[Ca2+]i transients by reverse mode of cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) were recorded in fura-2 loaded BHK cells with stable expression of NCX1. Repeated stimulation of reverse NCX1 produced a long-lasting decrease of Ca2+ transients ('rundown'). Rundown of NCX1 was independent of membrane PIP2 depletion. Although the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) was observed during the Ca2+ transients, neither a selective PKC inhibitor (calphostin C) nor a PKC activator (PMA) changed the degrees of... -

Single-channel recordings of TASK-1 and TASK-3, members of two-pore domain K+ channel family, have not yet been reported in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, even though their mRNA and activity in whole-cell currents have been detected in these neurons. Here, we report single-channel kinetics of the TASK-3-like K+ channel in DRG neurons and up-regulation of TASK-3 mRNA expression in tissues isolated from animals with spinal cord injury (SCI). In DRG neurons, the single-channel conductance of... -

an acid mantle on the surface of the skin. Herein, we investigated the effects of acidic pH on the membrane current and [Ca2+]c of human primary keratinocytes from foreskins and human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). Acidic extracellular pH (pHe≤5.5) activated outwardly rectifying Cl− current (ICl,pH) with slow kinetics of voltage-dependent activation. ICl,pH was potently inhibited by an anion channel blocker 4,4`-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2`-disulphonic acid (DIDS, 73.5% inhibition at... -

of resveratrol (30ՌM), the secretory responses of CA evoked by veratridine 8644 (an activator of voltage-dependent Na+ channels, 100ՌM), Bay-K-8644 (a L-type dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel activator, 10ՌM), and cyclopiazonic acid (a cytoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, 10ՌM) were significantly reduced. In the simultaneous presence of resveratrol (30ՌM) and L-NAME (an inhibitor of NO synthase, 30ՌM), the CA secretory evoked by ACh, high K+, DMPP, McN-A-343,... -

In our previous study, we found that spermine and putrescine inhibited spontaneous and acetylcholine (ACh)-induced contractions of guinea-pig stomach via inhibition of L-type voltage- dependent calcium current (VDCCL). In this study, we also studied the effect of spermidine on mechanical contractions and calcium channel current (IBa), and then compared its effects to those by spermine and putrescine. Spermidine inhibited spontaneous contraction of the gastric smooth muscle in a... -
Effects of Apigenin on Glutamate-induced [Ca2+]i Increases in Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurons

Flavonoids have been shown to affect calcium signaling in neurons. However, there are no reports on the effect of apigenin on glutamate-induced calcium signaling in neurons. We investigated whether apigenin affects glutamate-induced increase of free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, using fura-2-based digital calcium imaging and microfluorimetry. The hippocampal neurons were used between 10 and 13 days in culture from embryonic day 18 rats.... -

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a metabolite of membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2, has been considered responsible for the development of abnormal vascular reactivity during atherosclerosis. Ca2+ influx was shown to be augmented in atherosclerotic artery which might be responsible for abnormal vascular reactivity. However, the mechanism underlying Ca2+ influx change in atherosclerotic artery remains undetermined. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of LPC on... -

To investigate whether hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) affects intestinal motility, pacemaker currents and membrane potential were recorded in cultured interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) from murine small intestine by using a whole-cell patch clamp. In whole cell patch technique at 30oC, ICC generated spontaneous pacemaker potential under current clamp mode (I=0) and inward currents (pacemaker currents) under voltage clamp mode at a holding potential of 70 mV. When ICC were treated with H2O2 in... -

대한생리학회-대한약리학회 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology 2006, Vol.10 No.2 1 59-64 (6 pages)
The effects of Zn2 on spontaneous glutamate and GABA release were tested in mechanically dissociated rat CA3 pyramidal neurons which retained functional presynaptic nerve terminals. The spontaneous miniature excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs and mIPSCs, respectively) were pharmacologically isolated and recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique under voltage-clamp conditions. Zn2 at a lower concentration (30μM) increased GABAergic mIPSC frequency without... -

Fluoxetine, widely used for the treatment of depression, is known to be a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), however, there are also reports that fluoxetine has direct effects on several receptors. Employing whole-cell patch clamp techniques in rat brain slice, we studied the effects of fluoxetine on corticostriatal synaptic transmission by measuring the change in spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSC). Acute treatment of rat brain slice with fluoxetine (10μM)...
