Inhibition 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 کاملPacemaker mechanism of porcine sino-atrial node cells.
In cardiac sino-atrial node (SAN) cells, time- and voltage-dependent changes in the gating of various ionic currents provide spontaneous, stable and repetitive firing of action potentials. To address the ionic nature of the species-dependent heart rate, action potentials and membrane currents were recorded in single cells dissociated from the porcine SAN, and compared with those from SAN cells ...
متن کاملDirect inhibition of the pacemaker (If) current in rabbit sinoatrial node cells by genistein.
Genistein is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which interferes with the activity of several ionic channels either by altering modulatory phosphorylating processes or by direct binding. In whole-cell conditions, genistein induces a partial inhibition of the pacemaker (I(f)) current recorded in cardiac sinoatrial and ventricular myocytes. We investigated the mechanism of action of genistein (50 microM...
متن کاملHyperpolarization-activated, mixed-cation current (I(h)) in octopus cells of the mammalian cochlear nucleus.
Octopus cells in the posteroventral cochlear nucleus of mammals detect the coincidence of synchronous firing in populations of auditory nerve fibers and convey the timing of that coincidence with great temporal precision. Earlier recordings in current clamp have shown that two conductances contribute to the low input resistance and therefore to the ability of octopus cells to encode timing prec...
متن کاملHyperpolarization-Activated Current, If, in Mathematical Models of Rabbit Sinoatrial Node Pacemaker Cells
A typical feature of sinoatrial (SA) node pacemaker cells is the presence of an ionic current that activates upon hyperpolarization. The role of this hyperpolarization-activated current, If, which is also known as the "funny current" or "pacemaker current," in the spontaneous pacemaker activity of SA nodal cells remains a matter of intense debate. Whereas some conclude that If plays a fundament...
