Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides of sulfonylurea receptors inhibit ATP-sensitive K+ channels in cultured neonatal rat ventricular cells

To identify the functional sulfonylurea receptor (SUR), a subunit of the adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, in neonatal rat ventricular cells, such cells in primary culture were treated for 6 days with antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) complementary to the m...

Description
Summary:To identify the functional sulfonylurea receptor (SUR), a subunit of the adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, in neonatal rat ventricular cells, such cells in primary culture were treated for 6 days with antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) complementary to the mRNA for SURs. For quantification, single-channel (inside-out patches) and whole-cell currents were measured using the patch-clamp technique. The maximal KATP currents (at 0 mV) induced by metabolic inhibition were 48.9+/-2.8 pA/pF in control (n=48), 34.3+/-3.5 pA/pF in AS-SUR1 (n=21, P
