Popis: Abstract TREK-1 is a mechanosensitive channel activated by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Its activation is supposed to be linked to changes in membrane tension following PUFAs insertion. Here, we compared the effect of 11 fatty acids and ML402 on TREK-1 channel activation using the whole cell and the inside-out configurations of the patch-clamp technique. Firstly, TREK-1 activation by PUFAs is variable and related to the variable constitutive activity of TREK-1. We observed no correlation between TREK-1 activation and acyl chain length or number of double bonds suggesting that the bilayer-couple hypothesis cannot explain by itself the activation of TREK-1 by PUFAs. The membrane fluidity measurement is not modified by PUFAs at 10 µM. The spectral shift analysis in TREK-1-enriched microsomes indicates a KD,TREK1 at 44 µM of C22:6 n-3. PUFAs display the same activation and reversible kinetics than the direct activator ML402 and activate TREK-1 in both whole-cell and inside-out configurations of patch-clamp suggesting that the binding site of PUFAs is accessible from both sides of the membrane, as for ML402. Finally, we proposed a two steps mechanism: first, insertion into the membrane, with no fluidity or curvature modifications at 10 µM, and then interaction with TREK-1 channel to open it.
