11719847 Chiba T, Marcus DC: Basolateral K+ conductance establishes driving force for cation absorption by outer sulcus epithelial cells. J Membr Biol. 2001 Nov 15;184(2):101-12.

On the other hand, TEA (20 mm), charybdotoxin (100 nm), apamin (100 nm), glibenclamide (10 microm), 4-aminopyridine (1 mm) and gadolinium (1 mm) had no significant effect.
These data suggest that the large K+ conductance, in concert with the Na+,K+-ATPase, of the basolateral membrane of outer sulcus cells provides the driving force for cation entry across the apical membrane, thereby energizing vectorial cation absorption by this epithelium and contributing to the homeostasis of endolymph.

Thapsigargin and cyclopiazoic acid, inhibitors of Ca2+-ATPase in endoplasmic reticulum, abolished pacemaker currents.
In addition, tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine and glibenclamide did not affect on the pacemaker currents.

The alpha,beta-MeATP-induced inhibition was blocked in a concentration-dependent manner in the presence of the K+ channel blocker apamin, but was unaffected by other K+ channel blockers, such as charybdotoxin (10 (-7) mol/L), 4-aminopyridine (10 (-4) mol/L), glibenclamide (10 (-5) mol/L) and tetraethylammonium (10 (-3) mol/L). 4.
In order to investigate whether the internal Ca2+ stores participated in the inhibitory effect observed, we depleted internal Ca2+ stores with cyclopiazonic acid, a specific Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor.

Eur J Pharmacol. 2004 Jul 8;495(1):35-42.

Tetrodotoxin, nifedipine, tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, or glibenclamide did not change the frequency and amplitude of pacemaker currents.
However, substance P-induced tonic inward currents were blocked by thapsigargin, a Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor in the endoplasmic reticulum or by an external 1 mM Na+ solution.

15111247 Amador FC, Santos MS, Oliveira CR: Lipid peroxidation and aluminium effects on the cholinergic system in nerve terminals. Neurotox Res. 2001 Jul;3(3):223-33.

In the present study, we analyzed how aluminium and oxidative stress induced by ascorbate/Fe (2+) affect the mechanisms related with the cholinergic system in a crude synaptosomal fraction isolated from rat brain. [(3) H] Choline uptake, [(3) H] acetylcholine release, membrane potential and Na (+)/K (+)-ATPase activity were determined in the presence or in the absence of aluminium in control conditions and in the presence of ascorbate (0.8 mM)/Fe (2+) (2.5 micro M).
Additionally, aluminium potentiated the inhibition of the high-affinity [(3) H] choline uptake observed following lipid peroxidation and had the same effect on the Na (+)/K (+)-ATPase activity. [(3) H] Acetylcholine release induced by 4-aminopyridine, and membrane potential were not significantly affected under oxidizing conditions, either in the absence or in the presence of aluminium.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of omeprazole and lansoprazole, H (+)-K (+) ATPase inhibitors, in gallbladder smooth muscle contractility in vitro.
Pretreatment with atropine (1 microM), N (W)-nitro L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 30 microM), indomethacin (10 microM), ammonium chloride (7.5 mM), sodium acetate (7.5 mM), tetraethylammonium chloride (0.5 mM), glibenclamide (1 micro M), 4-aminopyridine (0.1 mM), or clotrimazole did not inhibit this relaxation.

10741431 Wadsworth SJ, Chander A: H+-and K+-dependence of Ca2+ uptake in lung lamellar bodies. J Membr Biol. 2000 Mar 1;174(1):41-51.

The inhibitors of Ca2+-activated K+-channels, tetraethylammonium, Penitrem A, and 4-aminopyridine, also inhibited the K+-dependent Ca2+ uptake at 700 nM Ca2+.
At 100 nM Ca2+, the uptake was almost completely inhibited by bafilomycin A1, a selective inhibitor of vacuolar type H+-ATPase, or by NH4Cl, which raises the lamellar body pH, suggesting that the pH gradient regulates the uptake.

Immunocytochemical analysis of cell culture and kidney inner medulla showed that Kv1.3 is colocalized with the Na (+)-K (+)-ATPase at the basolateral membrane, although it is also in the cytoplasm.
It was inhibited by tetraethylammonium, quinidine, 4-aminopyridine, and Ba (2+) and was not Ca (2+) dependent.

After a washout period, this procedure was repeated in presence of ouabain, a blocker of Na+ /K+ ATPase or a K+ channel blocker (tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, glibenclamide or barium).

Similarly, potassium channel blockers such as 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 100 microM) and tetraethylammonium (TEA; 100 microM) caused a significant inhibition on relaxations to KCl.
In addition, ouabain (100 microM), a specific blocker of Na (+)-K (+)-ATPase, also caused a significant inhibition on these relaxations.

The Ca (2+)-dependent release of glutamate evoked by 4-aminopyridine (4AP) was facilitated by aspirin in a concentration-dependent manner, but the 4AP-evoked Ca (2+)-independent release was not modified.

The insulin effect was also significantly (p <0.05) inhibited by tetraethylammonium (TEA; BK (Ca) blocker), 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP; K (V) channel blocker), combined treatments (L-NAME+4-AP+TEA, in +ED tissues) or (4-AP+TEA, in -ED tissues).

RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemical techniques collectively showed the presence of alpha (1)-, alpha (2)- and alpha (3)-subunits of Na (+)/K (+)-ATPase in the myocytes. 6.
In the presence of 10 microM phenylephrine (m.p. -33.7+/-3 mV), repolarization to 5 mM KCl did not occur in the presence or absence of 4-aminopyridine but was restored (-26.9+/-1.8 mV) on addition of iberiotoxin (100 nM).

These relaxations were not altered by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), glibenclamide or apamin.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca (2+) ATPase pump, which regulate [Ca (2+)](i), are expressed at lower levels in these cells compared with the levels in cells from wild-type (WT) mice.
This delay was increased by hyperpolarizing prepulses and was eliminated by 4-aminopyridine, which suggests that this delay was due to enhancement of the A-like K (+) conductance in the SCA1 PCs.

ODQ-resistant relaxation to spermine NONOate (i. e. relaxation seen in the presence of 10 microM ODQ) was inhibited by potassium (80 mM), charybdotoxin (300 nM), iberiotoxin (300 nM), apamin (100 nM), ouabain (1 mM) or thapsigargin (100 nM) but not by 4-aminopyridine (3 mM), glybenclamide (10 microM) or diltiazem (10 microM).
We conclude that, on rat pulmonary artery, spermine NONOate can produce cyclic GMP-independent relaxation that involves, at least in part, activation of Na (+)/K (+)-ATPase, sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca (2+)-ATPase and calcium-activated potassium channels.

I (sc) was also inhibited by an inhibitor of Na (+),K (+)-ATPase, ouabain, and by the K (+) channel blockers Ba (2+), 4-aminopyridine and quinine but not tetraethylammonium nor glibenclamide, consistent with the presence of a voltage-activated K (+) channel.

The inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum with micromolar concentrations of thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid either abolished or enhanced, respectively, the TEA-induced oscillatory contractions.
The voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channel specific blocker, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), induced a sustained, but not oscillated, vascular contraction.

This vesicular Glu uptake inhibition was achieved largely without affecting H (+)-pump ATPase.
We show that various degrees of reduction elicited by Rose Bengal in [(3) H] Glu in synaptic vesicles inside the synaptosome result in a corresponding decrease in the amount of [(3) H] Glu released in a depolarization- (induced by 4-aminopyridine) and Ca (2+)-dependent manner.

These relaxations were decreased in magnitude and/or slowed by nifedipine (10 (-6) M), ouabain (10 (-6) M), or tetraethylammonium (25 mM), but not by 4-aminopyridine (5 mM), and were small or absent in tissues precontracted with 30 mM KCl.
