Characterization of a hyperpolarization-activated inward current in Cajal-Retzius cells in rat neonatal neocortex.
Cajal-Retzius cells are among the first neurons appearing during corticogenesis and play an important role in the establishment of cortical lamination. To characterize the hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I(h)) and to investigate whether I(h) contributes to the relatively positive resting membrane potential (RMP) of these cells, we analyzed the properties of I(h) in visually identifi...
متن کاملHyperpolarization-activated inward current in histaminergic tuberomammillary neurons of the rat hypothalamus.
1. Intracellular recordings were obtained from histaminergic tuberomammillary (TM) neurons of rat hypothalamus in an in vitro slice preparation. The properties of a time- and voltage-dependent inward current activated on hyperpolarization, Ih, were studied by use of the single-electrode voltage-clamp technique. 2. The activation curve of Ih was well fit by a sigmoidal function, with half-maxima...
متن کاملInhibition by genistein of the hyperpolarization-activated cation current in porcine sino-atrial node cells.
1 The hyperpolarization-activated cation current (If) was recorded in single pacemaker cells of the porcine sino-atrial node, and the effects of genistein, an isoflavone inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases was investigated by the whole-cell patch clamp technique. 2 Genistein (20-500 microM) decreased If in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 62.3 microM and a maximum inhibi...
متن کاملExcitatory role of the hyperpolarization-activated inward current in phasic and tonic firing of rat supraoptic neurons.
The properties and functional roles of the hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I(H)) in magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) were investigated during sharp microelectrode recordings from supraoptic neurons in superfused explants of rat hypothalamus. Under current clamp, voltage responses to hyperpolarizing current pulses featured depolarizing sags that were abolished by the I(H) bl...
متن کاملHyperpolarization-activated inward current in ventricular myocytes from normal and failing human hearts.
BACKGROUND The hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I[f]) was found to be overexpressed in hypertrophied rat ventricular myocytes, indicating that I(f) might favor arrhythmias in hypertrophied or failing ventricular myocardium. In the present study, we evaluated whether I(f) is expressed in human ventricular myocardium, if it may be increased in human heart failure, and if its autonomic ...
