CaV3.2 calcium channels play important roles in both neural excitability and aldosterone secretion. Recent clinical studies found four germline mutations (S196 L, M1549I, V1951E and P2083 L) in CaV3.2 channels. All four mutations caused primary aldosteronism (PA), while only the M1549I mutation resulted in obvious neural malfunctions besides PA. In human, there are two major CaV3.2 channel gene (CACNA1H) splice variants, either with or without exon 26. In this study, we tested the expression of the two CACNA1H splice variants in zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells of human adrenal cortex and the possibility that CaV3.2 (-26) and CaV3.2 (+26) channels have different functional responses to the four PA mutations. We found that human ZG cells only express long form CaV3.2(+26) channels. The M1549I mutation slowed the inactivation of CaV3.2(+26) more than 5 fold, and CaV3.2(-26) more than 2 fold. The S196 L, V1951E and P2083 L mutations accelerated channel recovery from inactivation for CaV3.2(+26), but not CaV3.2(-26) channels. All four mutations resulted in gain of function of CaV3.2(+26) channels, leading to overproduction of aldosterone. In conclusion, the four PA mutations caused more profound changes on CaV3.2 (+26) currents than on CaV3.2 (-26) currents, and except the M1549I mutation, the S196 L, V1951E and P2083 L have little effect on the electrophysiological properties of CaV3.2(-26) currents, which may partially explain the limitation of the phenotype associated with the V1951E, S196 L and P2083 L germline mutations to PA. 相似文献

Summary Evidence was provided, in the preceding paper (Thuringer & Sauvé, 1992), that the external Ca2+-dependent phase of the Ca2+ signals evoked by bradykinin (BK) or caffeine in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE), differ in their respective sensitivity to procaine. To examine whether the emptying of the InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ store is the signal for activating the agonist-evoked Ca2+ entry, we have investigated the effects of thapsigargin (TSG), a known inhibitor of the microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity in a variety of cell types, via the activity of calcium-activated potassium channels [K(Ca2+) channels]. In cell-attached experiments, the external application of TSG caused a sustained or oscillatory activation of K(Ca2+) channels depending on both the cells and doses tested. The TSG-evoked channel activity could be reversibly blocked by removing extracellular Ca2+, and strongly decreased by adding 10 mm procaine to the bath medium. In Ca2+-free external conditions, TSG did not promote an apparent Ca2+ discharge from internal stores but prevented in a dose- and timedependent manner the subsequent agonist-evoked channel activity related to the release of internally sequestered Ca2+. These results confirm that TSG and BK release Ca2+ from the same internal stores but with different kinetics. Because the channel response to caffeine was found to be poorly sensitive to procaine, in contrast to that evoked by BK and TSG, it may be concluded that both BK and TSG activate the same Ca2+ entry pathway. Therefore, the emptying of the InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ store is likely to be the main signal for activating the agonist-evoked Ca2+ entry in BAE cells.The authors wish to thank Diane Vallerand for preparing cell cultures.

We have constructed a detailed model of a hippocampal dentate granule (DG) cell that includes nine different channel types. Channel densities and distributions were chosen to reproduce reported physiological responses observed in normal solution and when blockers were applied. The model was used to explore the contribution of each channel type to spiking behavior with particular emphasis on the mechanisms underlying postspike events. T-type calcium current in more distal dendrites contributed prominently to the appearance of the depolarizing after-potential, and its effect was controlled by activation of BK-type calcium-dependent potassium channels. Co-activation and interaction of N-, and/or L-type calcium and AHP currents present in somatic and proximal dendritic regions contributed to the adaptive properties of the model DG cell in response to long-lasting current injection. The model was used to predict changes in channel densities that could lead to epileptogenic burst discharges and to predict the effect of altered buffering capacity on firing behavior. We conclude that the clustered spatial distributions of calcium related channels, the presence of slow delayed rectifier potassium currents in dendrites, and calcium buffering properties, together, might explain the resistance of DG cells to the development of epileptogenic burst discharges. 相似文献

Summary Depolarization-activated outward currents ranging in amplitude from 100–1000 pA were studied in cultured, insulinsecreting HIT cells and mouse B-cells using the whole-cell patch clamp. Outward current was identified as a K current since it was blocked by K channel blockers and its tail current reversed nearE
K. The K currents of HIT cells dialyzed with internal solutions containing 0.1–10mm EGTA with no added calcium (Ca), or 10mm EGTA with 2mm added Ca, activated rapidly with depolarization. However, the stronger Ca buffer BAPTA (5mm; no added Ca) blocked the rapidly activating current to reveal an underlying more slowly activating K current. With intracellular EGTA, application of the Ca channel blocker cadmium mimicked the effect of intracellular BAPTA. These data suggest that the rapid K current was mediated by low-voltage threshold, Ca-activated K channels while the slower K current was mediated by high threshold delayed rectifier K channels. Mouse B-cells also had both K current components. Dialyzing these cells with either BAPTA (5mm, no added Ca) or high EGTA (10mm with 2mm Ca) blocked the rapid Ca-activated K current observed when cells were filled with 0.1 to 1mm EGTA. It is concluded that the extent of Ca-activated K current activation in either HIT or adult mouse B-cells depends on the degree of intracellular Ca buffering. 相似文献

Acute effects and action mechanisms of prolactin (PRL) on aldosterone secretion in zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells were investigated in ovariectomized rats. Administration of ovine PRL (oPRL) increased aldosterone secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Incubation of [3H]-pregnenolone combined with oPRL increased the production of [3H]-aldosterone and [3H]-deoxycorticosterone but decreased the accumulation of [3H]-corticosterone. Administration of oPRL produced a marked increase of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in ZG cells. The stimulatory effect of oPRL on aldosterone secretion was attenuated by the administration of angiotensin II (Ang II) and high potassium. The Ca2+ chelator, ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA, 10(-2) M), inhibited the basal release of aldosterone and completely suppressed the stimulatory effects of oPRL on aldosterone secretion. The stimulatory effects of oPRL on aldosterone secretion were attenuated by the administration of nifedipine (L-type Ca2+ channel blocker) and tetrandrine (T-type Ca2+ channel blocker). These data suggest that the increase of aldosterone secretion by oPRL is in part due to (1) the increase of cAMP production, (2) the activation of both L- and T-type Ca2+ channels, and (3) the activation of 21-hydroxylase and aldosterone synthase in rat ZG cells. 相似文献

The regulation of aldosterone synthesis by endogenous nitric oxide (NO) was examined in cultured cells of the adrenal cortex. Endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) was detected by Western blot in cultured adrenal endothelial cells (ECs) but not in zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells or adrenal fibroblasts. Neither inducible (iNOS) nor neuronal NOS (nNOS) isoforms were detected in the cells. Only ECs had NOS activity and converted [(3)H]L-arginine to [(3)H]L-citrulline. Angiotensin II (ANG II, 100 nM) increased EC production of nitrate/nitrite by 2.4-fold. Coincubation with ECs or treatment with DETA nonoate increased the fluorescence of ZG cells loaded with an NO-sensitive dye, diaminofluorescein 2 diacetate (DAF-2 DA). DETA nonoate inhibited ANG II (1 nM) and potassium (10 mM) -stimulated aldosterone release in a concentration-related manner. This inhibitory effect of NO was enhanced >10-fold by decreasing the oxygen concentration from 21 to 8%. Coincubation of EC and ZG cells in 8% oxygen inhibited ANG II-induced aldosterone release, and inhibition was reversed by blockade of NOS. These findings indicate that adrenal EC-derived NO inhibits aldosterone release by cultured ZG cells and that the sensitivity to NO inhibition is increased at low oxygen concentrations. 相似文献

In freshly isolated neurons of the rat spinal ganglia, we studied the behavior of voltage-operated calcium channels of these
cells under conditions of the absence of calcium ions in the extracellular solution; a patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell
configuration was used. We found that such channels in a part of the studied neurons lose their selectivity in a calcium-free
potassium-containing solution and become capable of passing an inward potassium current. This current was inhibited by blockers
of voltage-operated calcium channels, nifedipine and nickel, and also was to some extent inhibited by caffeine. The latter
effect is realized, perhaps, due to calcium-dependent inactivation of calcium channels induced by the action of calcium ions
released from the endoplasmic reticulum upon caffeine-induced activation of ryanodine receptors. The peculiarities of current-voltage
relationships and characteristics of activation/inactivation of calcium channels modified in calcium-free medium and the possible
mechanisms of such modification are discussed.

Endothelin-1 acutely stimulates the secretory activity of rat zona glomerulosa cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A bolus IV injection of endothelin-1 (ET-1) (0.5 microgram.kg-1) decreased PRA, without affecting plasma aldosterone (A) concentration. ET-1 exerted a dose-dependent stimulation of basal secretion of A and corticosterone (B) by dispersed zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells, while it did not affect B production by inner adrenocortical cells. ET-1 notably enhanced the secretory response of dispersed ZG cells to a maximal effective concentration of ACTH, but not of either angiotensin II (ANG-II) or potassium. The conclusion is drawn that ET-1 acutely stimulates ZG in rats, by a mechanism probably similar to that underlying the adrenoglomerulotropic actions of ANG-II and potassium. 相似文献

Single-channel patch-clamp experiments were performed on MDCK cells in order to characterize the ionic channels participating in regulatory volume decrease (RVD). Subconfluent layers of cultured cells were exposed to a hypotonic medium (150 mOsm), and the membrane currents at the single-channel level were measured in cell-attached experiments. The results indicate that MDCK cells respond to a hypotonic swelling by activating several different ionic conductances. In particular, a potassium and a chloride channel appeared in the recordings more frequently than other channels, and this allowed a more detailed study of their properties in the inside-out configuration of the patch-clamp technique. The potassium channel had a linear I/V curve with a unitary conductance of 24 +/- 4 pS in symmetrical K+ concentrations (145 mM). It was highly selective for K+ ions vs. Na+ ions: PNa/PK less than 0.04. The time course of its open probability (P0) showed that the cells responded to the hypotonic shock with a rapid activation of this channel. This state of high activity was maintained during the first minute of hypotonicity. The chloride channel participating in RVD was an outward-rectifying channel: outward slope conductance of 63.3 +/- 4.7 pS and inward slope conductance of 26.1 +/- 4.9 pS. It was permeable to both Cl- and NO3- and its maximal activation after the hypotonic shock was reached after several seconds (between 30 and 100 sec). The activity of this anionic channel did not depend on cytoplasmic calcium concentration. Quinine acted as a rapid blocker of both channels when applied to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. In both cases, 1 mM quinine reversibly reduced single-channel current amplitudes by 20 to 30%. These results indicate that MDCK cells responded to a hypotonic swelling by an early activation of highly selective potassium conductances and a delayed activation of anionic conductances. These data are in good agreement with the changes of membrane potential measured during RVD. 相似文献

Using a patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration, we identified the potassium M-type current and estimated its
contribution to the integral depolarization-induced potassium current evoked in cultured hippocampal inhibitory interneurons
of the rat. With the help of immunocytochemical labeling, we checked the presence of the KCNQ-family channels responsible
for generation of M current in these neurons. It was demonstrated that non-inactivated potassium channels and channels with
slow kinetics play the main role in the processes of repolarization of the membrane of inhibitory interneurons. In all studied
cells, a potassium current non-inactivated with time and possessing kinetic parameters close to those of the M current developed
in response to depolarization. In all cells, positive immunocytochemical labeling with respect to KCNQ2 channels was observed;
however, its intensity varied significantly from neuron to neuron. The level of suppression of non-inactivated potassium currents
by a blocker of KCNQ channels, linopirdine, varied noticeably in different cells; therefore, the level of expression of these
channels in the interneurons under study is probably considerably dissimilar. The reason for incomplete suppression of the
M current is perhaps the involvement of other potassium channels (e.g., those of Kv1 family) in the formation of this current.

Alteration of Ion Channels in the Plasmalemma of Nitella flexilisCells during Long-Term Hyperthermia
Demidchik V. V. Naidun S. N. Yablonskaya L. I. Sokolik A. I. Yurin V. M. 《Russian Journal of Plant Physiology》2001,48(3):294-299
The conventional microelectrode technique was applied to study changes in conductance and activation characteristics of potassium and chloride channels in the plasmalemma of characean alga Nitella flexilis(L.) Agardz. during long-term heat treatment. Measurements were conducted at 18–20°C after preliminary exposure of cells to 33°C for 1–25 days. The conductance of outward- and inward-rectifying potassium channels, as well as the currents of excitable chloride channels, decreased after 2–3 days of heat treatment. By the 15th–17th days, the conductance of potassium channels was reduced by a factor of 3–5, whereas the peak values of the chloride current, associated with the action potential, was reduced by a factor of 8–10. These heat-induced changes were long lasting: the restoration of the initial parameters of transport systems after transferring cells to chilling or room temperature occurred within several days. Moreover, the recovery at chilling temperatures (8–10°C) proceeded nearly two times longer than at room temperature. Prolonged hyperthermia accelerated activation and deactivation of outward-rectifying potassium channels and caused the shift of their activation curve towards positive potentials by 35–40 mV. Analysis of current–voltage relations showed that the inward current in inward- and outward-rectifying potassium channels was reduced to a greater extent than the outward current. At the same time, both inward and outward currents of chloride channels were reduced to an equal extent. It is assumed that the changes observed are involved in thermal adaptation and account for the decrease in the intracellular concentrations of potassium and other cations and anions, which represents a nonspecific response of plant cells to stress. 相似文献

In cells of different types outward voltage-gated (VG) ion currents are generally carried by potassium ions. However, in mouse type II taste cells these currents persist when K+-selective ion channels are inhibited. In this study, we examined the ion channels that provide a pathway for atypical VG outward currents in type II taste cells. These channels are found to be weakly selective and permeabile to large molecules such as NMDG, gluconate, and ATP. According to non-stationary fluctuation analysis, single channel conductance is about 200 pS. The data obtained suggest that the nonselective ion channels are similar to hemichannels formed by connexins, the gap-junction proteins, in the plasma membrane of vertebrate cells. 相似文献

In the inner ear of birds, as in mammals, reptiles and amphibians, acetylcholine released from efferent neurons inhibits hair cells via activation of an apamin-sensitive, calcium-dependent potassium current. The particular potassium channel involved in avian hair cell inhibition is unknown. In this study, we cloned a small-conductance, calcium-sensitive potassium channel (gSK2) from a chicken cochlear library. Using RT-PCR, we demonstrated the presence of gSK2 mRNA in cochlear hair cells. Electrophysiological studies on transfected HEK293 cells showed that gSK2 channels have a conductance of approximately 16 pS and a half-maximal calcium activation concentration of 0.74±0.17 M. The expressed channels were blocked by apamin (IC50=73.3±5.0 pM) and d-tubocurarine (IC50=7.6±1.0 M), but were insensitive to charybdotoxin. These characteristics are consistent with those reported for acetylcholine-induced potassium currents of isolated chicken hair cells, suggesting that gSK2 is involved in efferent inhibition of chicken inner ear. These findings imply that the molecular mechanisms of inhibition are conserved in hair cells of all vertebrates. 相似文献

Ca2+-activated K+ channels (KCa) are expressed at the plasma membrane and in cellular organelles. Expression of all KCa channel subtypes (BK, IK and SK) has been detected at the inner mitochondrial membrane of several cell types. Primary functions of these mitochondrial KCa channels include the regulation of mitochondrial ROS production, maintenance of the mitochondrial membrane potential and preservation of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis. These channels are therefore thought to contribute to cellular protection against oxidative stress through mitochondrial mechanisms of preconditioning. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on mitochondrial KCa channels, and their role in mitochondrial function in relation to cell death and survival pathways. More specifically, we systematically discuss studies on the role of these mitochondrial KCa channels in pharmacological preconditioning, and according protective effects on ischemic insults to the brain and the heart. 相似文献

The known effects of calcium channel blockers on various aspects of potassium homeostasis are reviewed. Regulation of potassium homeostasis requires both renal and external handling mechanisms. Signaling by calcium appears to mediate both of these. Calcium channels have been identified in adrenal glomerulosa cells, and cellular calcium entry has been demonstrated in vitro to be necessary for the synthesis and secretion of aldosterone. Calcium channel antagonists such as verapamil and nifedipine, at pharmacologic doses, can block aldosterone production. In vivo, however, only chronic administration of verapamil appears to attenuate aldosterone responsiveness to angiotensin II. Chronic administration of nifedipine does not have a dramatic effect on aldosterone production following potassium loading. Other studies have demonstrated improved extrarenal potassium disposal following treatment with calcium channel blocking agents. Clinically, there are no reports of either hyperkalemia or hypokalemia with the routine therapeutic use of these agents given alone. This review was prompted by the development of hyperkalemia in a patient with chronic renal failure following the initiation of therapy with the calcium channel blocker diltiazem: however, numerous other etiologies may also have contributed to the development of hyperkalemia in this case. Review of the data indicates that current evidence implicating this class of drugs in the pathogenesis of disordered potassium regulation remains equivocal. 相似文献
