Smooth muscle cells (SMCs), Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and Platelet-derived growth factor receptor α positive (PDGFRα) cells form an integrated, electrical syncytium within the gastrointestinal (GI) muscular tissues known as the SIP syncytium. Immunohistochemical analysis of gastric corpus muscles showed that c-KIT/ANO1 ICC-IM and PDGFRα cells were closely apposed to one another in the same anatomical niches. We used intracellular microelectrode recording from corpus muscle bundles to characterize the roles of intramuscular ICC and PDGFRα cells in conditioning membrane potentials of gastric muscles. In muscle bundles, that have a relatively higher input impedance than larger muscle strips or sheets, we recorded an ongoing discharge of stochastic fluctuations in membrane potential, previously called unitary potentials or spontaneous transient depolarizations (STDs) and spontaneous transient hyperpolarizations (STHs). We reasoned that STDs should be blocked by antagonists of ANO1, the signature conductance of ICC. Activation of ANO1 has been shown to generate spontaneous transient inward currents (STICs), which are the basis for STDs. Ani9 reduced membrane noise and caused hyperpolarization, but this agent did not block the fluctuations in membrane potential quantitatively. Apamin, an antagonist of small conductance Ca-activated K channels (SK3), the signature conductance in PDGFRα cells, further reduced membrane noise and caused depolarization. Reversing the order of channel antagonists reversed the sequence of depolarization and hyperpolarization. These experiments show that the ongoing discharge of STDs and STHs by ICC and PDGFRα cells, respectively, exerts conditioning effects on membrane potentials in the SIP syncytium that would effectively regulate the excitability of SMCs.
