Popis: In mouse anococcygeus cells, simultaneous measurements of membrane currents and changes in intracellular Ca 2+ were obtained using “perforated-patch” whole-cell recordings and Fura-2 microfluorimetry. Carbachol (50 μM) and cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM) produced a biphasic inward current; a transient Ca 2+ -dependent chloride current ( I ClCa ), followed by a smaller, sustained current ( I DOC ). This response was mirrored by a biphasic increase in the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration. SKF96365 (1-{β-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl) propoxyl]-4-methoxyphenethyl}-1 H -imidazole; 10 μM) and Cd 2+ (100 μM) inhibited both I DOC and the sustained increase in intracellular Ca 2+ ; La 3+ (400 μM) inhibited neither response. The results confirm that the non-selective cation current I DOC underlies capacitative Ca 2+ influx supporting sustained contractions in this tonic smooth muscle.
