Kbgand Kv1.3 channels mediate potassium efflux in the early phase of apoptosis in Jurkat T lymphocytes

Abstract: Microelectrode ion flux estimation (MIFE) and patch-clamp techniques were combined for noninvasive K+ flux measurements and recording of activities of the dominant K+ channels in the early phases of apoptosis in Jurkat cells. Staurosporine (STS, 1 μM) evoked rapid (peaking around 15 min) transient K+ efflux, which then gradually decreased. This transient K+ efflux occurred concurrently with the transient increase of the K+ background (Kbg) TWIK-related spinal cord K+ channel-like current density, followed by a… Show more

“…Adequate inhibition of potassium channels is thought to cause membrane depolarization and activate voltage-dependent calcium channels, leading to cell proliferation (Burg et al, 2008). Additionally, activation of potassium channels plays an important role at an early stage of apoptosis (Burg et al, 2008;Valencia-Cruz et al, 2009). In the present study, noradrenaline increased DNA synthesis at a low dose and decreased it at a high dose ( Figure 4A).…”

“…Abundant expression of TRESK in the sensory neurons of dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia (1,2,7), and the high sensitivity to anesthetics (30 -35) and the paresthesia-inducing hydroxy-␣-sanshool (8) led to the hypothesis that the channel is important in the somatosensory function with special respect to pain sensation (9 -11). On the other hand, TRESK expression was reported in rat thymus and spleen (6), and recently in Jurkat human leukemic T lymphocytes (36,37). This localization and the unique regulation of the channel by calcineurin (a major target of extensively used immunosuppressant drugs) led to the suggestion that TRESK could be involved in T-cell-mediated immune functions (38).…”

“…In two recent reports, an instantaneous, noninactivating outward K ϩ current of human leukemic (Jurkat) T cells was attributed to TRESK (278,322). The pharmacological properties of this current were comparable to those of TRESK, and the single-channel conductance was also in the appropriate range.…”
