Sodium-, chloride-, and mibefradil-sensitive calcium channels in intestinal pacing in wild-type and W/[W.sup.V] mice.

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology | June 1, 2006| | Copyright

Abstract: Pacing of intestinal smooth muscle is driven by a network of cells found in the myenteric plexus called the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-MP), which produce a rhythmic pacemaker current. Using intact segments of circular (CM) and longitudinal (LM) muscle from wild-type and W/[W.sup.V] mice, we found that sodium-, chloride-, and mibefradil-sensitive ion channel currents are required for normal pacing to occur. Application of 30 [micro]mol/L and 300 [micro]mol/L lidocaine, 1 mmol/L 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), 50 nmol/L and 500 nmol/L ...
