We found a TSH-dependent K+ channel in the membrane of a rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5 cell). This K+ channel is activated by extracellular application of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Treatment of dibutyryladenosine cyclic monophosphate (Bt2 cAMP) also activated the TSH-dependent K+ channel. Intracellular application of protein kinase A activates this K+ channel without the presence of free Ca2+. These findings indicate that the thyroid K+ channel is activated through the TSH-cAMP-protein kinase A system. This is the first report of a polypeptide hormone activated K+ channel and it should be useful for examining the effects of this K+ channel on thyroid cell functions.
我们在大鼠甲状腺细胞系(FRTL-5细胞)的细胞膜中发现了一种促甲状腺激素(TSH)依赖性钾通道。这种钾通道可通过在细胞外施加促甲状腺激素(TSH)而被激活。用二丁酰腺苷环化一磷酸(Bt2 cAMP)处理也可激活TSH依赖性钾通道。在不存在游离Ca2+的情况下,向细胞内施加蛋白激酶A可激活此钾通道。这些发现表明,甲状腺钾通道是通过TSH-cAMP-蛋白激酶A系统被激活的。这是关于多肽激素激活钾通道的首次报道,它对于研究这种钾通道对甲状腺细胞功能的影响应该是有用的。
