Becq F, Hollande E, Gola M: Phosphorylation-regulated low-conductance Cl- channels in a human pancreatic duct cell line. Pflugers Arch. 1993 Oct;425(1-2):1-8.
A low-conductance Cl- channel has been identified in the apical membrane of the human pancreatic duct cell Capan-1 using patch-clamp techniques. Cell-attached channels were activated by the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP, 0.1 mumol/l), dibutyryl-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (db-cAMP, 1 mmol/l), 8-bromo adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP, 1 mmol/l), 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX, 100 mumol/l) and forskolin (10 mumol/l). No channel activity was observed in non-stimulated control cells. In both cell-attached and excised inside-out patches, the channel had a linear current/voltage relationship and a unitary conductance of 9 pS at 23 degrees C and 12 pS at 37 degrees C. Its opening probability was not voltage dependent although pronounced flickering was induced at negative potentials. Anionic substitution led to the selectivity sequence Cl- > I- >> > HCO3- > gluconate. In inside-out excised patches, the channel activity declined spontaneously within a few minutes. Reactivation of silent excised channels was achieved by adding protein kinase A (PKA, in the presence of ATP, cAMP and Mg2+). Conversely, active channels were silenced in the presence of alkaline phosphatase. The PKA-activated Cl- channel was 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS, 100 mumol/l) and 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (SITS, 100 mumol/l) insensitive, but was blocked by diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPC, 100 mumol/l). These results demonstrate that the apical low-conductance Cl- channel in Capan-1 is regulated on-cell by VIP receptors via cAMP and off-cell by PKA and phosphatases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
