Abstract: | The patch-clamp technique was used to characterise the ion channels in cells located in the mid region of mouse jejunal crypts.
Six different channels were seen. A large outwardly rectified K+ channel (BK) (conductance, g at 0 mV = 92 ± 6 pS), which was highly selective for K+ P

+ (0.04)], had a low, voltage-independent open probability (P
o) in the on-cell (O/C) configuration and appeared in 66% of the patches. In inside-out (I/O) patches, this channel had a linear
current/voltage (I/V) relationship (g = 132 ± 3 pS), P
o was voltage dependent and it was blocked by cytoplasmic Ba2+ (5 mmol/l). An intermediate K+ channel (IK) which was present in 49% of O/C patches, had a linear I/V (g = 38 ± 3 pS), ran-down in O/C patches, and was not seen in I/O patches. A number of smaller channels (SC) with conductances
ranging from 5 to 20 pS were seen in 16% of O/C patches. Also present in the basolateral membrane were a Cl– channel (ICOR) and a nonselective cation channel (NSCC). These channels were only seen in I/O patches. ICOR had an outwardly
rectified conductance (g at 0 mV = 36 ± 2 pS), its P
o was independent of voltage and unaffected by variations in cytoplasmic Ca2+ (100 nmol/l to 1 mmol/l) or ATP (0–1 mmol/l). The NSCC had a linear conductance (20 ± 1 pS), its P
o increased with depolarisation and elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+] (≥ 10 μmol/l), but was reduced by cytoplasmic ATP. None of the basolateral channels described here were activated by cAMP-dependent
secretagogues, although a Cl– conductance was activated. This cAMP-dependent Cl– conductance was distinct from the basolateral Cl– channel and thus is most likely located in the apical membrane.
