An increase in intracellular Ca2+ due to voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channel opening represents an important trigger for a number of second-messenger-mediated effects ranging from neurotransmitter release to gene activation. Ca2+ entry occurs through the principal pore-forming protein but several ancillary subunits are known to more precisely tune ion influx. Among them, the CaVbeta subunits are p...
SK4/IK1 encodes an intermediate conductance, Ca2+ -activated K+ channel and fulfills a variety of physiological functions in excitable and nonexcitable cells. Although recent studies have provided evidence for the presence of SK4/IK1 channels in salivary acinar cells, the regulatory mechanisms and the physiological function of the channel remain unknown in these cells. Using molecular and elect...
The whole cell version of the patch clamp technique was used to identify and characterize voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in enzymatically dissociated bovine adrenal zona fasciculata (AZF) cells. The great majority of cells (84 of 86) expressed only low voltage-activated, rapidly inactivating Ca2+ current with properties of T-type Ca2+ current described in other cells. Voltage-dependent activation ...
We investigated the relationship between voltage-operated Ca2+ channel current and the corresponding intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) change (Ca2+ transient) in guinea pig gastric myocytes. Fluorescence microspectroscopy was combined with conventional whole cell patch-clamp technique, and fura 2 (80 μM) was added to CsCl-rich pipette solution. Step depolarization to 0 mV induced inward...
We investigated the neuroprotective properties of two M-type K+ channel blockers, linopirdine and its analog XE991, in rat sympathetic neurons deprived of nerve growth factor (NGF). Linopirdine and XE991 promoted sympathetic neuronal survival 48-72 hr after NGF withdrawal in a concentration-dependent manner. Both drugs prevented neuronal apoptosis by blocking the pathway leading to the release ...
The effect of increased impulse activity upon voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents was studied in the cell body of a crayfish phasic motoneuron using two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. Increased electrical activity in this relatively inactive motoneuron produces a short-term and long-term reduction in the voltage-dependent Ca2+ current. Both forms of activity-dependent reduction in Ca2+ current ...
Effects of intracellularly perfused ATP, and extracellularly applied cyanide and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, on fast and slow Ca2+ channel currents of isolated single vascular smooth muscle cells were investigated by a whole-cell voltage-clamp method combined with an intracellular perfusion technique. Single smooth muscle cells were prepared by collagenase treatment from guinea pig small mesenteric arte...
Although numerous Ca2+ channels have been identified in cerebellar granule cells, their role in regulating excitability remained unclear. We therefore investigated the excitable response in granule cells using whole cell patch-clamp recordings in acute rat cerebellar slices throughout the time of development (P4-P21, n = 183), with the aim of identifying the role of Ca2+ channels and their acti...
Protein phosphorylation and cytosolic-free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) contribute to signalling cascades evoked by the water-stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) that lead to stomatal closure in higher-plant leaves. ABA activates an inward-rectifying Ca2+ channel at the plasma membrane of stomatal guard cells, promoting Ca2+ entry by shifting the voltage-sensitivity of the channels. Because many of these ef...
In T lymphocytes, a store-operated calcium ion (Ca2+) entry mechanism termed the calcium release-activated Ca2+ channel (CRAC channel) underlies the sustained or oscillatory intracellular calcium concentration signal required for interleukin-2 gene expression and cell proliferation. The use of sodium ions as a current carrier enabled single-channel recordings of CRAC channels during activation,...
