The effects of nitric oxide on the vestibular function recovery following unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL) were studied. Sprague-Dawley male rats, treated with nitric oxide liberating agent sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and NOS inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), were subjected to destruction of the unilateral vestibular apparatus, and then spontaneous nystagmus was observed in the rat. To explore the effects of nitric oxide on the neuronal excitability, whole cell patch clamp... -

gain of function in the channel. Clinically the syndromes are characterized by slowed repolarization of the cardiac ventricular action potential and the occurrence of typical arrhythmias with undulating peaks in the electrocardiogram, called Torsade de Pointes. Arrhythmias are initiated by early or delayed afterdepolarizations and continue as reentry. Triggers for cardiac events are exercise (swimming; LQT1), emotion (arousal; LQT2) and rest/sleep (LQT3). β-blockers have a high efficacy in the... -
Functional Abnormalities of HERG Mutations in Long QT Syndrome 2 (LQT2)
MasayasuHIRAOKA 대한생리학회-대한약리학회 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology 5 Pages

The chromosome 7-linked long QT syndrome (LQT2) is caused by mutations in the human ether-a- go-go-related gene (HERG) that encodes the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ current, IKr, in cardiac myocytes. Different types of mutations have been identified in various locations of HERG channel. One of the mechanisms for the loss of normal channel function is due to membrane trafficking of channel protein. The decreased channel function in some deletion mutants appears to be due to loss of... -
The Role of K+ Channels on Spontaneous Action Potential in Rat Clonal Pituitary GH3 Cell Line

of TEA completely blocked SAP repolarization process and produced membrane depolarization in all tested cells. This effect was observed even in TEA-untreated cells and was not mimicked by higher concentration of TEA (30 mM). Also this barium-induced membrane depolarization effect was still observed after L-type Ca2 channel was blocked by nicardipine (10μM). These results suggest that barium-sensitive current is important in SAP repolarization process and barium itself may have some... -
Effect of Propofol, an Intravenous Anesthetic Agent, on KATP Channels of Pancreatic β-cells in Rats

ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) play an important role in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. We have investigated the effect of propofol on KATP channels in cultured single pancreatic beta cells of rats. Channel activity was recorded from membrane patches using the patch-clamp technique. In the inside-out configuration bath-applied propofol inhibited the KATP channel activities in a dose-dependent manner. The half-maximal inhibition dose (ED50) was 48.6⁑8.4μM... -
Effect of Capsaicin on Delayed Rectifier K+ Current in Adult Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons
JunghyunHahn, SungkwonChung, HyoweonBang 대한생리학회-대한약리학회 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology 6 Pages

K currents play multiple roles in the excitability of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Influences on these currents change the shape of the action potential, its firing threshold and the resting membrane potential. In this study, whole cell configuration of patch clamp technique had been applied to record the blocking effect of capsaicin, a lipophilic alkaloid, on the delayed rectifier K current in cultured small diameter DRG neurons of adult rat. Capsaicin reduced the... -
Roles of Ca2+-Activated K+ Conductances on Spontaneous Firing Patterns of Isolated Rat Medial Vestibular Nucleus Neurons

a lack of the early fast AHP, and the delayed AHP was separated from the repolarization phase of the spike by a period of isopotentiality. Application of apamin and charybdotoxin (CTX), which selectively block the small and large calcium-activated potassium channels, respectively, resulted in significant changes in spontaneous firings. In both type A and type B cells, CTX (20 nM) resulted in a significant increase in spike frequency but did not induce bursting activity. By contrast, apamin (300... -
Effects of Bradykinin on Intracellular Calcium Transients in Cardiac Myocytes

In spite many evidences has supported the cardioprotective effect of bradykinin, its direct effects at the cell level are still under question. We investigated the both effects of bradykinin (BK) on Ca2-related ionic currents using whole cell voltage clamp technique in rabbit cardiomyocytes and on the intracellular Ca2 transient using calcium sensitive fluorescence dye, indo-1AM. Simultaneously with recording intracellular Ca2 transients, cell contractility was estimated... -
The Role of Intracellular Mg2+ in Regulation of Ca2+-activated K+ Channel in Pulmonary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells of the Rabbit

Although the Ca2+-activated K+ (IK,Ca) channel is known to play an important role in the maintenance of resting membrane potential, the regulation of the channel in physiological condition is not completely understood in vascular myocytes. In this study, we investigated the role of cytoplasmic Mg2+ on the regulation of IK,Ca channel in pulmonary arterial myocytes of the rabbit using the inside-out patch clamp technique. Mg2+ increased open probability (Po), but decreased the magnitude of single... -

outward K+ currents. This outward K+ current was activated around 60 mV by step depolarizing pulses from holding potential 70 mV. Outward K+ currents were decreased by low external pH. Activation and steady-state inactivation curve were shifted to the right by acidification, while there was small change by alkalization. These results suggest that H+ could be alter the sensory modality by changing and modifying voltage-dependent K+ currents, which participated in repolarization.
