Previous work has demonstrated that Lambert-Eaton syndrome (LES) antibodies reduce calcium currents in nonneuronal cells and neurons and reduce the amplitude of extracellularly recorded currents at mouse motor nerve terminals. We compared effects of LES sera on whole-cell currents of cultured nerve and muscle. LES sera more strongly reduced calcium currents in motoneurons than in sensory neurons. Motoneuronal potassium currents were unaffected. The sera minimally affected calcium currents in skeletal and cardiac muscle. In motoneurons, both low voltage-activated (LVA) and high voltage-activated (HVA) components of calcium current were decreased, demonstrating that the sera targeted more than one calcium channel type. The HVA current remaining in LES-treated motoneurons was little affected by micromolar omega-conotoxin MVIIC but was reduced > 70% by micromolar nimodipine. This pharmacological profile contrasts with untreated cells and suggest that LES sera primarily spare L-type currents in motoneurons.
先前的研究表明,兰伯特-伊顿综合征(LES)抗体可降低非神经元细胞和神经元中的钙电流,并降低小鼠运动神经末梢细胞外记录电流的幅度。我们比较了LES血清对培养的神经细胞和肌肉细胞全细胞电流的影响。LES血清对运动神经元钙电流的降低作用比对感觉神经元更强。运动神经元的钾电流未受影响。这些血清对骨骼肌和心肌的钙电流影响极小。在运动神经元中,钙电流的低电压激活(LVA)成分和高电压激活(HVA)成分均降低,表明这些血清作用于不止一种钙通道类型。经LES处理的运动神经元中剩余的HVA电流受微摩尔浓度的ω-芋螺毒素MVIIC影响较小,但受微摩尔浓度的尼莫地平影响降低>70%。这种药理学特征与未处理的细胞不同,提示LES血清主要使运动神经元中的L型电流免受影响。
