The Ca2+-activated K+ channel and its functional roles in smooth muscle cells of guinea pig taenia coli

Currents through single potassium channels were studied in cell-attached or inside-out patches from collagenase-dispersed smooth muscle cells of the guinea pig taenia coli. Under conditions mimicking the physiological state with [K+]i = 135 mM: [K+]o = 5.4 mM, three distinct types of K+ channel were identified with conductances around 0 mV of 147, 94, and 63 pS. The activities of the 94- and 63-pS channel were observed infrequently. The 147-pS channel was most abundant. It has a reversal potential of approximately -75 mV. It is sensitive to [Ca2+]i and to membrane potential. At -30 mV, the probability of a channel being open is at a minimum. At more positive voltages, the probability follows Boltzman distribution. A 10-fold change in [Ca2+]i causes a 25-mV negative shift of the voltage where half of the channels are open; an 11.3-mV change in membrane potential produces an e-fold increase in the probability of the channel being open when P is low. At voltages between -30 and -50 mV, the open probability increases in an anomalous manner because of a large decrease of the channel closed time without much change in the channel open time. This anomalous activity may play a regulatory role in maintaining the resting potential. The histograms of channel open and closed time fit well, respectively, with single and double exponential distributions. Upon step depolarizations by 100-ms pulses, the 147-pS channel opens with a brief delay. The delay shortens and both the number of open channels and the open time increase with increasing positivity of the potential. The averaged currents during the step depolarizations closely resemble the delayed rectifying outward K+ currents in whole-cell recordings.

三羟异黄酮对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度的影响

用激光共聚焦显微镜观察研究三羟异黄酮(genistein,GST)对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度([Ca^2 ]i)的影响。结果用相对荧光强度(FI-F0／FX0,％)表示。实验结果显示,在正常台氏液、无钙台氏液和正常台氏液中加入3mmol／L EGTA后,GST(10～40μmol／L)浓度依赖性地降低细胞内钙浓度。蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶抑制剂正钒酸钠(sodium orthovanadate)和L-型Ca^2 通道激动剂Bay K8644可部分抑制正常台氏液时GST的效应。当细胞外液钙浓度由1mmol／L增加到10mmol／L而诱发心室肌细胞钙超载时,部分心室肌细胞产生可传播的钙波,GST(40μmol／L)可降低钙波的传播速度和持续时间,最终阻断钙波。以上结果提示,GST降低心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度,此作用与其抑制电压依赖性Ca^2 通道、减弱酪氨酸激酶抑制和豚鼠心室肌细胞肌浆网内钙释放有关。     

Ca2(+)-sensitive K+ channel in aortic smooth muscle of rats

We measured K+ channel activity in inside-out patches of cell membrane from aortic vascular smooth muscle cultured (Passages 1-3) from Wistar, Wistar-Kyoto, and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). With [Ca2+]i between 25 and 100 nm and 150 mm K+ on both sides of the membrane, the conductance of this channel was 55 +/- 7 pS (slope of current-voltage curve through 0 mV) and the current was outwardly rectified. There was no difference in single-channel conductance among the three rat strains. Increasing negative holding voltages or increasing [Ca2+]i, increased the probability of this type channel being open (Npo; P less than 0.01); SHR had a larger NPo (P less than 0.01). Compared with cells from Wistar and Wistar-Kyoto, cells from SHR also had the longest mean open time. The increased NPo and mean open time we observed in this K+ channel of cells from SHR could contribute, at least in part, to the increased membrane K+ permeability, reported previously.     

Recovery from C-type inactivation is modulated by extracellular potassium.

Extracellular potassium modulates recovery from C-type inactivation of Kv1.3 in human T lymphocytes. The results of whole-cell patch clamp recordings show that there is a linear increase in recovery rate with increasing [K+]o. An increase from 5 to 150 mM K+o causes a sixfold acceleration of recovery rate at a holding potential of -90 mV. Our results suggest that 1) a low-affinity K+ binding site is involved in recovery, 2) the rate of recovery increases with hyperpolarization, 3) potassium must bind to the channel before inactivation to speed its recovery, and 4) recovery rate depends on external [K+] but not on the magnitude of the driving force through open channels. We present a model in which a bound K+ ion destabilizes the inactivated state to increase the rate of recovery of C-type inactivation, thereby providing a mechanism for autoregulation of K+ channel activity. The ability of K+ to regulate its own conductance may play a role in modulating voltage-dependent immune function.     

Mechanisms of glutamate release elicited in rat cerebrocortical nerve endings by 'pathologically' elevated extraterminal K+ concentrations

Extracellular [K+] can increase during some pathological conditions, resulting into excessive glutamate release through multiple mechanisms. We here investigate the overflow of [3H]D-aspartate ([3H] D-ASP) and of endogenous glutamate elicited by increasing [K+] from purified rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes. Depolarization with [K+] 15 mmol/L were prevented by the glutamate transporter inhibitors DL-threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate (DL-TBOA) and dihydrokainate. Differently, the overflows of endogenous glutamate provoked by [K+] > 15 mmol/L were insensitive to both inhibitors; the external Ca2+-independent glutamate overflow caused by 50 mmol/L KCl was prevented by bafilomycin, by chelating intraterminal Ca2+, by blocking the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and, for a small portion, by blocking anion channels. In contrast to purified synaptosomes, the 50 mmol/L K+-evoked release of endogenous glutamate or [3H]D-ASP was inhibited by DL-TBOA in crude synaptosomes; moreover, it was external Ca2+-insensitive and blocked by DL-TBOA in purified gliosomes, suggesting that carrier-mediated release of endogenous glutamate provoked by excessive [K+] in CNS tissues largely originates from glia.     

Proton modulation of a Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel from rat skeletal muscle incorporated into planar bilayers

The effect of pH on the activation of a Ca-activated K+ [K(Ca)] channel from rat skeletal muscle incorporated into planar lipid bilayers was studied. Experiments were done at different intracellular Ca2+ and proton concentrations. Changes in pH modified channel kinetics only from the Ca-sensitive face of the channel. At constant Ca2+ concentration, intracellular acidification induced a decrease in the open probability (Po) and a shift of the channel activation curves toward the right along the voltage axis. The displacement was 23.5 mV per pH unit. This displacement was due to a change in the half saturation voltage (Vo) and not to a change in channel voltage dependence. The shifts in Vo induced by protons appeared to be independent of Ca2+ concentration. The slope of the Hill plot of the open-closed equilibrium vs. pH was close to one, suggesting that a minimum of one proton is involved in the proton-driven channel closing reaction. The change in Po with variations in pH was due to both a decrease in the mean open time (To) and an increase in the mean closed time (Tc). At constant voltage, the mean open time of the channel was a linear function of [Ca2+] and the mean closed time was a linear function of 1/[Ca2+]2. Changes in the internal pH modified the slope, but not the intercept of the linear relations To vs. [Ca2+] and Tc vs. 1/[Ca2+]2. On the basis of these results an economical kinetic model of the effect of pH on this channel is proposed. It is concluded that protons do not affect the open-closed reaction, but rather weaken Ca2+ binding to all the conformational states of the channel. Moreover, competitive models in which Ca2+ and H+ cannot bind to the same open or closed state are inconsistent with the data.     

Extracellular K+ elevates outward currents through Kir2.1 channels by increasing single-channel conductance

Outward currents through inward rectifier K+ channels (Kir) play a pivotal role in determining resting membrane potential and in controlling excitability in many cell types. Thus, the regulation of outward Kir current (IK1) is important for appropriate physiological functions. It is known that outward IK1 increases with increasing extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o), but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. A "K+-activation of K+-channel" hypothesis and a "blocking-particle" model have been proposed to explain the [K+]o-dependence of outward IK1. Yet, these mechanisms have not been examined at the single-channel level. In the present study, we explored the mechanisms that determine the amplitudes of outward IK1 at constant driving forces [membrane potential (Vm) minus reversal potential (EK)]. We found that increases in [K+]o elevated the single-channel current to the same extent as macroscopic IK1 but did not affect the channel open probability at a constant driving force. In addition, spermine-binding kinetics remained unchanged when [K+]o ranged from 1 to 150 mM at a constant driving force. We suggest the regulation of K+ permeation by [K+]o as a new mechanism for the [K+]o-dependence of outward IK1.     

Kinetics of Ca2+-activated K+ channels from rabbit muscle incorporated into planar bilayers. Evidence for a Ca2+ and Ba2+ blockade

The interaction of Ca2+ and Ba2+ with a Ca2+-activated K+ channel from rabbit skeletal muscle membranes is studied in planar lipid bilayers. At [Ca2+] greater than or equal to 100 microM in the cis side (the side to which the vesicles are added) and at positive voltages, the channel kinetics consisted of bursts of activity interrupted by long periods of quiescence. We found that the reciprocal of the mean burst time increases linearly with [Ca2+], whereas the mean time for the quiescent (closed) periods is independent of [Ca2+]. The number of quiescent periods is reduced by increasing [K+]. Micromolar amounts of cis Ba2+ do not activate the channel, but induce similar "slow" closings. Also, in this case, the mean burst time is inversely proportional to the [Ba2+] and the mean closed time is independent of [Ba2+]. Raising [K+] either symmetrically or only in the trans side relieved the Ba2+ effect. trans Ba2+ also induces changes in the slow kinetics, but in millimolar amounts. These results suggest that the quiescent periods correspond to a channel blocked by a Ba ion. The voltage dependence of the cis blockade indicates that the Ba2+ binding site is past the middle of the membrane field. The similarities in the slow kinetics induced by Ca2+ and Ba2+ suggest that Ca2+ blocks the channel by binding to the same site. However, binding of Ca2+ to the site is 10(5)- fold weaker.
