RESUMO

The effects of ethosuximide on calcium channels were studied on dorsal root ganglion neurons from one-day-old rats using the patch-clamp technique. Bath application of ethosuximide induced dose-dependent and reversible suppression of calcium currents without affecting their time-course. Substantial differences between the effects of ethosuximide on the low-threshold and high-threshold (T- and L-) currents were observed. Ethosuximide reduced the T-current with greater potency than the L-current (Kd for T-current is 7 microM vs 15 microM for L-current). This relative specificity of its action still remained if applied at concentrations up to 1 mM. These data support the hypothesis according to which the anti-epileptic action of ethosuximide is related to reduction of the low-threshold calcium currents in sensory neurons.

RESUMO

In isolated, cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes sodium currents through calcium channels induced by lowering of extracellular calcium concentration 100 nmol/l have been investigated by whole-cell patch clamp technique. Such Na(+)-carried currents are modulated by classic Ca2+ agonists and antagonists. The potential-dependent characteristics of Na+ current are shifted at 20 mV in hyperpolarizing direction as compared to initial Ca(2+)-carried current. The inactivation decay of Na+ current through Ca2+ channels has the monoexponential behaviour. The possible action of extracellular Ca2+ lowering on Ca2+ channel selective filter and gating mechanisms is suggested.

RESUMO

In isolated, cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes calcium current was investigated by whole-cell patch clamp technique. The shift of holding potential values from -100-80 mV to -40 mV caused no significant changes in calcium current potential-dependent and kinetic properties. No calcium current component with preferential steady-state inactivation at membrane potentials ranged between -100 and -60 mV was observed. Calcium current component resistant to classic Ca-antagonists action was not found either. All data listed above permit a conclusion on lack of the low-threshold calcium channels in the membrane of single cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. Possible reasons of the absence of this type of calcium are discussed.

RESUMO

Dual wavelength microfluorometry was used to measure the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]in) in single cultured cells from ventricular myocytes of neonatal rats loaded with the indicator fura-2. At 2.5 nmol/l extracellular Ca2+ in the resting cells [Ca2+]in was between 80 and 110 nmol/l. Sometimes, spontaneous low-frequency (approximately 0.1 Hz) [Ca2+]in oscillations were observed. High-potassium depolarization led to a Ca2+-antagonists-sensitive rise of [Ca2+]in. Both caffeine++ (5-10 mmol/l) and thymol (lmmol/l) initialized transient increase of [Ca2+]in. Mechanisms of [Ca2+]in homeostasis in heart muscle cells were discussed.

RESUMO

Cytosolic free calcium [( Ca2+]in) was measured using fura-2 in isolated cultured ventricular myocytes of neonatal rat. Exposure of the cardiomyocyte to a solution in which all Na+ have been replaced by impermeable cations results in a 400-600 nmol/l increase of [Ca2+]in. This increase is followed by a slow decrease to the initial level. A decrease of the extracellular calcium concentration from 2.5 to 0.5 mmol./l or increase to 10 mmol/l produced, respectively, decrease and increase of the amplitude of [Ca2+]in rise in response to low-Na+ superfusion. Exposure of cardiomyocytes to low-Na+ solutions also led to a 2-3 fold increase of caffeine++-dependent Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Changes in [Ca2+]in can be attributed to the operation of a sodium-calcium exchanger in heart cells.
