Gramicidin-perforated Patch Recording Revealed the Oscillatory Nature of Secretory Cl− Movements in Salivary Acinar Cells
Elevations of cytoplasmic free calcium concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) evoked by cholinergic agonists stimulate isotonic fluid secretion in salivary acinar cells. This process is driven by the apical exit of Cl(-) through Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels, while Cl(-) enters the cytoplasm against its electrochemical gradient via a loop diuretic-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) and/or...
متن کاملContribution of changes in the chloride driving force to the fading of I(GABA) in frog melanotrophs.
Chloride redistribution during type A gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) currents (I(GABA)) has been investigated in cultured frog pituitary melanotrophs with imposed intracellular chloride concentration ([Cl(-)](i)) in the whole cell configuration or with unaltered [Cl(-)](i) using the gramicidin-perforated patch approach. Prolonged GABA exposures elicited reproducible decaying currents. The de...
متن کاملExcitatory GABA responses in embryonic and neonatal cortical slices demonstrated by gramicidin perforated-patch recordings and calcium imaging.
Gramicidin perforated-patch-clamp recordings in brain slices were used to obtain an accurate assessment of the developmental change in the GABAA receptor reversal potential (EGABAA) in embryonic and early postnatal rat neocortical cells including neuroepithelial precursor cells, cortical plate neurons, and postnatal neocortical neurons. Our results demonstrate that there is a progressive negati...
متن کاملGlycine response in acutely dissociated ventromedial hypothalamic neuron of the rat: new approach with gramicidin perforated patch-clamp technique.
1. We investigated the glycine-induced response in ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) neurons freshly dissociated from 8- to 12-day-old rats using the nystatin and gramicidin perforated patch recording modes. The nystatin-formed pores in the plasma membrane are permeable for both monovalent cations and anions, whereas those formed by gramicidin are permeable only to monovalent cations. Therefore, ...
متن کاملPhotoperiod dependent plasticity of GABA-mediated effects on neuronal activity in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis
GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mature mammalian CNS. Within the snail central ganglion, however, there are contradictory reports on the role of GABA, citing both inhibitory and excitatory effects. Previous work has suggested a seasonal shift in the polarity induced by GABA. My thesis work investigated whether changes in photoperiod were responsible for the seasonal shift...
