Dopaminergic midbrain (DA) neurons display two principal activity patterns in vivo, single-spike and burst firing, the latter coding for reward-related events. We have shown recently that the small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel SK3 controls pacemaker frequency and precision in DA neurons of the substantia nigra (SN), and previous studies have implicated SK channels in the tran...
Axons of neonatal rat optic nerves exhibit fast calcium transients in response to brief action potential stimulation. In response to one to four closely spaced action potentials, evoked calcium transients showed a fast-rising phase followed by a decay with a time constant of approximately 2-3 sec. By selective staining of axons or glial cells with calcium dyes, it was shown that the evoked calc...
Pharmacologically distinct calcium channels have been characterized in dissociated cutaneous sensory neurons and motoneurons of the larval lamprey spinal cord. To enable cell identification, sensory dorsal cells and motoneurons were selectively labeled with fluorescein-coupled dextran amine in the intact spinal cord in vitro before dissociation. Calcium channels present in sensory dorsal cells,...
Behavioral reflexes can be modified by experience via mechanisms that are largely unknown. Within the circuitry for the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR), neurons in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) show adaptive changes in firing rate responses that are correlated with VOR gain (the ratio of evoked eye velocity to input head velocity). Although changes in synaptic strength are typically assumed ...
Herein we show that functional phenylalkylamine-sensitive L-type calcium channels are expressed by human NK cells and are involved in the killing of tumor targets. Blocking of these channels by phenylalkylamine drugs does not affect effector/target cell binding but inhibits the release of serine esterases responsible for cytotoxicity. Interestingly, treatment of NK cells with HIV-1 Tat, which i...
Three types of calcium channels have been identified voltage-sensitive, receptor operated (cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle) and stretch operated (in some blood vessels) channels. Using electrophysiological and pharmacological techniques, three different types of voltage-gated calcium channels have been identified, namely, L-type (for long lasting, large channels), T–type (for transien...
A protein that imitates the sequence of a highly conserved segment predicted to line the pore of dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type calcium channels was designed and synthesized. Single-channel conductance properties were studied in planar lipid bilayers. The synthetic protein emulates the ionic conductance, ionic selectivity, and pharmacological properties of the authentic calcium channel, inclu...
Calcium sparks represent local, rapid, and transient calcium release events from a cluster of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs), calcium sparks activate calcium-dependent potassium channels causing decrease in the global intracellular [Ca2+] and oppose vasoconstriction. This is in contrast to cardiac and skeletal muscle, where spati...
There is concern regarding neurotoxicity induced by the use of local anesthetics. A previous study showed that an overload of intracellular calcium is involved in the neurotoxic effect of some anesthetics. T-type calcium channels, which lower the threshold of action potentials, can regulate the influx of calcium ions. We hypothesized that T-type calcium channels are involved in bupivacaine-indu...
