摘要: MCF-7 cells express voltage-activated K+ channels. In the present study, we used patch-clamp and RT-PCR techniques to investigate involvement of these channels during cell cycle progression. The outward rectifier current (IK) recorded depolarization was almost completely suppressed by classical channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) in cells. TEA also inhibited proliferation, as measured with 3H-thymidine incorporation. Moreover, profound changes were observed both resting membrane potential (RMP) IK release from G0/G1 phase cycle. arrested depolarized (-26.3 +/- 10 mV, n = 30) IK-density small (9.4 5.6 pA/pF, 60) compared progressing G1 (RMP -60 7.9 mV; 35 30.2 8.5 pA/pF; 76). highly sensitive Mg2+, astemizole (10 mM).
