A variety of ion channels has been discovered in lymphocytes. RT-PCR and real-time PCR analysis revealed that ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) cell lines and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells mainly expressed TTX (tetrodotoxin)-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). Expression of VGSC protein was confirmed by western blots and Immunofluorescence. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings showed that a sub-population (20%) of MOLT-4 cells expressed functional VGSCs, which were TTX-sensitive. Importantly, 2 μM TTX decreased the invasion of Jurkat and MOLT-4 cells ∼90%. These results indicate that the activity of VGSCs could represent a novel mechanism potentiating the invasive capacity of these cells.
在淋巴细胞中发现了多种离子通道。逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）和实时定量聚合酶链反应（real-time PCR）分析显示，急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）细胞系和人外周血单个核细胞主要表达对河豚毒素（TTX）敏感的电压门控钠通道（VGSCs）。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法（western blots）和免疫荧光法证实了VGSC蛋白的表达。全细胞膜片钳记录显示，MOLT-4细胞亚群（20%）表达功能性VGSCs，且对TTX敏感。重要的是，2 μM TTX使Jurkat细胞和MOLT-4细胞的侵袭能力降低了约90%。这些结果表明，VGSCs的活性可能代表了增强这些细胞侵袭能力的一种新机制。
