Type II sodium channels in spinal cord astrocytes in situ: Immunocytochemical observations

The expression of sodium channel α-subunit isoforms in astrocytes in adult rat spinal cord and optic nerve was examined utilizing immunocytochemical methods with antibodies generated against conserved and subtype-specific sequences of the sodium channel. In adult rat spinal cord, astrocytes within the dorsal and ventral funiculi were immunolabelled with antibody SP20, which recognizes a conserved sequence within sodium channel types I, II, and III. In addition, astrocytes within these spinal cord white matter tracts were immunostained with antibody SP11-II, which recognizes sodium channel type II. Antibodies SP11-I and SP32-III, which are directed against subtype-specific sequences in sodium channel types I and III, respectively, did not label astrocytes in the dorsal and ventral funiculi of the spinal cord. In optic nerves, astrocytes were immunostained with antibody SP20. However, no detectable labelling of cells within the optic nerve was observed with antibodies SP11-I, SP11-II, and SP32-III. These observations demonstrate that sodium channel II is expressed by astrocytes in spinal cord white matter. Moreover, these data suggest that regional factors regulate the level of sodium channel isoform expression in astrocytes.

The effect of racemic ketamine on the large conductance Ca-activated potassium (BK) channels in GH3 cells

Recently, inhalation anesthetics have been reported to block BK channels in adrenal chromaffin cells. To determine if BK block was characteristic only of inhalation anesthetics or was also a property of other general anesthetics we examined the effects of ketamine, an intravenous general anesthetic which is structurally different than inhalation anesthetics. Cell-attached and excised patch single channel and standard whole cell recording techniques were used to examine the effect of racemic ketamine on the BK channel activity in GH₃ cells. When solutions containing 150 mM KCl are used in both the pipette and bath, the BK channels are characterized as a voltage-dependent channel with a unit conductance of 150–300 pS. Racemic ketamine (at clinically relevant concentrations; 2–500 μM) selectively blocked BK channels in a dose-dependent, reversible manner as evidenced by decreases in NP_o (number of channels × open probability). This decrease was due to both a decrease in mean open time and an increase in the mean closed time but without a decrease in single-channel current amplitude. Ketamine shifts the P_o vs voltage curve to higher potentials without a change in the slope of the voltage dependence. Ketamine also shifts the P_o vs [Ca⁺²] relationship to higher Ca⁺² concentrations. The IC₅₀ for the single-channel block by ketamine is 20.3 ± 15.9 μM. In an effort to confirm that the effect of ketamine was predominantly due to a block of the BK channels, standard whole cell techniques were utilized. As with the single-channel experiments, ketamine (2–500 μM) produced a dose-dependent, voltage-independent and reversible decrease in outward current with an IC₅₀ of 23.7 ± 11.5 μM. Addition of 100 μM ketamine to cells pretreated with the BK channel blocker, charybdotoxin (ChTX), did not result in a further decrease in outward current. These results demonstrate a selective effect of ketamine at clinically relevant concentrations which is consistent with results reported for inhalation anesthetics.

K~+ Channels and Their Effects on Membrane Potential in Rat Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells

In order to investigate the K~+ channels and their effects on resting membrane potential(Em) and excitability in rat bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs), the components of outward K~+channel currents and the effects of K~+ channels on Em and tension in rat bronchial smooth musclewere observed by using standard whole-cell recording of patch clamp and isometric tension recordingtechniques. The results showed that under resting conditions, total outward K~+ channel currents infreshly isolated BSMCs were unaffected by ATP-sensitive K~+ channel blocker. There were two typesof K~+ currents: voltage-dependent delayed rectifier K~+ channel (Kv) and large conductance calcium-activated K~+ channel (BK_(Ca)) currents. 1 mmol/L 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, an inhibitor of Kv)caused a significant depolarization (from — 8.7±5.9mV to —25.4±3.1mV, n=18, P<0.001).In contrast, 1 mmol/L tetraethylammonium (TEA, an inhibitor of BK_(Ca)) had no significant effect onEm (from —37.6±4.8 mV to —36.8±4.1 mV, n=12, P>0.05). 4
