TWIK1 (K2P1.1/KCNK1) belongs to the potassium channels of the two-pore domain. Its current is very small and difficult to measure. In this work, we used a 100 mM NH extracellular solution to increase TWIK1 current in its stable cell line expressed in HEK293. Then, the inhibition of magnolol on TWIK1 was observed via a whole-cell patch clamp experiment, and it was found that magnolol had a significant inhibitory effect on TWIK1 (IC = 6.21 ± 0.13 μM). By molecular docking and alanine scanning mutagenesis, the IC of TWIK1 mutants G229A, T225A, I140A, L223A, and S224A was 20.77 ± 3.20, 21.81 ± 7.93, 10.22 ± 1.07, 9.55 ± 1.62, and 7.43 ± 3.20 μM, respectively. Thus, we conclude that the inhibition of the TWIK1 channel by magnolol is related to G229 and T225 on the P2- pore helix.
TWIK1(K2P1.1/KCNK1)属于双孔域钾通道。其电流非常小,难以测量。在这项工作中,我们使用 100mM NH4+胞外液来增加在 HEK293 中稳定表达的细胞系中的 TWIK1 电流。然后,通过全细胞膜片钳实验观察厚朴酚对 TWIK1 的抑制作用,发现厚朴酚对 TWIK1 有显著的抑制作用(IC=6.21±0.13μM)。通过分子对接和丙氨酸扫描突变,TWIK1 突变体 G229A、T225A、I140A、L223A 和 S224A 的 IC 值分别为 20.77±3.20、21.81±7.93、10.22±1.07、9.55±1.62 和 7.43±3.20μM。因此,我们得出结论,厚朴酚对 TWIK1 通道的抑制作用与 P2-孔螺旋上的 G229 和 T225 有关。
