摘要: Previous studies have found that nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) exposure causes long-term permeabilization of the cell plasma membrane. In this study, we utilized whole-cell patch-clamp method to study nsPEF effect on currents voltage-gated (VG) Ca(2+) and Na(+) channels (I(Ca) I(Na)) in cultured GH3 NG108 cells. We a single 300 or 600 ns pulse at above 1.5-2 kV/cm caused prolonged inhibition I(Ca) I(Na). Concurrently, increased non-inactivating "leak" current (I(leak)), presumably due formation nanoelectropores larger pores The effects were similar cells exposed intact subsequently brought into recording configuration, first configuration then exposed. Although both I(leak) VG enhanced higher E-field levels, these two showed relatively weak correlation with each other. some cells, 10-fold more while remained unchanged. At longer time intervals after (5-15 min), I(Na) could remain inhibited although had largely recovered. causal relation inhibitory membrane is discussed.
