The ionic mechanisms of hyperpolarization produced by applying oxytocin (OT) were investigated at the membrane of identifiedHelix pomatia neurons. Two types of neuron were known to exist, in one of which hyperpolarization is produced by a reduction in chloride ions at the membrane and a rise in membrane permeability to potassium ions in the other. In the first of these, response to OT had a reversal potential of –40 mV and decreased when furosemide and tolbutamide were added to the external medium. In the second case, the potential of the reversal of the response to OT was –70 mV. Upon doubling of potassium ion concentration in the external solution it was shifted towards depolarization by 15 mV. It is sugested thatHelix pomatia neurons have different types of OT receptors, some of which, when activated, manifest reduced chloride permeability at the membrane (probably through the cell cyclase system) with a rise in potassium permeability at the membrane in others.A.

Ionic mechanisms of EPSP generation and depolarization induced by iontophoretic application of acetylcholine (ACh) and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) — acetylcholine and serotonin potentials — were investigated in neurons of the isolated rabbit superior cervical ganglion by means of intracellular microelectrodes. The reversal potentials (Er) for EPSP and the ACh-potential were –14.4±1.6 and –16.5±1.2 mV respectively, and they were about the same for the 5-HT potential. In some neurons (about one-third) much more negative values for Er were obtained for EPSP and the ACh-potential by extrapolation, probably due to an increase in the resistance of their membrane during hyperpolarization. A decrease in the external sodium and potassium concentrations was shown to make Er for EPSP and the ACh-potential more negative, whereas an increase in the external potassium concentration made it more positive than in normal solution; a change in the external chloride concentration did not alter Er. It is suggested that the excitatory transmitter and exogenous ACh (and also, probably, 5-HT) share the same ionic mechanism of action of the membrane, which includes an increase in the permeability of the membrane to two ions — sodium and potassium — simultaneously.A.

Research was carried out into the ionic aspects of depolarization potentials produced inHelix lucorum neuron RPa4 by injecting three cholinomimetics into the soma: acetylcholine, nicotine, and muscarine. Substances were used suppressing Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl conductance at the membrane. Acetylcholine brought about increased Na+, Ca2+; and Cl conductance. As the choline component was only slight, due to the similarity of membrane and resting potential for chloride, it might be deduced that the prevailing response to acetylcholine is associated with chemically controlled input of Na+ and Ca2+ into the cell. Nicotine and muscarine induced mainly sodium and calcium conductance respectively.M. V. Lomonosov State University, Moscow.

Ionic mechanisms of the transmembrane current evoked by injection of cyclic AMP into identified neurons ofHelix pomatia were investigated by the voltage clamp method. Injection of cyclic AMP into neurons RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 was shown to cause the development of a two-component transmembrane (cyclic AMP) current. The current-voltage characteristic curve of the early component is linear in the region from –40 to –90 mV; the reversal potential of the early component, determined by extrapolation, lies between –5 and +20 mV; the current-voltage characteristic curve of the late component also is linear and has a reversal potential between –55 and –60 mV. A decrease in the sodium concentration in the external medium from 100 to 25 mM led to a decrease in amplitude of the cyclic AMP current and to a shift of the reversal potential for the early component by 30–32 mV toward hyperpolarization. It is suggested that the early component of the cyclic AMP current in neurons RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 is associated with an increase in permeability of the neuron membrane chiefly for sodium ions, whereas the late component is correspondingly connected with permeability for potassium ions. Injection of cyclic AMP also caused the appearance of a transmembrane inward current in neuron LPa8, but it was independent of the holding potential and was unaccompanied by any change in membrane permeability. It is suggested that this current may be due to a change in the activity of the electrogenic ion pump.A. A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.

Application of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) to rat dorsal root ganglion neurons under conditions in which potassium conductance was blocked by cesium ions elicited depolarizing responses followed by an increase in membrane conductance. The responses did not exhibit desensitization and were due to activation of 5-HT receptors of the third type (5-HT3Rs), since they were insensitive to methysergide, the 5-HT2R antagonist, but were inhibited by tropicetrone (ISC 205–930) and metoclopramide, the 5-HT3R antagonists. The reversal potential of the 5-HT-induced depolarizing responses was –11.9 mV; their amplitude decreased following a decrease in extracellular Na+ concentration but remained constant after intracellular injection of GTP. The amplitude of the responses increased following elevation of intracellular cAMP concentration caused by theophylline or sodium fluoride whose potentiating effect was reduced by butamide, a protein kinase A inhibitor. Potentiation of the 5-HT-induced responses was also produced by increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration following either direct intracellular injections or a burst of action potentials. The potentiation could be prevented by trifluoroperazine, the calmodulin inhibitor. The 5-HT effects were also potentiated by methylfurmetide, an activator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The effect of methylfurmetide was slightly decreased by trifluoroperazine and was markedly decreased by polymixin B, a protein kinase C inhibitor. The effects of 5-HT were also enhanced by ethanol.Neirofiziologiya/Neurophysiology, Vol. 25, pp. 258–263, July–August, 1993.  相似文献

Reversal potentials of transmembrane ionic currents induced by glutamate were determined in various D neurons ofHelix pomatia. Two types of neurons were found with mean reversal potentials of –10.6±1.2 and –40.0±0.6 mV. Neurons of the first group responded under ordinary conditions to glutamate application by a volley of action potentials. Neurons of the second group did not generate action potentials under the same conditions during glutamate application. With an increase in the dose of mediator the amplitude of D responses in these neurons increased only up to a certain limit, without reaching the critical depolarization level of the cell; a fall in the external chloride ion concentration led to a decrease in their reversal potential. The possible ionic mechanisms of glutamate-dependent depolarization responses of these groups of neurons are discussed.A. A.

Two types of slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) with different properties were found in neurons of the rabbit superior cervical sympathetic ganglion. In our group of neurons slow EPSPs increased during artificial hyperpolarization and decreased during depolarization of the membrane. The input resistance of the cells fell or remained unchanged during the development of slow EPSPs. In the second group of cells slow EPSPs increased during depolarization and decreased during hyperpolarization. The reversal potential of these responses, determined by extrapolation, was –78.9±3.6 mV. Depolarization responses to activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors by acetylcholine or carbachol developed in 53% of neurons with an increase in input resistance and had a reversal potential of –83.2±6.7 mV. It is suggested that in cells of the first group the ionic mechanism of the slow EPSPs is similar to that of the fast EPSPs, whereas in cells of the second group its main component is a decrease in the potassium conductance of the membrane.A.

Changes in membrane potential and conductance were studied in neurons of isolated sympathetic ganglia ofRana ridibunda during perfusion with cholinomimetics and cholinolytics. Activation of nicotinic (N) acetylcholine receptors by carbachol, suberyldicholine, and tetramethylammonium led to depolarization with an increase in conductance, whereas activation of muscarinic (M) acetylcholine receptors by perfusion with carbachol or 5-methylfurmethide, led to depolarization with a decrease or (less frequently) an increase in conductance. The M-cholinolytic atropine was shown to cause depolarization with an increase in conductance if perfusion with atropine was preceded by perfusion with carbachol.A. A.

The influence of lithium ions on the electrical activity of the nerve cells of the leech,Hirudo medicinalis, was investigated by the method of microelectrode recording. It was discovered that the electrical activity of the giant nerve cells disappears rapidly in a solution with lithium ions. In such a solution, the membrane of these cells is depolarized by 5–7 mV; however, polarization of the cells with direct current does not lead to a restoration of their activity. Possible mechanisms of the inability of lithium ions to replace sodium ions in the generation of the action potentials of leech nerve cells are discussed.I. P.

Intracellular recordings were made from identified neurons in the suboesophageal ganglionic mass of the snail, Helix aspersa. The ionic mechanisms associated with acetylcholine excitation and inhibition, dopamine excitation and inhibition, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) excitation and inhibition and serotonin excitation were investigated. Acetylcholine excitation was found to involve an initial increase in sodium conductance while acetylcholine inhibition was a pure chloride event which reversed at membrane potentials more negative than the chloride equilibrium potential. Dopamine excitation appeared to involve only an increase in sodium conductance while serotonin excitation involved an increase in conductance to both sodium and calcium ions. Dopamine inhibition was associated with an increase in potassium conductance but failed to reverse at membrane potentials more negative than the potassium equilibrium potential. GABA excitation involved conductance increases to both sodium and chloride ions while GABA inhibition was a pure chloride event. An attempt was made to estimate the degree of co-operativity of the putative transmitters with their receptors using log-log and Hill plots. The slopes of the line for the log-log plots for acetylcholine excitation and inhibition were 0.88 and 1.1, respectively, suggesting the interaction of one molecule of acetylcholine with the receptor. The slope of the log-log plot for dopamine inhibition was 0.46 while that for serotonin excitation was 0.75. The Hill plots for GABA excitation and inhibition were 1.64 and 1.42, respectively, suggesting that two molecules of GABA are required for receptor activation.  相似文献

Summary Patch-clamp measurements were made on osteoblast-like cells isolated from embryonic chick calvaria. Cell-attachedpatch measurements revealed two types of high conductance (100–250 pS) channels, which rapidly activated upon 50–100 mV depolarization. One type showed sustained and the other transient activation over a 10-sec period of depolarization. The single-channel conductances of these channel types were about 100 or 250 pS, depending on whether the pipettes were filled with a low K+ (3mm) or high K+ (143mm) saline, respectively. The different reversal potentials under these conditions were consistent with at least K+ conduction. Whole-cell measurements revealed the existence of two types of outward rectifying conductances. The first type conducts K+ ions and activates within 20–200 msec (depending on the stimulus) upon depolarizing voltage steps from <–60 mV to >–30 mV. It inactivates almost completely with a time constant of 2–3 sec. Recovery from inactivation is biphasic with an initial rapid phase (1–2 sec) followed by a slow phase (>20 sec). The second whole-cell conductance activates at positive membrane potentials of >+50 mV. It also rapidly turns on upon depolarizing voltage steps. Activation may partly disappear at the higher voltages. Its single channels of 140 pS conductance were identified in the whole cell and did conduct K+ ions but were not highly Cl or Na+ selective. The results show that osteoblasts may express various types of voltage controlled ionic channels. We predict a role for such channels in mineral metabolism of bone tissue and its control by osteoblasts.  相似文献

Summary Intracellular potentials were measured, using a piezoelectric electromechanical transducer to impale Ehrlich ascites tumor cells with capillary microelectrodes. In sodium Ringer's, the potential immediately after the penetration was –24±7 mV, and decayed to a stable value of about –8 mV within a few msec. The peak potentials disappeared in potassium Ringer's and reappeared immediately after resuspension in sodium. Ringer's, whereas the stable potentials were only slightly influenced by the change of medium. The peak potential is in good agreement with the Nernst potential for chloride. This is also the case when cell sodium and potassium have been changed by addition of ouabain. It is concluded that the peak potentials represent the membrane potential of the unperturbed cell, and that chloride is in electrochemical equilibrium across the cell membrane.The membrane potential of about –11 mV previously reported corresponds to the stable potential in this study, and is considered as a junction potential between damaged cells and their environment. Similar potential differences were recorded between a homogenate of cells and Ringer's.The apparent membrane resistance of Ehrlich cells was about 70 cm2. This is two orders of magnitude less than the value calculated from36Cl fluxes, and may, in part, represent a leak in the cell membrane.For comparison, the influence of an eventual leak on measurements in red cells and mitochondria is discussed.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted on brain isolated from the frogRana ridibunda using a current chop technique of transmembrane polarization and discrete measurement of membrane potential by a single microelectrode during intervals between waves of current. It was found that the current-voltage relationship of the motorneuron is non-linear; i.e., membrane resistance decreases considerably in step with increased depolarizing current. After the initial reduction, membrane resistance began to climb back when a more protracted current lasting 1–2 min was applied; consequently membrane potential level shifted towards more positive values of +50 mV and above at current levels of 40–60 nA. It then became possible to bring about complete reversal of monosynaptic EPSP produced in the lumbar motoneurons by stimulation of the brainstem reticular formation or by microelectrode stimulation of the ventrolateral tract descending fibers and to measure reversal potential of these EPSP directly, without resorting to computing or extrapolation. Measurements varied mainly between 0 and –10 mV.I. M. Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.

The ionic events underlying gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor activation on the cell body of a cockroach identified motor neuron were investigated by using current-clamp and voltage-clamp techniques. The reversal potential for GABA-induced hyperpolarization was -77.0 +/- 2.4 mV (mean +/- s.e.m.; n = 22). The reversal potential for GABA was highly sensitive to changes in external chloride, only weakly affected by changes in external potassium, and independent of changes in either sodium or calcium ion concentration. Intracellular ion-sensitive microelectrodes confirmed that an influx of chloride ions mediated the GABA response. Intracellular injection of acetate, citrate, sulphate, fluoride or ammonium caused no change in the reversal potential for GABA. Intracellular injection of chloride, bromide, chlorate, bromate, or methyl sulphate shifted the reversal potential for GABA to values more positive than resting membrane potential. Evidence for chloride accumulating and for extrusion mechanisms was examined by using putative inhibitors. However, internal application of ammonium ions, and external application of 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (SITS), 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS), acetazolamide, furosemide, ammonium, zinc and copper ions, were all without effect on the reversal potential for GABA.  相似文献

Summary Measurements were made of the kinetics and steady-state properties of the sodium conductance changes in the giant axon of the crabCarcinus maenas. The conductance measurements were made in the presence of small concentrations of tetrodotoxin and as much electrical compensation as possible in order to minimize errors caused by the series resistance. After an initial delay of 10–150 sec, the conductance increase during depolarizing voltage clamp pulses followed the Hodgkin-Huxley kinetics. Values of the time constant for the activation of the sodium conductance lay on a bell-shaped curve with a maximum under 180 sec at –40 mV (at 18°C). Values of the time constant for the inactivation of the sodium conductance were also fitted using a bell-shaped curve with a maximum under 7 msec at –70 mV. The effects of membrane potential on the fraction of Na channels available for activation studied using double pulse protocols suggest that hyperpolarizing potentials more negative than –100 mV lock a fraction of the Na channels in a closed conformation.  相似文献

It was shown during experiments on isolated frog brain (fromRana ridibunda) that response to microelectrophoretically injected glutamate on to various points on the somatodendritic motoneuronal membrane (GLU response) displayed the same properties as EPSP induced in the same motoneuron by activation of three different synaptic inputs. Techniques of transmembrane polarization and current chop by means of a single microelectrode were used in this research. Mean levels of reversal potentials of GLU response and EPSP occurring as a result of stimulating the reticular formation, dorsal root, and microstimulation of presynaptic elements at the point of glutamate application equaled –16.9 ± 1.7 (n=13), –6.8 ± 1.7 (n=13), –9.8 ± 1.8 (n=6), and –15.1 ± 1.4 mV (n=13), respectively. Summation of GLU response and EPSP were quasilinear. Changes (upwards) in conductance associated with GLU response did not exceed 10%. Findings would indicate that glutamate, acting on the postsynaptic membrane receptors, induces depolarization and may serve as transmitter in all three inputs investigated.I. M.

Changes in responses of frog sympathetic ganglion neurons to perfusion with cholinomimetics were studied during modification of acetylcholine receptors by dithiothreitol and ferricyanide. Perfusion with dithiothreitol suppressed responses to carbachol, suberyldicholine, and 5-methylfurmethide, whereas subsequent perfusion with ferricyanide partly restored responses to suberyldicholine but suppressed responses to 5-methylfurmethide. Acetylcholine and tetramethylammonium, used as protectors, protected nicotinic and muscarinic receptors against the action of dithiothreitol, but acetylcholine was more effective than tetramethylammonium for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is suggested that disulfide bonds, some of them located in the anionic centers of the receptors, are present in the recognition sites of acetylcholine receptors of the frog sympathetic ganglion.A.

Summary Like most other red cells, the giant erythrocytes ofAmphiuma means possess a system for rapid exchange of chloride across the membrane. Also, there are indications that the net transport of chloride in these cells is slow. The size ofAmphiuma erythrocytes allows direct measurements of membrane potential with microelectrodes. The present work exploits the possibility that such measurements can be used to give a quantitative estimate of the chloride conductance (G Cl) of the Amphiuma red cell membrane. The membrane potential was measured as a function of extracellular chloride concentration (5–120mM), using an impermeant anion (Para-amino-hippurate) as a substitute. Furthermore, the effect of different pH values (6.0–7.2) was studied. For each extracellular chloride concentration the membrane potential was determined at a pH at which hydroxyl, hydrogen, and bicarbonate ions were in electrochemical equilibrium. From these membrane potentials and the corresponding chloride concentrations in the medium (at constant intracellular ion concentrations), theG Cl of the membrane was calculated to be 3.9×10–7 {ie27-1} cm–2. This value is some six orders of magnitude smaller than that calculated from the rate of tracer exchange under equilibrium conditions. The experimental strategy used gives the value for a partial transference number which takes into account only ions which arenot in electrochemical equilibrium. Whereas this approach gives a value forG Cl, it does not permit calculation of the overall membrane conductance. From the calculated value ofG Cl it is possible to estimate that the maximal value of the combined conductances of hydroxyl (or proton) and bicarbonate ions is 0.6×10–7 {ie27-2} cm–2. The large discrepancy between the rate of exchange of chloride and its conductance is in agreement with measurements on human and sheep red cells employing the ionophore valinomycin to increase the potassium conductance of the membrane. The results in the present study were, however, obtained without valinomycin and an accompanying assumption of a constant field in the membrane. Therefore, the present measurements give independent support to the above mentioned conclusions.  相似文献

The first response of brown adipocytes to adrenergic stimulation is a rapid depolarizing conductance increase mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptors. We used patch recording techniques on cultured brown fat cells from neonatal rats to characterize this conductance. Measurements in perforated patch clamped cells showed that fast depolarizing responses were frequent in cells maintained in culture for 1 d or less, but were seen less often in cells cultured for longer periods. Ion substitution showed that the depolarization was due to a selective increase in membrane chloride permeability. The reversal potential for the depolarizing current in perforated patch clamped cells indicated that intracellular chloride concentrations were significantly higher than expected if chloride were passively distributed. The chloride conductance could be activated by increases in intracellular calcium, either by exposing intact cells to the ionophore A23187 or by using pipette solutions with free calcium levels of 0.2-1.0 microM in whole- cell configuration. The chloride conductance did not increase monotonically with increases in intracellular calcium, and going whole cell with pipette-free calcium concentrations > or = 10 microM rapidly inactivated the current. The chloride currents ran down in whole-cell recordings using intracellular solutions of various compositions, and were absent in excised patches. These findings imply that cytoplasmic factors in addition to intracellular calcium are involved in regulation of the chloride conductance. The chloride currents could be blocked by niflumic acid or flufenamic acid with IC50s of 3 and 7 microM, or by higher concentrations of SITS (IC50 = 170 microM), DIDS (IC50 = 50 microM), or 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (IC50 = 80 microM). The chloride conductance activated in whole cell by intracellular calcium had the permeability sequence PNOS > PI > PBr > PCl >> Paspartate, measured from either reversal potentials or conductances. Instantaneous current-voltage relations for the calcium-activated chloride currents were linear in symmetric chloride solutions. Much of the current was time and voltage independent and active at all membrane potentials between -100 and +100 mV, but an additional component of variable amplitude showed time-dependent activation with depolarization. Volume- sensitive chloride currents were also present in brown fat cells, but differed from the calcium-activated currents in that they responded to cell swelling, required intracellular ATP in whole-cell recordings, showed no sensitivity to intracellular or extracellular calcium levels, and were relatively resistant to block by niflumic and flufenamic acids.

Recruitment of stretch-activated channels, one of the mechanisms of mechano-electric feedback, has been shown to influence the stability of scroll waves, the waves that underlie reentrant arrhythmias. However, a comprehensive study to examine the effects of recruitment of stretch-activated channels with different reversal potentials and conductances on scroll wave stability has not been undertaken; the mechanisms by which stretch-activated channel opening alters scroll wave stability are also not well understood. The goals of this study were to test the hypothesis that recruitment of stretch-activated channels affects scroll wave stability differently depending on stretch-activated channel reversal potential and channel conductance, and to uncover the relevant mechanisms underlying the observed behaviors. We developed a strongly-coupled model of human ventricular electromechanics that incorporated human ventricular geometry and fiber and sheet orientation reconstructed from MR and diffusion tensor MR images. Since a wide variety of reversal potentials and channel conductances have been reported for stretch-activated channels, two reversal potentials, −60 mV and −10 mV, and a range of channel conductances (0 to 0.07 mS/µF) were implemented. Opening of stretch-activated channels with a reversal potential of −60 mV diminished scroll wave breakup for all values of conductances by flattening heterogeneously the action potential duration restitution curve. Opening of stretch-activated channels with a reversal potential of −10 mV inhibited partially scroll wave breakup at low conductance values (from 0.02 to 0.04 mS/µF) by flattening heterogeneously the conduction velocity restitution relation. For large conductance values (>0.05 mS/µF), recruitment of stretch-activated channels with a reversal potential of −10 mV did not reduce the likelihood of scroll wave breakup because Na channel inactivation in regions of large stretch led to conduction block, which counteracted the increased scroll wave stability due to an overall flatter conduction velocity restitution.  相似文献
