The patch-clamptechnique was used to determine the ionic conductances activated by ATPin murine colonic smooth muscle cells. Extracellular ATP, UTP, and2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate (2-MeS-ATP) increasedoutward currents in cells with amphotericin B-perforated patches. ATP(0.5-1 mM) did not affect whole cell currents of cells dialyzedwith solutions containing ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraaceticacid. Apamin (3 × 107M) reduced the outward current activated by ATP by 32 ± 5%. Single channel recordings from cell-attached patches showed that ATP, UTP, and2-MeS-ATP increased the open probability of small-conductance, Ca2+-dependentK+ channels with a slopeconductance of 5.3 ± 0.02 pS. Caffeine (500 µM) enhanced the openprobability of the small-conductance K+ channels, and ATP had no effectafter caffeine. Pyridoxal phosphate 6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid tetrasodium (PPADS,104 M), a nonselectiveP2 receptor antagonist, preventedthe increase in open probability caused by ATP and 2-MeS-ATP. PPADS hadno effect on the response to caffeine. ATP-induced hyperpolarization inthe murine colon may be mediated byP2y-induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores andactivation of the 5.3-pSCa2+-activatedK+ channels. 相似文献

We have examined the effects of the cannabinoid anandamide (AEA) and its stable analog, methanandamide (methAEA), on large-conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels using human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells, in which the -subunit of the BK channel (BK-), both - and 1-subunits (BK-1), or both - and 4-subunits (BK-4) were heterologously expressed. In a whole cell voltage-clamp configuration, each cannabinoid activated BK-1 within a similar concentration range. Because methAEA could potentiate BK-, BK-1, and BK-4 with similar efficacy, the -subunits may not be involved at the site of action for cannabinoids. Under cell-attached patch-clamp conditions, application of methAEA to the bathing solution increased BK channel activity; however, methAEA did not alter channel activity in the excised inside-out patch mode even when ATP was present on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Application of methAEA to HEK-BK- and HEK-BK-1 did not change intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Moreover, methAEA-induced potentiation of BK channel currents was not affected by pretreatment with a CB1 antagonist (AM251), modulators of G proteins (cholera and pertussis toxins) or by application of a selective CB2 agonist (JWH133). Inhibitors of CaM, PKG, and MAPKs (W7, KT5823, and PD-98059) did not affect the potentiation. Application of methAEA to mouse aortic myocytes significantly increased BK channel currents. This study provides the first direct evidence that unknown factors in the cytoplasm mediate the ability of endogenous cannabinoids to activate BK channel currents. Cannabinoids may be hyperpolarizing factors in cells, such as arterial myocytes, in which BK channels are highly expressed. anandamide; channel opener 相似文献

Big conductance Ca2+ activated K+ channels (BK channels) is an abundant channel present in almost all kind of tissue. The accurate quantity and especially the precise distribution of this channel in kidney epithelia are, however, still debated. The aim of the present study has therefore been to examine the presence of BK channels in kidney epithelia and determine the actual number and distribution of these channels. For this purpose, a selective peptidyl ligand for BK channels called iberiotoxin or the radiolabeled double mutant analog 125I-IbTX-D19Y/Y36F has been employed. The presence of BK channels were determined by a isotope flux assay where up to 44% of the total K+ channel activity could be inhibited by iberiotoxin indicating that BK channels are widely present in kidney epithelia. Consistent with these functional studies, 125I-IbTX-D19Y/Y36F binds to membrane vesicles from outer cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla with Bmax values (in fmol/mg protein) of 6.8, 2.6 and 21.4, respectively. These studies were performed applying rabbit kidney epithelia tissue. The distinct distribution of BK channels in both rabbit and rat kidney epithelia was confirmed by autoradiography and immunohistochemical studies. In cortical collecting ducts, BK channels were exclusively located in principal cells while no channels could be found in intercalated cells. The abundant and distinct distribution in kidney epithelia talks in favor for BK channels being important contributors in maintaining salt and water homeostasis. 相似文献

《Channels (Austin, Tex.)》2013,7(4):250-260
Large-conductance Ca2+- and voltage-gated Slo1 BK channels are allosterically activated by depolarization and intracellular ligands such as Ca2+. Of the two high-affinity Ca2+ sensors present in the channel, the RCK1 sensor also mediates H+-dependent activation of the channel. In this study, we examined the comparative mechanisms of the channel activation by Ca2+ and H+. Steady-state macroscopic conductance-voltage measurements as well as single-channel openings at negative voltages where voltage-sensor activation is negligible showed that at respective saturating concentrations Ca2+ is more effective in relative stabilization of the open conformation than H+. Calculations using the Debye-Hückel formulation suggest that small structural changes in the RCK1 sensor, on the order of few angstroms, may accompany the H+-mediated opening of the channel. While the efficacy of H+ in activation of the channel is less than that of Ca2+, H+ more effectively accelerates the activation kinetics when examined at the concentrations equipotent on macroscopic voltage-dependent activation. The RCK1 sensor therefore is capable of transducing the nature of the ligand bound and transmits qualitatively different information to the channel's permeation gate. 相似文献

The effects ofcyanide (CN) on whole cell current measured with the perforated-patchmethod were studied in adrenal medullary cells. Application of CNproduced initially inward and then outward currents at 52 mV ormore negative. As the membrane potential was hyperpolarized, amplitudeand latency of the outward current (Io) by CNbecame small and long, respectively. A decrease in the externalNa+ concentration did not affectthe latency for CN-inducedIo but enhancedthe amplitude markedly. The CNIo reversedpolarity at 85 mV, close to the Nernst potential forK+, and was suppressed by theK+ channel blockers curare andapamin but not by glibenclamide, suggesting thatIo is due to theactivation of Ca2+-dependentK+ channels. Consistent with thisnotion, the Ca2+-mobilizingagents, muscarine and caffeine, also producedIo. Exposure toCN in a Ca2+-deficient medium for4 min abolished caffeine- or muscarine-induced Io withoutdevelopment ofIo, and additionof Ca2+ to the CN-containingsolution inducedIo. We concludethat exposure to CN producesCa2+-dependentK+ currents in an externalCa2+-dependent manner, probablyvia facilitation of Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

Ca2+-activated K+ channels in murine endothelial cells: block by intracellular calcium and magnesium
The intermediate (IK(Ca)) and small (SK(Ca)) conductance Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels in endothelial cells (ECs) modulate vascular diameter through regulation of EC membrane potential. However, contribution of IK(Ca) and SK(Ca) channels to membrane current and potential in native endothelial cells remains unclear. In freshly isolated endothelial cells from mouse aorta dialyzed with 3 microM free [Ca(2+)](i) and 1 mM free [Mg(2+)](i), membrane currents reversed at the potassium equilibrium potential and exhibited an inward rectification at positive membrane potentials. Blockers of large-conductance, Ca(2+)-sensitive potassium (BK(Ca)) and strong inward rectifier potassium (K(ir)) channels did not affect the membrane current. However, blockers of IK(Ca) channels, charybdotoxin (ChTX), and of SK(Ca) channels, apamin (Ap), significantly reduced the whole-cell current. Although IK(Ca) and SK(Ca) channels are intrinsically voltage independent, ChTX- and Ap-sensitive currents decreased steeply with membrane potential depolarization. Removal of intracellular Mg(2+) significantly increased these currents. Moreover, concomitant reduction of the [Ca(2+)](i) to 1 microM caused an additional increase in ChTX- and Ap-sensitive currents so that the currents exhibited theoretical outward rectification. Block of IK(Ca) and SK(Ca) channels caused a significant endothelial membrane potential depolarization (approximately 11 mV) and decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) in mesenteric arteries in the absence of an agonist. These results indicate that [Ca(2+)](i) can both activate and block IK(Ca) and SK(Ca) channels in endothelial cells, and that these channels regulate the resting membrane potential and intracellular calcium in native endothelium. 相似文献

Quinine inhibits Ca2+-independent K+ channels whereas tetraethylammonium inhibits Ca2+-activated K+ channels in insulin-secreting cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The effects of quinine and tetraethylammonium (TEA) on single-channel K+ currents recorded from excised membrane patches of the insulin-secreting cell line RINm5F were investigated. When 100 microM quinine was applied to the external membrane surface K+ current flow through inward rectifier channels was abolished, while a separate voltage-activated high-conductance K+ channel was not significantly affected. On the other hand, 2 mM TEA abolished current flow through voltage-activated high-conductance K+ channels without influencing the inward rectifier K+ channel. Quinine is therefore not a specific inhibitor of Ca2+-activated K+ channels, but instead a good blocker of the Ca2+-independent K+ inward rectifier channel whereas TEA specifically inhibits the high-conductance voltage-activated K+ channel which is also Ca2+-activated. 相似文献

Modulation of Ca2+- and voltage-activated K+ channels by internal Mg2+ in salivary acinar cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
High-conductance K+ channels are known to be activated by internal Ca2+ and membrane depolarization. The effects of changes in internal Mg2+ concentration have now been investigated in patch-clamp single-channel current experiments on excised membrane fragments from mouse acinar cells. It is shown that Mg2+ in the concentration range 10(-6)-10(-3) M evokes a dose-dependent K+ channel activation at a constant Ca2+ concentration of 10(-8) M. The demonstration that changes in [Mg2+]i between 2.5 X 10(-4) and 1.13 X 10(-3) M has effects on the channel open-state probability indicates that fluctuations in [Mg2+]i in intact cells may influence the control of channel opening. 相似文献

Bovine adrenocortical cells express bTREK-1 K+ channels that set the resting membrane potential (V(m)) and couple angiotensin II (AngII) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) receptors to membrane depolarization and corticosteroid secretion. In this study, it was discovered that AngII inhibits bTREK-1 by separate Ca2+- and ATP hydrolysis-dependent signaling pathways. When whole cell patch clamp recordings were made with pipette solutions that support activation of both Ca2+- and ATP-dependent pathways, AngII was significantly more potent and effective at inhibiting bTREK-1 and depolarizing adrenal zona fasciculata cells, than when either pathway is activated separately. External ATP also inhibited bTREK-1 through these two pathways, but ACTH displayed no Ca2+-dependent inhibition. AngII-mediated inhibition of bTREK-1 through the novel Ca2+-dependent pathway was blocked by the AT1 receptor antagonist losartan, or by including guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) in the pipette solution. The Ca2+-dependent inhibition of bTREK-1 by AngII was blunted in the absence of external Ca2+ or by including the phospholipase C antagonist U73122, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor antagonist 2-amino-ethoxydiphenyl borate, or a calmodulin inhibitory peptide in the pipette solution. The activity of unitary bTREK-1 channels in inside-out patches from adrenal zona fasciculata cells was inhibited by application of Ca2+ (5 or 10 microM) to the cytoplasmic membrane surface. The Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin also inhibited bTREK-1 currents through channels expressed in CHO-K1 cells. These results demonstrate that AngII and selected paracrine factors that act through phospholipase C inhibit bTREK-1 in adrenocortical cells through simultaneous activation of separate Ca2+- and ATP hydrolysis-dependent signaling pathways, providing for efficient membrane depolarization. The novel Ca2+-dependent pathway is distinctive in its lack of ATP dependence, and is clearly different from the calmodulin kinase-dependent mechanism by which AngII modulates T-type Ca2+ channels in these cells. 相似文献

Charybdotoxin(ChTX) is a specific blocker ofCa2+-activatedK+ channels. The voltage- andtime-dependent dynamics of ChTX block were investigated using caninecolonic myocytes and the whole cell patch-clamp technique with step andramp depolarization protocols. During prolonged step depolarizations,K+ current slowly increased in thecontinued presence of ChTX (100 nM). The rate of increase depended onmembrane potential with an e-foldchange for every 60 mV. During ramp depolarizations, the effectivenessof ChTX block depended significantly on the rate of the ramp (50% at0.01 V/s to 80% at 0.5 V/s). Results are consistent with a mechanismin which ChTX slowly "unbinds" in a voltage-dependent manner. Asimple kinetic model was developed in which ChTX binds to both open andclosed states. Slow unbinding is consistent with ChTX having littleeffect on electrical slow waves recorded from circular muscle whilecausing depolarization and contraction of longitudinal muscle, whichdisplays more rapid "spikes." Resting membrane potential andmembrane potential dynamics are important determinants of ChTX action. 相似文献

Small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK) channels are widely expressed in neuronal tissues where they underlie post-spike hyperpolarizations, regulate spike-frequency adaptation, and shape synaptic responses. SK channels constitutively interact with calmodulin (CaM), which serves as Ca2+ sensor, and with protein kinase CK2 and protein phosphatase 2A, which modulate their Ca2+ gating. By recording coupled activities of Ca2+ and SK2 channels, we showed that SK2 channels can be inhibited by neurotransmitters independently of changes in the activity of the priming Ca2+ channels. This inhibition involvesSK2-associated CK2 and results from a 3-fold reduction in the Ca2+ sensitivity of channel gating. CK2phosphorylated SK2-bound CaM but not KCNQ2-bound CaM, thereby selectively regulating SK2 channels. We extended these observations to sensory neurons by showing that noradrenaline inhibits SK current and increases neuronal excitability in aCK2-dependent fashion. Hence, neurotransmitter-initiated signaling cascades can dynamically regulate Ca2+ sensitivity of SK channels and directly influence somatic excitability. 相似文献

Coassembly of big conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels and L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in rat brain 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Based on electrophysiological studies, Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels and voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels appear to be located in close proximity in neurons. Such colocalization would ensure selective and rapid activation of K(+) channels by local increases in the cytosolic calcium concentration. The nature of the apparent coupling is not known. In the present study we report a direct coassembly of big conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK) and L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in rat brain. Saturation immunoprecipitation studies were performed on membranes labeled for BK channels and precipitated with antibodies against alpha(1C) and alpha(1D) L-type Ca(2+) channels. To confirm the specificity of the interaction, precipitation experiments were carried out also in reverse order. Also, additive precipitation was performed because alpha(1C) and alpha(1D) L-type Ca(2+) channels always refer to separate ion channel complexes. Finally, immunochemical studies showed a distinct but overlapping expression pattern of the two types of ion channels investigated. BK and L-type Ca(2+) channels were colocalized in various compartments throughout the rat brain. Taken together, these results demonstrate a direct coassembly of BK channels and L-type Ca(2+) channels in certain areas of the brain. 相似文献

We usedsingle-channel recording techniques to identify and characterize alarge-conductance,Ca2+-independentK+ channel in the colonicsecretory cell line T84. In symmetric potassium gluconate, this channelhad a linear current-voltage relationship with a single-channelconductance of 161 pS. Channel open probability(Po) wasincreased at depolarizing potentials. Partial substitution of bathK+ withNa+ indicated a permeability ratioof K+ toNa+ of 25:1. ChannelPo was reduced byextracellular Ba2+. Event-durationanalysis suggested a linear kinetic model for channel gating having asingle open state and three closed states: C3C2C1O.Arachidonic acid (AA) increased thePo of thechannel, with an apparent stimulatory constant(Ks)of 1.39 µM. Neither channel open time (O) nor the fast closed time(C1) was affected by AA. Incontrast, AA dramatically reduced mean closed time by decreasing bothC3 andC2. Thecis-unsaturated fatty acid linoleate increased Poalso, whereas the saturated fatty acid myristate and thetrans-unsaturated fatty acid elaidatedid not affectPo. This channelis activated also by negative pressure applied to the pipette duringinside-out recording. Thus we determined the effect of thestretch-activated channel blockers amiloride and Gd3+ on theK+ channel after activation by AA.Amiloride (2 mM) on the extracellular side reduced single-channelamplitude in a voltage-dependent manner, whereasGd3+ (100 µM) had no effect onchannel activity. Activation of this K+ channel may be important duringstimulation of Cl secretionby agonists that use AA as a second messenger (e.g., vasoactiveintestinal polypeptide, adenosine) or during the volume regulatoryresponse to cell swelling. 相似文献

The role of anion channels and Ca2+ in addition to K+ channels in the physiological volume regulation of murine spermatozoa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies in the human, transgenic mice, and cattle indicate that sperm cell volume regulation plays an important role in male fertility as spermatozoa encounter a hypo-osmotic challenge upon ejaculation into the female tract. Physiological regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was examined using flow cytometry in murine sperm released into incubation medium mimicking uterine osmolality and including putative channel inhibitors. The involvement of K+ channels was indicated by the recovery of volume regulation by the K+ ionophore valinomycin in defective sperm from infertile transgenic mice, and from blockage of RVD by quinine in normal sperm. However, in neither case was the recovery complete. The involvement of volume-sensitive osmolyte and anion channels (VSOAC) were investigated using blockers effective in other cell types. NPPB (5-nitro-2(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid) and tamoxifen inhibited RVD but SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid) at 0.4 and 1 mM had no effect whereas DIDS (di-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid) at 1 mM enhanced RVD. Verapamil, but not another P-glycoprotein antagonist cyclosporin, caused sperm swelling which persisted in the presence of valinomycin, in Ca2+-free medium and in the presence of thapsigargin, but swelling was abolished by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Nifedipine was slightly effective in blocking RVD. Analysis by Western blotting failed to reveal ClC-2 and ClC-3 members of the chloride channel family in murine or rat sperm proteins despite signal bands in positive tissue controls. These findings implicate the involvement of some unidentified VSOAC in sperm volume regulation, which is probably Ca+-dependent. 相似文献

Cellular redox change regulates pulmonary vascular tone by affecting function of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins, enzymes, and second messengers. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that functional modulation of ion channels by thiol oxidation contributes to regulation of excitation-contraction coupling in isolated pulmonary artery (PA) rings. Acute treatment with the thiol oxidant diamide produced a dose-dependent relaxation in PA rings; the IC50 was 335 and 58 microM for 40 mM K+ - and 2 microM phenylephrine-induced PA contraction, respectively. The diamide-mediated pulmonary vasodilation was affected by neither functional removal of endothelium nor 8-bromoguanosine-3'-5'-cyclic monophosphate (50 microM) and HA-1004 (30 microM). A rise in extracellular K+ concentration (from 20 to 80 mM) attenuated the thiol oxidant-induced PA relaxation. Passive store depletion by cyclopiazonic acid (50 microM) and active store depletion by phenylephrine (in the absence of external Ca2+ both induced PA contraction due to capacitative Ca2+ entry. Thiol oxidation by diamide significantly attenuated capacitative Ca2+ entry-induced PA contraction due to active and passive store depletion. The PA rings isolated from left and right PA branches appeared to respond differently to store depletion. Although the active tension induced by passive store depletion was comparable, the active tension induced by active store depletion was 3.5-fold greater in right branches than in left branches. These data indicate that thiol oxidation causes pulmonary vasodilation by activating K+ channels and inhibiting store-operated Ca2+ channels, which subsequently attenuate Ca2+ influx and decrease cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. The mechanisms involved in thiol oxidation-mediated pulmonary vasodilation or activation of K+ channels and inhibition of store-operated Ca2+ channels appear to be independent of functional endothelium and of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase pathway. 相似文献

A role of pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive pathway in regulation of glucose-stimulated Ca2+ signaling in rat islet beta-cells was investigated by using clonidine as a selective agonist to alpha2-adrenoceptors which link to the pathway. An elevation of extracellular glucose concentration from 5.5 to 22.2 mM (glucose stimulation) increased the levels of [Ca2+]i of beta-cells, and clonidine reversibly reduced the elevated levels of [Ca2+]i. This clonidine effect was antagonized by yohimbine, and abolished in beta-cells pre-treated with PTX. Clonidine showed little effect on membrane currents including those through ATP-sensitive K+ channels induced by voltage ramps from -90 to -50 mV. Clonidine showed little effect on the magnitude of whole-cell currents through L-type Ca2+ channels (ICa(L)), but increased the inactivation process of the currents. Clonidine increased the magnitude of the voltage-dependent K+ currents (IVK). These clonidine effects on ICa(L) and IVK were abolished in beta-cells treated with PTX or GDP-betaS. These results suggest that the PTX-sensitive pathway increases IVK activity and decreases ICa(L) activity of islet beta-cells, resulting in a decrease in the levels of [Ca2+]i elevated by depolarization-induced Ca2+ entry. This mechanism seems responsible at least in part for well-known inhibitory action of PTX-sensitive pathway on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from islet beta-cells. 相似文献
