Intracellular Ca2+ suppressed a transient potassium current in hippocampal neurons.
The effects of intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) on K+ currents in hippocampal cells were examined using acutely isolated cells obtained from adult guinea pigs. Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were carried out in a configuration that allowed a continuous perfusion of the intracellular medium. Recording media were made to block inward currents and allowed selective activation of K(+)-dependent outw...
متن کاملSaikosaponin a Enhances Transient Inactivating Potassium Current in Rat Hippocampal CA1 Neurons
Saikosaponin a (SSa), a main constituent of the Chinese herb Bupleurum chinense DC., has been demonstrated to have antiepileptic activity. Recent studies have shown that SSa could inhibit NMDA receptor current and persistent sodium current. However, the effects of SSa on potassium (K(+)) currents remain unclear. In this study, we tested the effect of SSa on 4AP-induced epileptiform discharges a...
متن کاملAstroglial modulation of transient potassium current development in cultured mouse hippocampal neurons.
Hippocampal neurons exhibit three voltage-gated potassium currents, two transient currents and a delayed rectifier, that influence numerous aspects of electrogenesis including action potential duration and accommodation to sustained depolarization. These currents, termed A-, D-, and K-currents, respectively, can be distinguished based on kinetics, steady state inactivation characteristics, and ...
متن کاملAcetylcholine raises excitability by inhibiting the fast transient potassium current in cultured hippocampal neurons.
The effects of acetylcholine on cultured hippocampal neurons were investigated by using the whole-cell version of the patch-clamp technique. The CA1 region of the hippocampus was excised from brain slices of young rats (12-19 day old), incubated in a papain solution, and dissociated. Neurons were plated on a glial feeder layer. The experiments were conducted mostly on neurons cultured for 2-6 d...
متن کاملOxidative downmodulation of the transient K-current IA by intracellular arachidonic acid in rat hippocampal neurons.
Membrane-permeable arachidonic acid (AA) is liberated in a Ca2+-dependent way inside cells. By using whole cell patch clamp we show that intracellular AA (1 pM) selectively reduces IA in rat hippocampal neurons, whereas extracellular application requires a 10(6)-fold concentration. The nonmetabolized AA analogue ETYA mimics the effect of AA that is blocked by ascorbic acid or intracellular glut...
