To study the properties of transient outward K+ current (Ito) and inward rectifier K+ current (IKl) in immature human heart.
Ito and IKl were recorded using whole-cell patch-clamp technique in atrial myocytes isolated from 12 immature (aged from 6 months to 5 a) human hearts.
Ito was voltage-dependent, activated and inactivated rapidly. The IC50 (95% confidence limits) of 4-AP on Ito was 0.64 (0.48-0.87) mmol.L-1. 4-AP 1 mmol.L-1 shifted V1/2 of activation from (6.6 +/- 2.0) mV to (19.8 +/- 3.0) mV (n = 4-10, P < 0.01). 4-AP 0.3 mmol.L-1 changed V1/2 of inactivation from (-49 +/- 4) mV to (-61.4 +/- 2.1) mV (n = 3, P < 0.01), but there were no obvious influence on voltage-dependent activation of Ito (P > 0.05). At the same concentration, the recovery time constant (tau value) was prolonged from (108 +/- 16) ms to (220 +/- 67) ms (n = 3-12, P < 0.01). IKl was also voltage-dependent. Its reverse potential was -40 mV.
Both Ito and IKl are important K+ channel currents in immature human atrial myocytes. 4-AP can affect the inactivation and recovery of Ito at low concentration (0.3 mmol.L-1) and affect its activation at high concentration (1 mmol.L-1).
研究未成熟人心肌瞬时外向钾电流(Ito)和内向整流钾电流(IKl)的特性。
采用全细胞膜片钳技术记录从12例未成熟(年龄6个月至5岁)人心脏分离的心房肌细胞中的Ito和IKl。
Ito呈电压依赖性,激活和失活迅速。4-氨基吡啶(4-AP)对Ito的半数抑制浓度(IC50,95%置信区间)为0.64(0.48 - 0.87)mmol·L-1。1 mmol·L-1的4-AP使激活的半数电压(V1/2)从(6.6±2.0)mV移至(19.8±3.0)mV(n = 4 - 10,P < 0.01)。0.3 mmol·L-1的4-AP使失活的V1/2从(-49±4)mV变为(-61.4±2.1)mV(n = 3,P < 0.01),但对Ito的电压依赖性激活无明显影响(P > 0.05)。在相同浓度下,恢复时间常数(τ值)从(108±16)ms延长至(220±67)ms(n = 3 - 12,P < 0.01)。IKl也呈电压依赖性。其反转电位为 - 40 mV。
Ito和IKl都是未成熟人心房肌细胞中重要的钾通道电流。低浓度(0.3 mmol·L-1)的4-AP可影响Ito的失活和恢复,高浓度(1 mmol·L-1)时可影响其激活。
