Na+ currents near and away from endplates on human fast and slow twitch muscle fibers

Fast and slow twitch muscle fibers have distinct contractile properties. Here we determined that membrane excitability also varies with fiber type. Na⁺ currents (I_NA) were studied with the loose-patch voltage clamp technique on 29 histochemically classified human intercostal skeletal muscle fibers at the endplate border and <200 μm from the endplate (extrajunctional). Fast and slow twitch fibers showed slow inactivation of endplate border and extrajunctional I_NA and had increased I_NA at the endplate border compared to extrajunctional membrane. The voltage dependencies of I_NA were similar on the endplate border and extrajunctional membrane, which suggests thatboth regions have physiclogically similar channels. Fast twitch fibers had larger I_NA on the endplate border and extrajunctional membrane and manifest fast and slow inactivation of I_NA at more negative potentials than slow twitch fibers. For normal muscle, the differences between I_NA on fast and slow twitch fibers might: (1) enable fast twitch fibers to operate at high firing frequencies for brief periods; and (2) enable slow twitch fibers to operate at low firing frequencies for prolonged times. Disorders of skeletal membrane excitability, such as the periodic paralyses and myotonias, may impact fast and slow twitch fibers differently due to the distinctive Na⁺ channel properties of each fiber type. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Rapid effect of stress concentration corticosterone on glutamate receptor and its subtype NMDA receptor activity in cultured hippocampal neurons

Objective: To study the rapid effect of glucocorticoids (GCs) on NMDA receptor activity in hippocampal neurons in stress and to elucidate its underlying probable membrane mechanisms. Methods: Whole-cell patch-clamp recording was used to assess the effect of stress concentration corticosterone (B) on the responses of cultured hippocampal neurons to glutamate and NMDA (N-methy-D-asparatic acid). To make clear the target of B, intracellular dialysis of B(10μmol/L)through patch pipette and extracellular application of bovine serum albumin-conjugated corticosterone (B-BSA, 10μmol/L)were carried out to observe their influence on peak amplitude of NMDA-evoked current. Results: B had a rapid, reversible and inhibitory effect on peak amplitude of GLU-or NMDA-evoked current in cultured hippoeampal neurons. Furthermore, B-BSA had the inhibitory effect on INMDA as that of B, but intraeeUularly dialyzed B had no significant effect on INMDA. Conclusion: These results suggest that under the condition of stress, GCs may rapidly, negatively regulate excitatory synaptic receptors-glutamate receptors (GluRs), especially NMDA receptor (NMDAR) in central nervous system, which is mediated by rapid membrane mechanisms, but not by classical, genomic mechanisms.

Cell surface molecules of human teratoma cell lines

Conventional antisera, monoclonal antibodies and lectins have been used to investigate the cell surface composition of several human teratoma-derived cell lines. This review summarizes our current knowledge obtained from such investigations and uses the information available on murine teratocarcinoma systems as a framework for discussion to compare and contrast the human and murine systems. The potential application of antibodies directed against cell surface molecules in such techniques as in vivo tumour imaging and drug targeting is also discussed.

The development of anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis in two children with Alport's syndrome after renal transplantation: characterization of the antibody target

Two children with Alport's syndrome are described, who developed anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody-mediated nephritis after renal transplantation. The reactivity of antibodies in their serum with collagenase-solubilized normal GBM was examined by SDS-PAGE with one- and two-dimensional immunoblotting. The specificity was compared with that of antibodies present in serum from a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome, and a mouse monoclonal antibody (MCA-P1), directed against the Goodpasture antigen. All reacted in a similar way with collagenase-solubilized GBM. Since abnormalities in the composition of the GBM are present in Alport's syndrome, it is proposed that differing antigen composition of GBM in the host compared with the donor kidney, together with transplant rejection, may have provoked the development of post-transplant anti-GBM antibodies.
