Abstract: | Growth of cultured NlE-115 neuroblastoma cells in 1 μM A23187 for 2 days to elevate internal Ca reduced both membrane Na current and the transient, but not steady state, component of outward K current. Na channel mRNA abundance was reduced by an average value of 45% without effect on Kv3.1. Increases in internal Ca may therefore control excitability by independent regulation of Na and K channel mRNA abundance in neurons. |
