5—HT对大鼠新鲜分离DRG神经元GABA激活电流的调制作用

本实验在新鲜分离的大鼠背根神经节（ＤＲＧ）细胞上应用全细胞膜片钳技术,观察５－ＨＴ对ＧＡＢＡ激活电流的调制作用。结果发现,绝大多数细胞（４９／５４）对ＧＡＢＡ（１０－８～１０－３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）产生浓度依赖性的内向电流,并有明显的去敏感现象。在多数细胞预加５－ＨＴ（１０－７～１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）,ＧＡＢＡ激活电流受到明显抑制,抑制率分别为３．０％,１３．５％,１９．７％,２４．７％,５９．１％。５－ＨＴ（１０－７～１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）本身在部分细胞（２４／４０）可引起浓度依赖性的内向电流,部分细胞（１２／４０）未检测到膜电流,少数细胞（４／４０）可引起微弱的外向电流。此结果提示５－ＨＴ可能作用于初级传入终末,抑制ＧＡＢＡ引起的初级传入去极化从而调节ＧＡＢＡ的突触前抑制效应     

咖啡因对大鼠背根神经节急性分离神经元GABA-激活电流的抑制作用

应用全细胞膜片钳记录技术,在大鼠新鲜分离背根神经节(dorsal root ganglion,DRG)神经元上,观察预加咖啡因对GABA-激活电流(IGABA)的调制作用。实验中,大部分受检细胞(97．4％,l13／116)对外加GABA敏感。1-1000μmol／L GABA引起一剂量依赖性、有明显上敏感作用的内向电流。在受检的108个DRG细胞中,约有半数(53．7％,58／108)对胞外加咖啡因(0．1-100μmol／L)敏感．产生一幅值很小的内向电流。倾加咖啡因(0．1～100μmol／L)30s后再加GABA能明显抑制GABA(100μmol／L)激活电流的幅值。预加咖啡因后GABA量效曲线明显下移;GABA-激活电流的最人值较之对照下降约57％;而Kd值(30μmol／L)几乎不变,表示此种抑制为非竞争性的。预加安定(diazepam,1μmol／L)对GABA(100μmol／L)激活电流有增强作用,而预加咖啡因(10μmol／L)有拈抗安定增强IGABA的作用。胞内透析H-8后,几乎可以完全消除咖啡因对,IGABA的抑制作用。已知GABA作用于初级感觉神经元能引起初级传入去极化,因而实验结果提示,咖啡因有可能在初级传入末梢产生对抗突触前抑制的效应。     

P物质抑制培养大鼠海马大锥体细胞GABA—激活电流

研究主要探讨P物质（SP）对GABA－激活电流的调制。实验在培养的新生大鼠海马大锥体细胞上进行。应用全细胞膜片箝技术记录GABA激活的内向电流。在被检的大锥体细胞中,有72％（66／92）的神经元对GABA和SP同时敏感,预后SP后,GABA激活电流明显地被抑制,此抑制作用是呈剂量依赖性的。在预加10^-8,10^-7,10^-6,10^-5mol/LSP后,GABA的激活电流分别降低18％,24．8％,25．9％和28％,用SP的拮抗剂 spantide能阻断此种抑制作用,在电极中灌注H7（PKC抑制剂）能取消此抑制作用,上述结果提示：SP对GABA激活电流的抑制作用是SP作用于SP受体,通过胞内第二信使,使GABAA受体通道复合体胞内磷酸化所致。

甲硫—脑啡肽对大鼠DRG分离神经元ATP—激活内向电流的抑制

本研究探讨了甲硫-脑啡肽(met-Enk)对ATP-激活电流(IATP)的调制作用.实验在大鼠新鲜分离背根神经节(DRG)神经元上进行.应用全细胞膜片钳技术所记录的IATP为内向电流.在被检测的DRG神经元中,90.0%(45/50)的细胞对ATP有反应.在45个对ATP敏感的细胞中对大部分细胞(29/45)施加met-Enk(10-9～10-5mol/L)也引起一内向电流;少部分细胞(9/45)为外向电流;其余的细胞(7/45)未引起可检测的膜反应.预加met-Enk后IATP明显地被抑制,此种抑制作用为剂量依赖性的.在预加10-9、10-8、10-7、10-6、10-5mol/Lmet-Enk后,IATP的抑制分别为13.2±5.4%(n=5)、39.2±8.6%(n=8)、54.1±8.6%(n=8)、43.3±7.9%(n=7);43.1±7.9%(n=7)(mean±SKM).阿片肽拮抗剂纳洛酮能翻转此种抑制效应.IATP的量-效关系表明,预加met-Enk后曲线明显压低,在浓度为10-3mol/L时IATP下降约25%,而Kd值几乎不变.应用二次钳压技术胞内透析H-9(PKA抑制剂)能取消此种抑制作用.上述结果提示met-Enk对IATP的抑制效应为非竞争性抑制作用,可能是由于阿片受体激活后,经相应的胞内信号转导途径使ATP受体磷酸化所致.     

Two ATP-activated conductances in bullfrog atrial cells

Currents activated by extracellular ATP were studied in single voltage-clamped bullfrog atrial cells. Rapid application of ATP elicited currents carried through two different conductance pathways: a rapidly desensitizing conductance reversing near -10 mV, and a maintained, inwardly rectifying conductance reversing near -85 mV. ATP activated the desensitizing component of current with a K 1/2 of approximately 50 microM and the maintained component with a K 1/2 of approximately 10 microM. Both types of current were activated by ATP but not by adenosine, AMP, or ADP. The desensitizing current was selectively inhibited by alpha, beta-methylene ATP, and the maintained, inwardly rectifying current was selectively suppressed by extracellular Cs. The desensitizing component of current was greatly reduced when extracellular Na was replaced by N-methylglucamine, but was slightly augmented when Na was replaced by Cs. GTP, ITP, and UTP were all ineffective in activating the desensitizing current, and of a variety of ATP analogues, only ATP-gamma-S was effective. Addition of EGTA or BAPTA to the intracellular solution did not obviously affect the desensitizing current. Fluctuation analysis of currents through the desensitizing conductance suggested that current is carried through ionic channels with a small (less than pS) unitary conductance.     

Modulation by redox reagents of ATP-activated currents in neurons of the rat nodose ganglion

In in vitro experiments using a patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration, we studied the effect of redox reagents on ATP-activated transmembrane currents in isolated cells of the rat nodose ganglion. It was demonstrated that endogenous and exogenous antioxidants, glutathione and dithiothreitol, respectively, are capable of modulating the ATP-activated current. In the presence of antioxidants, this current increased in most neurons, while upon the action of an oxidant this current was suppressed in some cells under study. Taking into account the fact that ATP receptors of sensory neurons are involved in nociception, we hypothesize that a certain level of antioxidants can determine the state of algesia under normal physiological conditions or of hyperalgesia in pathology. Since ATP receptor-operated channels possess a high conductance with respect to calcium ions, the enhancement of calcium signals upon the action of antioxidants can be an important factor for a number of biochemical processes in nerve tissues.

Two types of P2x-purinoceptors in neurons of the guinea pig ileum submucous plexus

Effects of exogenous adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) on dissociated guinea pig ileum submucous neurons were studied using a conventional whole-cell patch-clamp technique. With the holding potential of −50 mV, application of 50–1,000 μM ATP evoked an inward current (ATP-induced current) in most (90%) of the tested neurons (n-35). ATP-induced currents were observed regardless of whether or not guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP, 0.2 mM) and ATP (2 mM) were present in the intracellular solution, or GTP was replaced with equimolar concentration of guanosine 5′-O-3-thiotriphosphate (n-5). In 26 of 29 neurons studied, which responded to ATP, applications of 50–1,000 μM ATP induced slowly declining currents. ATP receptors did not appear to be completely desensitized during a long pulse (up to 4 min) of 200 μM ATP. Suramin (200 μM) accelerated an increase to peak of the current induced by 200 μM ATP without affecting the maximum response amplitude (n−4_. In about 10% of the neuronsn−3), 50 μM ATP evoked rapidly declining (about 1 sec) currents. Application of 100 μM α,β-Me-ATP to these neurons evoked similar responses. The above results suggest that submucous neurons express two specific subtypes of ionotropic P_2x-purinoceptors, which might be involved in distinct excitatory processes in these neurons.     

P2X receptors in mouse Leydig cells

ATP-activated currents were studied in Leydig cells of mice with the patch-clamp technique. Whole cell currents were rapidly activating and slowly desensitizing (55% decrement from the peak value on exposure to 100 µM ATP for 60 s), requiring 3 min of washout to recover 100% of the response. The concentration-response relationships for ATP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATPS), and 2-methylthio-ATP (2-MeS-ATP) were described by the Hill equation with a concentration evoking 50% of maximal ATP response (K_d) of 44, 110, and 637 µM, respectively, and a Hill coefficient of 2. The order of efficacy of agonists was ATP ATPS > 2-MeS-ATP > 2',3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (BzATP). -Methylene-ATP (-MeATP), GTP, UTP, cAMP, and adenosine were ineffective. Suramin and pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS) blocked the responses in a concentration-dependent manner. The ATP-activated currents were dependent on extracellular pH, being maximal at pH 6.5 and decreasing with both acidification and alkalinization (apparent dissociation constant (pK_a) of 5.9 and 7.4, respectively). The whole cell current-voltage relationship showed inward rectification and reversed near 0 mV. Experiments performed in bi-ionic conditions for measurement of reversal potentials showed that this channel is highly permeable to calcium [permeability (P)_Ca/P_Na = 5.32], but not to chloride (P_Cl/P_Na = 0.03) or N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG) (P_NMDG/P_Na = 0.09). Unitary currents recorded in outside-out patches had a chord conductance of 27 pS (between –90 and –50 mV) and were inward rectifying. The average current passing through the excised patch decreased with time [time constant () = 13 s], resembling desensitization of the macroscopic current. These findings indicate that the ATP receptor present in Leydig cells shows properties most similar to those of cloned homomeric P2X₂. patch clamp; single channels; ATP; desensitization     

Whole-cell recordings and photolysis of caged compounds in olfactory sensory neurons isolated from the mouse

Gene manipulation and molecular biological techniques for the study of olfaction are well developed in mice, while electrophysiological properties of mouse olfactory sensory neurons have been less extensively investigated. We used the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique in mouse isolated olfactory sensory neurons to investigate both voltage-gated and transduction currents. Voltage-gated currents were composed of transient inward currents followed by outward currents with transient and sustained components. Of the tested olfactory sensory neurons, 12% responded to the odorant cineole with an inward current. Caged compounds were introduced into the cytoplasm through the patch pipette and flash photolysis of caged cyclic nucleotides activated an inward current in 94% of the cells. When the flash was localized at the cilia, the response latency, rising time and duration were shorter than when the flash illuminated the soma. The amplitude of the photolysis response was dependent on light intensity and the relation was fitted by the Hill equation, with a Hill coefficient of 3.2. These results demonstrate that it is possible to obtain recordings in the whole-cell configuration from olfactory sensory neurons isolated from the mouse and that voltage-gated currents and transduction properties are largely similar to those of amphibians.     

Localization of cholinergic and purinergic receptors on outer hair cells isolated from the guinea-pig cochlea.

Acetylcholine (ACh) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) are shown to act in opposing fashion on guinea-pig cochlear outer hair cells (OHCS) via receptors localized within different fluid compartments of the organ of Corti. The cholinergic (efferent) receptors localized at the basal (perilymphatic) region of these cells activated a rapidly desensitizing hyperpolarizing K+ current. In contrast, purinergic (ATP) receptors were localized at the apical (endolymphatic) surface of OHCS and activated a depolarizing nonselective cation current which exhibited inward rectification and lacked desensitization. Localization of the receptors was determined by using whole-cell patch-clamp, by recording onset latencies and response amplitudes to pulses of either ACh or ATP pressure-applied at selected sites along the length of isolated OHCS. Under voltage-clamp at -60 mV, the largest ACh-induced (outward) currents were recorded when ACh was directed at the basal region of the cells. Conversely, the maximum (inward) ATP currents were obtained when ATP was directed toward the apical surface of these cells. Onset latencies increased rapidly from a minimum of approximately 10 ms for either ACh or ATP as the drug pipette was moved away from these optimal sites. The ATP response was antagonized by amiloride in a dose-dependent manner with a KD of approximately 400 microM. The localization of P2-type purinoceptors to the endolymphatic surface of OHCS suggests that ATP mediates a humoral modulation of the mechano-electrical transduction process.     

ATP-activated ionic conductance in the somatic membrane of mammalian sensory ganglionic neurons

ATP receptors, activation of which leads to an increase in membrane conductance for monovalent cations and to the appearance of an inward ionic current at negative membrane potential values, have been found on the outer surface of the somatic membrane of sensory ganglionic neurons of rats and cats. The ATP-activated ionic channel is almost equally permeable for ions of the alkali metals and possesses marked permeability even for Tris and tetraethylammonium ions. Simultaneously with this, the channel demonstrates marked anomalous rectification. For the receptor to be activated, one ATP molecule must interact with it. Activation of the receptors is not connected with the use of energy of high-energy bonds. Affinity of the receptors for agonists is increased with a fall of membrane potential. Adenine nucleotides containing at least two phosphoric acid residues are agonists. The most active agonist is ATP. Adenosine monophosphate, adenosine, and puromycin competitively block these receptors. Pyrimidine nucleotides, and also purine nucleotides — guanosine triphosphate and inosine triphosphate — do not interact with ATP receptors. ATP-activated currents develop quickly and are then slowly desensitized. The desensitization time constant decreases with an increase in ATP concentration, to reach about 2 sec at a saturating concentration.A. A.
