcium channels play a role in many cellular phenomena. Very little is known about Ca2+ channels in Drosophila, especially those in muscles. Existing literature on neuronal Ca2+ channels of Drosophila suggests that their pharmacology may be distinct from that of vertebrate Ca2+ channels. This raises questions on the pharmacology and diversity of Ca2+ channels in Drosophila mu...
Ca2+ -dependent inactivation (CDI) has recently been shown in heterologously expressed N-type calcium channels (CaV2.2), but CDI has been inconsistently observed in native N-current. We examined the effect of Ca2+ on N-channel inactivation in rat sympathetic neurons to determine the role of CDI on mammalian N-channels. N-current inactivated with fast (tau approximately 150 ms) and slow (tau app...
