    Notes: Abstract The effects of zymosan and human serum opsonized zymosan on membrane currents of adherent mouse peritoneal macrophages which had been cultured for 5 to 20 days were investigated with the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Both stimuli activated an outward current. The outward current activation was transient and lasted about 5 min. In solutions with 10 or 50 mmol/l extracellular potassium concentration the activation of an outwardly directed current occurred at test potentials positive to the respective potassium equilibrium potential. This particle-induced current resembled a calciu-mactivated potassium current which could be activated with the calcium ionophore A 23187 and with platelet activating factor. The order of maximal responses (test potential +55 mV, amplitude given as percentage of the respective control) was: 0.1 μmol/l platelet activating factor (222±36%,n=8,P〈0.01) 〉 1 μmol/l A 23187 (190±24%,n=11,P〈0.01) 〉900 μg/ml opsonized zymosan (134±7%,n=22,P〈0.01) 〉900 μg/ml zymosan (116±5%,n = 21,P〈0.01) The lower efficiency of zymosan as compared to opsonized zymosan is explained in part by a lower percentage of responding cells which was 48% for zymosan and 73% for opsonized zymosan. Macrophages which were pretreated with particles showed a greater reactivity to calcium as compared to untreated cells. Elevation of extracellular calcium from 0.9 to 4.5 mmol/l activated the outward current to 145±12% (n = 11,P〈 0.01) after preincubation with opsonized zymosan and to 144±21% (n = 12,P〈 0.01) under the influence of zymosan while in untreated cells current increase by elevation of extracellular calcium was not significant (120±10%,n = 9, n.s.).

    Notes: Abstract In rat ventricular myocytes we found two components of transient outward current, which could be discriminated time- and voltage-dependently. Besides the well known fastly inactivating transient outward current (ito,f, τ=35±8ms, n=4) we investigated properties of a slowly inactivating transient outward current (ito,s, τ=1.7±0.4s, n=4). Because of the slow inactivation process of ito,s tail currents were observed at −25mV. The inactivation curve of ito,f was characterized by a half-inactivation voltage of −58.4±1.4mV and a slope factor of 5.6±0.5mV (n=4). The inactivation curves of ito,s and tail currents were nearly identical but significantly different from the ito,f-curve. Half-inactivation voltages of ito,s and tail currents were −87.5±6mV and −89.1±5mV (n=4), respectively. Slope factors were 10.3±2.9mV and 9.8 ±1.7mV (n=4). The activation gate of ito,s was half-maximally opened at −11.5±2.6mV, and the slope factor was −10.6±1.7mV (n=3). ito,s tail current reversed its direction at −62±3.2mV (n=5). This indicates, that ito,s- current flow is carried mainly by potassium ions. Ito,s- current was not abolished by Tetrodotoxin (TTX) and Cd.

    Notes: Summary The aim of the present study was to search for electrophysiological effects of human lipoproteins on membrane currents in mouse peritoneal macrophages which had been cultured for 5 to 20 days. Whole-cell currents were recorded by using a voltage-clamp technique. Low density lipoprotein (LDL, 100 μg/ml) increased a slowly activating nonspecific cation current (iso) in the positive potential range to 244 ± 23% of the reference (test potential + 55 mV, n = 13, P 〈 0.005). Augmentation of current resulted out of a negative shift of the activation curve along the voltage axis (−22 mV) and an increase of maximally available current. Furthermore, LDL increased a rapidly activating outward current (ifo) at test potentials positive to the potassium equilibrium potential. At +55 mV ifo-amplitude increasedto 165 ± 14% ofreference (n = 16, P 〈 0.005). LDL-induced effects on ifo-current could be mimicked by application of the calcium ionophore A 23187 (1 μmol/l) which led to an increase of ifo-current to 161 ± 25% of the reference (test potential + 55 mV, n = 11, P 〈 0.005). Acetylated-LDL (100 μg/ml, 5–15 min) produced no significant effect on the membrane currents under investigation.

    Notes: Abstract In sheep cardiac Purkinje fibers concentration-dependent inhibition of transient outward current (ito) by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 3-1000 μmol/l) was recorded with the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique, and correlated effects on action potential duration measured at — 70 mV (APD-70) were investigatigated. Half-maximal inhibition of ito-amplitude occurred at 15 μmol/l 4-AP. The drug exhibited no major effect on voltage-dependent control of inactivation but reduced the maximally available ito-current. At different activation frequencies (0.05 Hz, 0.25 Hz, 1 Hz) an equal amount of ito-current, measured as percentage of the respective control, was inhibited by 4-AP. The APD-70 was on the average increased by 4-AP (3–500 μmol/l) in a concentration-dependont manner up to 151 % of control. The drug-induced prolongation, measured as percentage of the respective control, was independent of stimulation frequency (0.05 Hz, 0.25 Hz, 1 Hz). Prolongation of APD-70 was on the average more pronounced for short action potentials (APD-70〈150 ms: 169 % of reference) than for longer ones (APD-70 150–300 ms: prolongation to 117 % of reference; 500 μmol/l 4-AP; 0.25 Hz stimulation rate). Few long control signals (APD-70 〉300 ms) were shortened by 4-AP. These results indicate that inhibition of ito-current by appropriate drugs will result in a reduction of inhomogeneity of action potential duration.
