Involvement of potassium channels in tectorigenin-induced vasorelaxation in porcine coronary arteries. ( A ) Effects of various potassium channel blockers on vasorelaxation induced by 30 µM tectorigenin. Pretreatment with glibenclamide (10 µM), iberiotoxin <t>(IbTX,</t> 200 nM), <t>tetraethylammonium</t> <t>(TEA,</t> 1 mM), apamin (100 nM), or charybdotoxin (1 µM) did not significantly affect the relaxant response ( p > 0.05), whereas 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 1 mM) significantly attenuated tectorigenin-induced relaxation ( p < 0.05). ( B ) Concentration-dependent inhibitory effect of 4-AP (1 mM) on tectorigenin-induced relaxation. Significant inhibition was observed at 10 and 30 µM († p < 0.05 vs. corresponding tectorigenin alone), but not at 100 µM. ( C ) Comparison of the relaxant effects of 30 µM tectorigenin in porcine coronary arteries pre-contracted with either 100 nM U46619 or 80 mM KCl. Tectorigenin elicited significant vasorelaxation in U46619-pre-contracted rings but had negligible effect in KCl-contracted rings. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) from four independent hearts. U46619 plateau (normalised to 60 mM KCl) was similar across groups ( p > 0.05; Supplementary Table 2).

Isolation:

Article Title: Loss of Ca V 1.3 RNA editing enhances mouse hippocampal plasticity, learning, and memory
Article Snippet: 1M TTX (Alomone) was always included in the bath solution when recording Ca2+ and K+ currents, a cocktail of 10mM TEA-Cl, 5mM 4-AP and 5 mM CsCl was added in the external solution when recording Ca2+ current, 1M and 10M nifedipine (L-type channel blocker; Sigma-Aldrich) was applied to bath sequentially for isolation of CaV1.3 channel currents. .. For isolation of IbTX sensitive BK currents, 100 nM IbTX (BK channel blocker; Alomone) was applied to the bath solution. ..

Article Title: Study of membrane potential in T lymphocytes subpopulations using flow cytometry
Article Snippet: .. Stock solutions of MgTX (kindly provided by Dr. Maria L. Garcia, Merck & Co.) and IbTX (Alamone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) were prepared in a saline solution with 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), and 0.1% (w/v) BSA. ..

Article Title: Functional characterization of ion channels expressed in kidney organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells.
Article Snippet: Kidney organoids derived from human or rodent pluripotent stem cells have glomerular structures and differentiated/polarized nephron segments.. Although there is an increasing understanding of the patterns of expression of transcripts and proteins within kidney organoids, there is a paucity of data regarding functional protein expression, in particular on transporters that mediate the vectorial transport of solutes.. Using cells derived from kidney organoids, we examined the functional expression of key ion channels that are expressed in distal nephron segments: the large-conductance Ca2þ -activated Kþ (BKCa) channel, the renal outer medullary Kþ (ROMK, Kir1.1) channel, and the epithelial Naþ channel (ENaC).

Melatonin stimulates outward currents. (A) time course of the outward current at a test potential of +70 mV during the addition of 10 −5 mol l −1 melatonin (Mel), of bath solution (time control) and of 10 −5 mol l −1 melatonin in the presence of 3*10 −7 mol l −1 iberiotoxin, a specific BK channel inhibitor (Mel + IBTX). The application period of melatonin and of the bath solution, respectively, is indicated by the gray area; s—start of application, e—end of application; data points are the mean current during the last 200 ms of the voltage step. (B) Example traces of the outward current at the start (s) and the end (e) of melatonin application evoked by a voltage step from a holding potential of −40 mV to a test potential of +70 mV with duration 500 ms (left panel) and a voltage ramp from −70 mV to +100 mV providing the I‐V relationship (right panel), respectively. (C) Summarized data of the effect of melatonin (Mel) on the outward current, data are expressed as the ratio of the current at the end of the application period (I K (e)) to the initial current immediately at the start of the application period (I K (s)); test potential +70 mV; number of cells investigated appears on bar; * ‐ p < 0.05.
