Desensitization to ionophoretically applied ACh has been studied at voltage-clamped neuromuscular junctions of Rana pipiens. The time courses of both the onset of and recovery from desensitization displayed two components. The application of metabolic inhibitors to the preparation decreased the degree of recovery and also decreased both time constants of onset. The effect on onset was more pronounced on the slow component while no effect selective for either of the two components of recovery was seen. Intracellular injection of EGTA into the muscle cell increased both time constants of desensitization onset. The effect was much more pronounced on the slow component. Increasing the dose of ACh selectively decreased the fast time constant of desensitization onset. The effect was more selective in low-calcium than normal Ringer solution. These observations suggest that there are at least two independent mechanisms in the process of desensitization at the neuromuscular junction. These mechanisms differ in time course, degree of dependency on [Ca]i, and sensitivity to acetylcholine dose.
在牛蛙的电压钳制神经肌肉接头处,对离子电泳施加的乙酰胆碱(ACh)脱敏现象进行了研究。脱敏起始和恢复的时间进程均显示出两个成分。向标本施加代谢抑制剂会降低恢复程度,同时也会降低起始的两个时间常数。对起始的影响在慢成分上更为明显,而在恢复的两个成分中未观察到对其中任何一个成分有选择性的影响。向肌肉细胞内注射乙二醇双乙醚二胺四乙酸(EGTA)会增加脱敏起始的两个时间常数。该影响在慢成分上更为显著。增加乙酰胆碱的剂量会选择性地降低脱敏起始的快速时间常数。在低钙林格氏液中,该影响比在正常林格氏液中更具选择性。这些观察结果表明,在神经肌肉接头处的脱敏过程中至少存在两种独立的机制。这些机制在时间进程、对细胞内钙离子浓度([Ca]i)的依赖程度以及对乙酰胆碱剂量的敏感性方面存在差异。
