Prepulse facilitation of calcium channel current in osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts play a major role in bone formation. Osteoblasts employ intracellular Ca(2+) as a second messenger modulating hormonal responses and a cofactor for bone mineralization. Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCCs) are most commonly present in excitable cell membranes. They are also present at lower levels even in most nonexcitable cells too. In both types of cell, they mediate the infl...
متن کاملAequorin response facilitation and intracellular calcium accumulation in molluscan neurones.
1. When molluscan neural somata are filled with the calcium-indicating photo-protein aequorin and subjected to a 1 Hz train of depolarizing pulses (0.3 sec duration to + 15 mV) under voltage clamp, the successive photo-emissions due to calcium influx facilitate. The origin of this phenomenon was investigated in identified neurones from the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica.2. Since outw...
متن کاملChannel Current Inhibition in Rat Sympathetic Stellate Ganglion Neurons
Yang, Qing, Andrew D. Sumner, Henry L. Puhl, and Victor Ruiz-Velasco. M1 and M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes mediate Ca channel current inhibition in rat sympathetic stellate ganglion neurons. J Neurophysiol 96: 2479 –2487, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.00093.2006. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are known to mediate the acetylcholine inhibition of Ca channels in central and pe...
متن کاملDual function during development of rat sympathetic neurones in culture.
Many sympathetic principal neurones of the superior cervical ganglion of the newborn rat are known to be plastic with respect to the choice between norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (ACh) as transmitter; when the neurones are dissociated and placed in culture, a majority of them can be shifted from an initial, immature, adrenergic state to a cholinergic state by co-culture with a variety of...
متن کاملFacilitation of calcium-dependent potassium current.
The activation of Ca-dependent K+ current, Ic, was studied in macropatches on the cell bodies of molluscan neurons. When a depolarizing voltage-clamp pulse was applied repeatedly, Ic facilitated in a manner that resembled the facilitation of synaptic transmitter release. Facilitation was characterized by an increase in Ic amplitude, a progressive increase in instantaneous outward current, and a...
