In voltage-clamp experiments, a two-pulse procedure was used to investigate the ionic currents underlying the action potential in Chara inflata. A prepulse hyperpolarized the membrane from a resting potential of about -100 to -200 mV. The prepulse was followed by a second pulse that changed the potential difference (p.d.) to -100 mV and less negative values in steps of 20 mV. This two-pulse procedure induces action potentials that have a reproducible time course, which is essential for any comparative investigation of the action potential. The two-pulse procedure reveals that in the charophyte C. inflata the electric current flowing across the cell membranes during positive voltage-clamp steps from the resting p.d. consists of a leak current flowing from the start of the pulse, followed by a transient inward-going current, Ii, commencing after a delay, and preceding a delayed transient outward current, Io. The characteristics of the current components and their response to various ion channel blockers and ionic treatments suggest that: (a) Ii, which is blocked by the external application of 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid, is carried by Cl- and (b) Io, which is blocked by the external application of the organic anions tetraethylammonium (TEA+) and nonyltriethylammonium, is carried mainly by K+. The magnitude and behavior of these K+ and Cl- currents could be modified by changes in the external concentration of CaCl2, LiCl, or NaCl but not sorbitol. Hence, it is concluded that NaCl-enhanced transient inward Cl- current, Ii, is due to ionic effects of NaCl rather than to its osmotic effects. The modification of the K+ current, Io, either by changing external K+ concentrations or by blocking the current with TEA+, also alters the Cl- currents Ii. 相似文献

Volume regulation is essential for cell function, but it is unknown which channels are involved in a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in human gastric epithelial cells. Exposure to a hypotonic solution caused the increase in AGS cell volume, followed by the activation of a current. The reversal potential of the swelling-induced current suggested that Cl- was the primary charge carrier. The selectivity sequence for different anions was I- > Br- > Cl- > F- > gluconate. This current was inhibited by flufenamate, DIDS, tamoxifen, and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate. Intracellular dialysis of three different anti-ClC-3 antibodies abolished or attenuated the Cl- current and disrupted RVD, whereas the current and RVD was unaltered by anti-ClC-2 antibody. Immunoblot studies demonstrated the presence of ClC-3 protein in Hela and AGS cells. RT-PCR analysis detected expression of ClC-3, MDR-1, and pICln mRNA in AGS cells. These results suggest a fundamental role of endogenous ClC-3 in the swelling-activated Cl- channels function and cell volume regulation in human gastric epithelial cells. 相似文献

Single-channel currents through chloride channels were recorded in cultured hippocampal neurones from rats using the patch-clamp method. The channel is active at voltages between -80 and +80 mV, and the time spent in the open state increases with depolarization (almost fourfold for 120 mV). The channel conductance is 62 pS in symmetrical 150 mM NaCl saline. In salt gradient conditions the channel was measurably permeable to Na+. Substitution of NO3- and Br- for Cl- gave higher single-channel currents, meaning a higher permeability of the channel toward the two anions than to Cl-. SO4(2-) ions were poorer charge carriers, yet contributed measurable inward current at negative voltages. Channel activity appeared independent of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Taken together, these features would suggest for this channel a role in stabilizing resting membrane potential and in maintaining normal cell excitability. 相似文献

Isolated human neutrophils possess three distinct pathways by which Cl- crosses the plasma membrane of steady state cells: anion exchange, active transport, and electrodiffusion. The purpose of the present work was to investigate the selectivity of each of these separate processes with respect to other external halide ions. (a) The bulk of total anion movements represents transport through an electrically silent anion-exchange mechanism that is insensitive to disulfonic stilbenes, but which can be competitively inhibited by alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC; Ki approximately 0.3 mM). The affinity of the external translocation site of the carrier for each of the different anions was determined (i) from substrate competition between Cl- and either Br-, F-, or I-, (ii) from trans stimulation of 36Cl- efflux as a function of the external concentrations of these anions, (iii) from changes in the apparent Ki for CHC depending on the nature of the replacement anion in the bathing medium, and (iv) from activation of 82Br- and 125I- influxes by their respective ions. Each was bound and transported at roughly similar rates (Vmax values all 1.0-1.4 meq/liter cell water.min); the order of decreasing affinities is Cl- greater than Br- greater than F- greater than I- (true Km values of 5, 9, 23, and 44 mM, respectively). These anions undergo 1:1 countertransport for internal Cl-. (b) There is a minor component of total Cl- influx that constitutes an active inward transport system for the intracellular accumulation of Cl- [( Cl-]i approximately 80 meq/liter cell water), fourfold higher than expected for passive distribution. This uptake is sensitive to intracellular ATP depletion by 2-deoxy-D-glucose and can be inhibited by furosemide, ethacrynic acid, and CHC, which also blocks anion exchange. This active Cl- uptake process binds and transports other members of the halide series in the sequence Cl- greater than Br- greater than I- greater than F- (Km values of 5, 8, 15, and 41 mM, respectively). (c) Electrodiffusive fluxes are small. CHC-resistant 82Br- and 125I- influxes behave as passive leak fluxes through low-conductance ion channels: they are nonsaturable and strongly voltage dependent. These anions permeate the putative Cl- channel in the sequence I- greater than Br- greater than Cl- with relative permeability ratios of 2.2:1.4:1, respectively, where PCl approximately 5 X 10(-9) cm/s. 相似文献

We studied monovalent permeability of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels (ICRAC) in Jurkat T lymphocytes following depletion of calcium stores. When external free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]o) was reduced to micromolar levels in the absence of Mg2+, the inward current transiently decreased and then increased approximately sixfold, accompanied by visibly enhanced current noise. The monovalent currents showed a characteristically slow deactivation (tau = 3.8 and 21.6 s). The extent of Na+ current deactivation correlated with the instantaneous Ca2+ current upon readdition of [Ca2+]o. No conductance increase was seen when [Ca2+]o was reduced before activation of ICRAC. With Na+ outside and Cs+ inside, the current rectified inwardly without apparent reversal below 40 mV. The sequence of conductance determined from the inward current at -80 mV was Na+ > Li+ = K+ > Rb+ >> Cs+. Unitary inward conductance of the Na+ current was 2.6 pS, estimated from the ratios delta sigma2/delta Imean at different voltages. External Ca2+ blocked the Na+ current reversibly with an IC50 value of 4 microM. Na+ currents were also blocked by 3 mM Mg2+ or 10 microM La3+. We conclude that ICRAC channels become permeable to monovalent cations at low levels of external divalent ions. In contrast to voltage-activated Ca2+ channels, the monovalent conductance is highly selective for Na+ over Cs+. Na+ currents through ICRAC channels provide a means to study channel characteristics in an amplified current model. 相似文献

These experiments evaluated salt transport processes in isolated cortical thick limbs of Henle (cTALH) obtained from mouse kidney. When the external solutions consisted of Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate (KRB), pH 7.4, and a 95% O2-5% CO2 gas phase, the spontaneous transepithelial voltage (Ve, mV, lumen-to-bath) was approximately mV; the net rate of Cl- absorption (JnetCl) was approximately 3,600 pmols s-1 cm-2; the net rate of osmotic solute absorption Jnetosm was twice JnetCl; and the net rate of total CO2 transport (JnetCO2) was indistinguishable from zero. Thus, net Cl- absorption was accompanied by the net absorption of a monovalent cation, presumably Na+, and net HCO3- absorption was negligible. This salt transport process was stimulated by (CO2 + HCO3- ): omission of CO2 from the gas phase and HCO3- from external solutions reduced JnetCl, Jnetosm, and Ve by 50%. Furthermore, 10(-4) M luminal furosemide abolished JnetCl and Ve entirely. The lipophilic carbonic anhydrase inhibitor ethoxzolamide (10(-4) M, either luminal or peritubular) inhibited (CO2 + HCO3-)-stimulated JnetCl, Jnetosm, and Ve by approximately 50%; however, when the combination (CO2 + HCO3-) was absent, ethoxzolamide had no detectable effect on salt transport. Ve was reduced or abolished entirely by omission of either Na+ or Cl- from external solutions, by peritubular K+ removal, by 10(-3) M peritubular ouabain, and by 10(-4) M luminal SITS. However, Ve was unaffected by 10(-3) M peritubular SITS, or by the hydrophilic carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide (2.2 x 10(-4) M, lumen plus bath). We interpret these data to indicate that (CO2 + HCO3-)-stimulated NaCl absorption in the cTALH involved two synchronous apical membrane antiport processes: one exchanging luminal Na+ for cellular H+; and the other exchanging luminal Cl- for cellular HCO3- or OH-, operating in parallel with a (CO2+ HCO3-)-independent apical membrane NaCl cotransport mechanism. 相似文献

Micromolar concentrations of extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) elicit a rapid excitatory response in developing chick skeletal muscle. Excitation is the result of a simultaneous increase in membrane permeability to sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. In the present study we quantify the selectivity of the ATP response, and provide evidence that a single class of ATP-activated ion channels conducts both cations and anions. Experiments were performed on myoballs using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. We estimated permeability ratios by measuring the shift in reversal potential when one ion was substituted for another. We found that monovalent cations, divalent cations, and monovalent anions all permeate the membrane during the ATP response, and that there was only moderate selectivity between many of these ions. Calcium was the most permeant ion tested. To determine if ATP activates a single class of channels that conducts both cations and anions, or if ATP activates separate classes of cation and anion channels, we analyzed the fluctuations about the mean current induced by ATP. Ionic conditions were arranged so that the reversal potential for cations was +50 mV and the reversal potential for anions was -50 mV. Under these conditions, if ATP activates a single class of channels, ATP should not evoke an increase in noise at the reversal potential of the ATP current. However, if ATP activates separate classes of cation and anion channels, ATP should evoke a significant increase in noise at the reversal potential of the ATP current. At both +40 and -50 mV ATP elicited a clear increase in noise, but at the reversal potential of the ATP current (-5 mV), no increase in noise above background was seen. These results indicate that there is only a single class of excitatory ATP-activated channels, which do not select by charge. Based on analysis of the noise spectrum, the conductance of individual channels is estimated to be 0.2-0.4 pS. 相似文献

A novel, small conductance of Cl- channel was characterized by incorporation into planar bilayers from a plasma membrane preparation of lobster walking leg nerves. Under conditions of symmetrical 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, single Cl- channels exhibit rectifying current-voltage (I-V) behavior with a conductance of 19.2 +/- 0.8 pS at positive voltages and 15.1 +/- 1.6 pS in the voltage range of -40 to 0 mV. The channel exhibits a negligible permeability for Na+ compared with Cl- and displays the following sequence of anion permeability relative to Cl- as measured under near bi-ionic conditions: I- (2.7) greater than NO3- (1.8) greater than Br- (1.5) greater than Cl- (1.0) greater than CH3CO2- (0.18) greater than HCO3- (0.10) greater than gluconate (0.06) greater than F- (0.05). The unitary conductance saturates with increasing Cl- concentration in a Michaelis-Menten fashion with a Km of 100 mM and gamma max = 33 pS at positive voltage. The I-V curve is similar in 10 mM Tris or 10 mM HEPES buffer, but substitution of 100 mM NaCl with 100 mM tetraethylammonium chloride on the cis side results in increased rectification with a 40% reduction in current at negative voltages. The gating of the channel is weakly voltage dependent with an open-state probability of 0.23 at -75 mV and 0.64 at +75 mV. Channel gating is sensitive to cis pH with an increased opening probability observed for a pH change of 7.4 to 11 and nearly complete inhibition for a pH change of 7.4 to 6.0. The lobster Cl- channel is reversibly blocked by the anion transport inhibitors, SITS (4-acetamido, 4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid) and NPPB (5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid). Many of these characteristics are similar to those previously described for small conductance Cl- channels in various vertebrate cells, including epithelia. These functional comparisons suggest that this invertebrate Cl- channel is an evolutionary prototype of a widely distributed class of small conductance anion channels. 相似文献

Recent work from this laboratory has demonstrated that purinergic-mediated depolarization of human microglia inhibited a store-operated pathway for entry of Ca2+. We have used Fura-2 spectrofluorometry to investigate the effects on store-operated Ca2+ influx induced by replacement of NaCl with Na-gluconate in extracellular solutions. Three separate procedures were used to activate store-operated channels. Platelet activating factor (PAF) was used to generate a sustained influx of Ca2+ in standard physiological saline solution (PSS). The magnitude of this response was depressed by 70% after replacement of PSS with low Cl- PSS. A second procedure used ATP, initially applied in Ca2+-free PSS solution to deplete intracellular stores. The subsequent perfusion of PSS solution containing Ca2+ resulted in a large and sustained entry of Ca2+, which was inhibited by 75% with low Cl- PSS. The SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) was used to directly deplete stores in zero-Ca2+ PSS. Following the introduction of PSS containing Ca2+, a maintained stores-operated influx of Ca2+ was evident which was inhibited by 77% in the presence of the low Cl- PSS. Ca2+ influx was linearly reduced with cell depolarization in elevated K+ (7.5 to 35 mM) suggesting that changes in external Cl- were manifest as altered electrical driving force for Ca2+ entry. However, 50 mM external KCl effectively eliminated divalent entry which may indicate inactivation of this pathway with high magnitudes of depolarization. Patch clamp studies showed low Cl-PSS to cause depolarizing shifts in both holding currents and reversal potentials of currents activated with voltage ramps. The results demonstrate that Cl- channels play an important role in regulating store-operated entry of Ca2+ in human microglia. 相似文献

The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to identify and to characterize volume-activated Cl- current (ICl(vol)) in fibroblasts derived from human periodontal ligament. During osmotic cell swelling, the cells exhibited an outwardly rectifying current, which was dependent upon the concentration of external Cl-. The anion permeability sequence of the chloride channel for anions was as follows: SCN- > I- > Br- > Cl- > F- > methanesulphonate > gluconate. Being an inhibitor of Cl- channels and Cl-/HCO exchanger, 4,4'-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) inhibited the currents with a voltage-dependence (EC50 57 micromol/l at +80 mV), and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid (NPPB), a carboxylate analogue Cl- channel blocker, showed the reversible suppression of the currents in a dose-dependent manner (EC50 = 59 micromol/l). Nimodipine, a selective dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker suppressed ICl(vol) (EC50 = 66 micromol/l) and the effects were quite similar to those of NPPB. Nifedipine, another DHP blocker also inhibited the currents but with lesser efficacy (EC50 = 139 micromol/l). The removal of external Ca2+ or the addition of Cd2+ in the bath solution did not affect the blocking effects of nimodipine on ICl(vol). These findings demonstrate that the human fibroblasts ICl(Vol) was suppressed by nimodipine in an extracellular Ca2+-independent way. These results may provide, at least in part, an explanation for the Ca2+-independent decrease in Cl-/organic osmolytes efflux and RVD responses by nimodipine in some cell types. 相似文献

Ion transport in the intestine of Gobius niger, a euryhaline teleost, was studied in both isotonic and hypotonic conditions. Isolated tissues, mounted in Ussing chambers and bilaterally perfused with isotonic Ringer solution, developed a serosa negative transepithelial voltage and a short circuit current indicating a net negative current in absorptive direction. Bilateral removal of Cl- and Na+ from the bathing solutions as well as the luminal removal of K+in the presence of Ba2+(10(-3) M) almost abolished both Vt and Isc. Similar results were obtained by adding bumetanide (10(-5)M) to the luminal bath while other inhibitors of Cl- transport mechanisms were ineffective. These observations suggest that salt absorption begins with a coupled entry of Na+, Cl-, and K+ across the apical membrane; a Ba2+inhibitable K+ conductance, demonstrated also by micropuncture experiments, recycles the ion into the lumen. Salt entry into the cell is driven by the operation of the basolateral Na+/K(+)-ATPase since serosal ouabain (10(-4)M) completely abolished both Vt and Isc; this pump also completes the Na(+) absorption. The inhibitory effect of both serosal bumetanide (10(-4)M) and SITS (5 x 10(-4)M) suggests that Cl- would leave the cell via the KCl cotransport, the Cl/HCO3- antiport and/or conductive pathways. Bilateral exposure of tissues to hypotonic media produced a reduction of both the transepithelial voltage and the short circuit current probably due to the activation of homeostatic ionic fluxes involved in cell volume regulation. The results of experiments with both isolated enterocytes and intestine exposed to hypotonic solution suggested that the recovery of cell volume, after the initial cell swelling, involves a parallel opening of K+ and Cl- channels to facilitate net solute and water effluxes from the cell.

Exocrine glands extrude both proteins and salt. Fluid secretion is related to a modification of the membrane permeability of secreting cells. This permeability change may be measured as an increase of labelled ion fluxes or as a rise of membrane conductance. It involves Na+, K+, Cl- and Ca2+ ions. Intracellular Ca2+ acts as "second messenger" in the development of the electrical response. Recent recordings using the "patch-clamp" technique have revealed three types of ion channel activated by secretory agents. These channels are sensitive to internal Ca2+ ions. They are respectively selective to K+, Cl- and positively charged monovalent ions. Two models suggesting possible roles for these channels in the secretion process are presented. However, evaluation of such models is presently restricted by numerous uncertainties on the function of secreting cells in vivo. Information is notably lacking concerning the exact composition of the secreted fluid, and the exchanges between exocrine glands and blood circulation. 相似文献

Effects of N-ethylmaleimide on ouabain-insensitive cation fluxes in human red cell ghosts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In red cells of several species, the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide activates a Cl- -dependent, ouabain-resistant K+ transport pathway. Here we report our attempts to demonstrate ouabain-resistant Cl- -dependent K+ fluxes stimulated by N-ethylmaleimide in resealed human red cell ghosts using Rb+ as a K+ analogue. In contrast to intact cells, the rate constants of the base level Rb+ efflux in ghosts were similar in NaNO3 and NaCl (okRb = 0.535 +/- 0.079 h-1 and 0.534 +/- 0.085 h-1, respectively), while 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide stimulated Rb+ efflux strongly in NaNO3 (okRb = 14.26 +/- 1.32 h-1) and moderately in NaCl (okRb = 2.73 +/- 0.54 h-1). This effect was dependent on the presence of internal ATP. Stimulation of Rb+ efflux was observed in the presence of greater than or equal to 0.2 mM N-ethylmaleimide and increased at pH values approaching 8.0, consistent with titration of SH groups. N-Ethylmaleimide-stimulated Rb+ efflux was approx. 50% inhibited by 100 microM quinine sulfate whereas 1 microM bumetanide had no effect. In NaCl the N-ethylmaleimide-stimulated efflux saturated with initial internal ghost Rb+ concentration, but rates increased linearly in NaNO3. Replacement of external Na+ with glucamine or choline decreased the N-ethylmaleimide-stimulated Rb+ efflux, suggesting a role for external Na+. N-Ethylmaleimide-stimulated Rb+ efflux was greater in buffers with lipophilic anions such as SCN- or NO3- than in solutions with Cl- or acetate. However, the cation selectivity of the pathway studied was low, as Li+ efflux was also stimulated by N-ethylmaleimide. We conclude that the effect of N-ethylmaleimide on ouabain-resistant cation effluxes of human red cell ghosts is very different from the selective action of N-ethylmaleimide on Rb+ influxes in intact red cells. 相似文献

Intracellular Ca2+, K+, Cl-, and NO3- activities were measured with ion-selective microelectrodes in the liverwort Conocephalum conicum L. at rest, during dark/light changes, and in the course of action potentials triggered by light or electrical stimuli. The average free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was 231 [plus or minus] 65 nM. We did not observe any light-dependent changes of the free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration as long as no action potential was triggered. During action potentials, on average a 2-fold increase of the free cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration was recorded. Intracellular K+ activity was 76 [plus or minus] 10 mM. It did not depend on K+ concentration changes in the bath solution between 0.1 and 10 mM. The average equilibrium potential for K+ in the standard medium containing 1 mM K+ was -110 mV, which differed significantly from the resting potential of -151 [plus or minus] 2 mV. During action potentials, either a slight decrease or no changes in intracellular K+ activity were recorded. The average Cl- activity was 7.4 [plus or minus] 0.2 mM in the cytoplasm and 43.5 [plus or minus] 7 mM in the vacuole. The activities of NO3- were 0.63 [plus or minus] 0.05 mM in the cytoplasm and 3.0 [plus or minus] 0.3 mM in the vacuole. For both anions the vacuolar activity was 5 to 6 times higher than the cytoplasmic activity. After the light was switched off both the Cl- and the NO3- activity showed either no change or a slight increase. Illumination caused a gradual return to previous values or no change. During action potentials a slight decrease of intracellular Cl- activity was recorded. It was concluded that in Conocephalum, as in characean cells, chloride channels are involved in the depolarization phase of the action potentials. We discuss a model for the ion fluxes during an action potential in Conocephalum. 相似文献

Human airway epithelial cells were obtained by nasal brushing, thus avoiding the use of proteolytic enzymes for cell isolation. Whole-cell Cl- conductances were studied in these cells by means of the patch-clamp technique. During whole-cell recordings, cell swelling activated a Cl- conductance that was blocked by indanyloxyacetic acid (48 +/- 10% inhibition at 50 microM). The swelling-induced current outwardly rectified and showed inactivation at depolarizing voltages (> or = +60 mV) and activation at hyperpolarizing voltages (< or = -30 mV). The voltage sensitivity of current activation was approximately twice that of inactivation. Another Cl- current with different kinetics was observed when nonswollen airway cells were stimulated with ionomycin (2 microM) in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+. The Ca(2+)-induced current exhibited activation during depolarizing voltage steps (> or = +40 mV) and inactivation during hyperpolarizing voltage steps (< or = -40 mV). In contrast to the swelling-induced current, the activation of Ca(2+)-induced current was less sensitive to voltage compared with its inactivation. Tail current analysis suggested that Cl- channels having a linear current-voltage relation mediate the response to Ca2+. This study indicates that brushed human nasal epithelial cells possess Cl- conductances that are regulated by cell swelling and Ca2+ and that they represent a useful in vitro model for studying ion transport in epithelia. 相似文献

Ionic currents induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in cultured neuroblastoma N18 cells were studied using whole-cell voltage clamp. The response was blocked by 1-10 nM 5-HT3 receptor-specific antagonists MDL 7222 or ICS 205-930, but not by 1 microM 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist spiperone or 5-HT2 receptor-specific antagonist ketanserin. These 5-HT3 receptors seem to be ligand-gated channels because the response (a) did not require internal ATP or GTP, (b) persisted with long internal dialysis of CsF (90 mM), A1F4- (100 microM), or GTP gamma S (100 microM), and (c) with ionophoretic delivery of 5-HT developed with a delay of less than 10 ms and rose to a peak in 34-130 ms. Fluctuation analysis yielded an apparent single-channel conductance of 593 fS. The relative permeabilities of the channel for a variety of ions were determined from reversal potentials. The channel was only weakly selective among small cations, with permeability ratios PX/PNa of 1.22, 1.10, 1.01, 1.00, and 0.99 for Cs+, K+, Li+, Na+, and Rb+, and 1.12, 0.79, and 0.73 for Ca2+, Ba2+, and Mg2+ (when studied in mixtures of 20 mM divalent ions and 120 mM N-methyl-D-glucamine). Apparent permeability ratios for the divalent ions decreased as the concentration of divalent ions was increased. Small monovalent organic cations were highly permeant. Large organic cations such as Tris and glucosamine were measurably permeant with permeability ratios of 0.20 and 0.08, and N-methyl-D-glucamine was almost impermeant. Small anions, NO3-, Cl-, and F-, were slightly permeant with permeability ratios of 0.08, 0.04, and 0.03. The results indicate that the open 5-HT3 receptor channel has an effective minimum circular pore size of 7.6 A and that ionic interactions in the channel may involve negative charges near the pore mouth. 相似文献

Extracellular acidic pH was found to induce an outwardly rectifying Cl- current (I(Cl,acid)) in mouse ventricular cells, with a half-maximal activation at pH 5.9. The current showed the permeability sequence for anions to be SCN- > Br- > I- > Cl- > F- > aspartate, while it exhibited a time-dependent activation at large positive potentials. Similar currents were also observed in mouse atrial cells and in atrial and ventricular cells from guinea pig. Some Cl- channel blockers (DIDS, niflumic acid, and glibenclamide) inhibited ICl,acid, whereas tamoxifen had little effect on it. Unlike volume-regulated Cl- current (ICl,vol) and CFTR Cl- current (ICl,CFTR), ICl,acid was independent of the presence of intracellular ATP. Activation of ICl,acid appeared to be also independent of intracellular Ca2+ and G protein. ICl,acid and ICl,vol could develop in an additive fashion in acidic hypotonic solutions. Isoprenaline-induced ICl,CFTR was inhibited by acidification in a pH-dependent manner in guinea pig ventricular cells. Our results support the view that ICl,acid and ICl,vol stem from two distinct populations of anion channels and that the ICl,acid channels are present in cardiac cells. ICl,acid may play a role in the control of action potential duration or cell volume under pathological conditions, such as ischemia-related cardiac acidosis. 相似文献

The ionic composition of the currents underlying the acetylcholine (ACh) depolarizations in the identified neurons B1 and B3 of the buccal ganglia of Helix pomatia was analysed. The equilibrium potential of the ACh responses was -2.8 +/- 0.6 mV (N = 49) and -4.0 +/- 0.7 mV (N = 79; mean +/- SEM) in the neurons B1 and B3, respectively. Replacement of NaCl in the bath solution by sucrose shifted the ACh equilibrium potential into the negative direction. A similar but less pronounced shift occurred when Ca2+ was substituted for Na+. Substitution of Cl- in the bath solution by propionate or an increase of the intracellular Cl- concentration did not affect the ACh equilibrium potential. Changes of K+ concentration in the bath between 1 and 50 mmol/l left the ACh equilibrium potential nearly unaffected when the Na+ concentration was at the control level. With a simultaneous reduction of extracellular Na+ an increase of K+ concentration shifted the ACh equilibrium potential towards more positive potentials. The findings are compatible with calculated K+ permeabilities if a K+ redistribution across the cell membrane is considered. In the neurons B1 and B3, channels operated by ACh are permeable for K+, Na+ and Ca2+, with the relative permeabilities 1.6:1.0:0.1. 相似文献

A new mathematical model of ion movements in airway epithelia is presented, which allows predictions of ion fluxes, membrane potentials and ion concentrations. The model includes sodium and chloride channels in the apical membrane, a Na/K pump and a cotransport system for Cl- with stoichiometry Na+:K+:2Cl- in the basolateral membrane. Potassium channels in the basolateral membrane are used to regulate cell volume. Membrane potentials, ion fluxes and intracellular ion concentration are calculated as functions of apical ion permeabilities, the maximum pump current and the cotransport parameters. The major predictions of the model are: (1) Cl- concentration in the cell is determined entirely by the intracellular concentration of negatively charged impermeable ions and the osmotic conditions; (2) changes in intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations are inversely related; (3) cotransport provides the major driving force for Cl- flux, increases intracellular Na+ concentration, decreases intracellular K+ concentration and hyperpolarizes the cell interior; (4) the maximum rate of the Na/K pump, by contrast, has little effect on Na+ or Cl- transepithelial fluxes and a much less pronounced effect on cell membrane polarization; (5) an increase in apical Na+ permeability causes an increase in intracellular Na+ concentration and a significant increase in Na+ flux; (6) an increase in apical Cl- permeability decreases intracellular Na+ concentration and Na+ flux; (7) assuming Na+ and Cl- permeabilities equal to those measured in human nasal epithelia, the model predicts that under short circuit conditions, Na+ absorption is much higher than Cl- secretion, in agreement with experimental measurements. 相似文献

Transient outward currents in rat saphenous arterial myocytes were studied using the perforated configuration of the patch-clamp method. When myocytes were bathed in a Na-gluconate solution containing TEA to block large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) currents, depolarizing pulses positive to +20 mV from a holding potential of -100 mV induced fast transient outward currents. The activation and inactivation time constants of the current were voltage dependent, and at +40 mV were 3.6 +/- 0.8 ms and 23.9 +/- 6.4 ms (n = 4), respectively. The steady-state inactivation of the transient outward current was steeply voltage dependent (z = 1.7), with 50% of the current inactivated at -55 mV. The current was insensitive to the A-type K+ channel blocker 4-AP (1-5 mM), and was modulated by external Ca, decreasing to approximately 0.85 of control values upon raising Ca2+ from 1 to 10 mM, and increasing approximately 3-fold upon lowering it to 0.1 mM. Transient outward currents were also recorded following replacement of internal K+ with either Na+ or Cs+, raising the possibility that the current was carried by monovalent ions passing through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. This hypothesis was supported by the finding that the transient outward current had the same inactivation rate as the inward Ba2+ current, and that both currents were effectively blocked by the L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, nifedipine and enhanced by the agonist BAYK8644. 相似文献
