Abstract
Guanosine (GUO), widely considered a key signaling mediator, is implicated in the regulation of several cellular processes. While its interaction with neural membranes has been described, GUO still is an orphan neuromodulator. It has been postulated that GUO may eventually interact with potassium channels and adenosine (ADO) receptors (ARs), both particularly important for the control of cellular excitability. Accordingly, here, we investigated the effects of GUO on the bioelectric activity of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells by whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. We first explored the contribution of voltage-dependent K+ channels and, besides this, the role of ARs in the regulation of GUO-dependent cellular electrophysiology. Our data support that GUO is able to specifically modulate K+-dependent outward currents over cell membranes. Importantly, administering ADO along with GUO potentiates its effects. Overall, these results suggested that K+ outward membrane channels may be targeted by GUO with an implication of ADO receptors in SH-SY5Y cells, but also support the hypothesis of a functional interaction of the two ligands. The present research runs through the leitmotif of the deorphanization of GUO, adding insight on the interplay with adenosinergic signaling and suggesting GUO as a powerful modulator of SH-SY5Y excitability.

Abstract
Cremophor EL (CrEL) is a non-ionic surfactant widely used as a vehicle for insoluble drugs, including immunosuppressive and anticancer agents. Although CrEL has often been reported to induce sensory neuropathies, its action on voltage-gated ion channels remains unknown. We show here that CrEL modulates voltage-gated sodium current (INa) and potassium current (IK) of human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y). First, CrEL suppressed the amplitude of INa and that of IK. The suppression-concentration curve for INa was gradual but that for IK was steeper, indicating that INa remains incompletely blocked by high concentrations of CrEL, which greatly reduce IK. Thus, it is possible that CrEL paradoxically increases neuronal excitability at higher concentrations. Next, CrEL accelerated IK's inactivation process. The voltage-dependent inactivation of IK showed two time constants, τ(f) of 322±49 ms and τ(s) of 2925±184 ms, under the control condition. By applying 1000 ppm CrEL, three time constants-τ(u) of 23±2 ms, τ(f) of 196±19 ms, and τ(s) of 1396±127 ms-appeared in the inactivation process. This modified inactivation of IK probably disturbs the repolarizing phases of action potentials. These modulations of voltage-gated ion channels by CrEL may cause abnormal excitability involved in neuropathies.

Abstract
Crystal structures of potassium (K(+)) channels reveal that the selectivity filter, the narrow portion of the pore, is only approximately 3-A wide and buttressed from behind, so that its ability to expand is highly constrained, and the permeation of molecules larger than Rb(+) (2.96 A in diameter) is prevented. N-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG(+)), an organic monovalent cation, is thought to be a blocker of Kv channels, as it is much larger (approximately 7.3 A in mean diameter) than K(+) (2.66 A in diameter). However, in the absence of K(+), significant NMDG(+) currents could be recorded from human embryonic kidney cells expressing Kv3.1 or Kv3.2b channels and Kv1.5 R487Y/V, but not wild-type channels. Inward currents were much larger than outward currents due to the presence of intracellular Mg(2+) (1 mM), which blocked the outward NMDG(+) current, resulting in a strong inward rectification. The NMDG(+) current was inhibited by extracellular 4-aminopyridine (5 mM) or tetraethylammonium (10 mM), and largely eliminated in Kv3.2b by an S6 mutation that prevents the channel from opening (P468W) and by a pore helix mutation in Kv1.5 R487Y (W472F) that inactivates the channel at rest. These data indicate that NMDG(+) passes through the open ion-conducting pore and suggest a very flexible nature of the selectivity filter itself. 0.3 or 1 mM K(+) added to the external NMDG(+) solution positively shifted the reversal potential by approximately 16 or 31 mV, respectively, giving a permeability ratio for K(+) over NMDG(+) (P(K)(+)/P(NMDG)(+)) of approximately 240. Reversal potential shifts in mixtures of K(+) and NMDG(+) are in accordance with P(K)(+)/P(NMDG)(+), indicating that the ions compete for permeation and suggesting that NMDG(+) passes through the open state. Comparison of the outer pore regions of Kv3 and Kv1.5 channels identified an Arg residue in Kv1.5 that is replaced by a Tyr in Kv3 channels. Substituting R with Y or V allowed Kv1.5 channels to conduct NMDG(+), suggesting a regulation by this outer pore residue of Kv channel flexibility and, as a result, permeability.

Abstract
The medial septum diagonal band complex (MS/DB) projects via cholinergic and GABAergic pathways to the hippocampus and plays a key role in the hippocampal theta rhythm. In the MS/DB we have previously described a population of fast spiking GABAergic neurons that contain parvalbumin and mediate theta frequency activity in vitro. The Kv3.1 potassium channel is a delayed rectifier channel that plays a major role in fast spiking neurons in the CNS, and has previously been localized in the MS/DB. To determine which cell types in the MS/DB express the Kv3.1b ion channel subunit, transgenic mice in which the expression of GABAergic and glutamate markers are associated with the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP; GAD67-GFP and VGluT2-GFP mice, respectively) were used for immunofluorescence and axonal tract tracing. Electrophysiological studies were also carried out on rat MS/DB slices to examine the role of the Kv3.1 channel in theta frequency oscillations. The results for the MS/DB were as follows: (1) cholinergic cells did not express GFP in either GAD67-GFP or VGluT2-GFP mice, and there was GAD67 immunoreactivity in GFP-positive neurons in GAD67-GFP mice and in a small proportion (6%) of GFP-positive neurons in VGluT2-GFP mice. (2) Kv3.1b immunofluorescence was associated with the somata of GABAergic neurons, especially those that contained parvalbumin, and with a minority of glutamatergic neurons, but not with cholinergic neurons, and with GABAergic axonal terminal-like processes around certain GABAergic neurons. (3) Both Kv3.1b-positive and -negative GABAergic neurons were septo-hippocampal, and there was a minor projection to hippocampus from VGluT2-GFP neurons. (4) Kainate-induced theta oscillations in the MS/DB slice were potentiated rather than inhibited by the Kv3.1 blocker 4-aminopyridine, and this agent on its own produced theta frequency oscillations in MS/DB slices that were reduced by ionotropic glutamate and GABA receptor antagonists and abolished by low extracellular calcium. These studies confirm the presence of heterogeneous populations of septo-hippocampal neurons in the MS/DB, and suggest that presence of Kv3.1 in the GABAergic neurons does not contribute to theta activity through fast spiking properties, but possibly by the regulation of transmitter release from axonal terminals.

Abstract
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) peptide plays a major role in energy homeostasis regulation. Little is known about cellular functions engaged by endogenous MCH receptor (MCH-R1). Here, MCH-R1 mRNA and cognate protein were found expressed in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Electrophysiological experiments demonstrated that MCH modulated K(+) currents, an effect depending upon the time of cellular growth. MCH treatments induced a transient phosphorylation of MAPKinases, abolished by PD98059, and partially blocked by PTX, suggesting a Galphai/Galphao protein contribution. MCH stimulated expression and likely nuclear localization of phosphorylated p53 proteins, an effect fully dependent upon MAPKinase activities. MCH treatment also increased phosphorylation of Elk-1 and up-regulated Egr-1, two transcriptional factors targeted by the MAPKinase pathway. Finally, MCH provoked neurite outgrowth after 24h-treatment of neuroblastoma cells. This effect and transcriptional factors activation were partly prevented by PD98059. Collectively, our results provide the first evidence for a role of MCH in neuronal differentiation of endogenously MCH-R1-expressing cells via non-exclusive MAPKinase and p53 signaling pathways.

Abstract
A role in the control of excitability has been attributed to insulin via modulation of potassium (K(+)) currents. To investigate insulin modulatory effects on voltage-activated potassium currents in a neuronal cell line with origin in the sympathetic system, we performed whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings in differentiated N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. Two main voltage-activated K(+) currents were identified: (a) a relatively fast inactivating current (I(fast) - time constant 50-300 ms); (b) a slow delayed rectifying K(+) current (I(slow) - time constant 1-4 s). The kinetics of inactivation of I(fast), rather than I(slow), showed clear voltage dependence. I(fast) and I(slow) exhibited different activation and inactivation dependence for voltage, and have different but nevertheless high sensitivities to tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine and quinidine. In differentiated cells - rather than in non-differentiated cells - application of up to 300 nm insulin reduced I(slow) only (IC(50) = 6.7 nm), whereas at higher concentrations I(fast) was also affected (IC(50) = 7.7 microm). The insulin inhibitory effect is not due to a change in the activation or inactivation current-voltage profiles, and the time-dependent inactivation is also not altered; this is not likely to be a result of activation of the insulin-growth-factor-1 (IGF1) receptors, as application of IGF1 did not result in significant current alteration. Results suggest that the current sensitive to low concentrations of insulin is mediated by erg-like channels. Similar observations concerning the insulin inhibitory effect on slow voltage-activated K(+) currents were also made in isolated rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons, suggesting a widespread neuromodulator role of insulin on K(+) channels.

Abstract
In this work, we report the single channel characterization of a voltage gated cationic channel from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membranes of rat hepatocytes incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer. The channel was found to be cation selective with a main conductance of 598+/-20 pS in 200 mM KCl cis/50 mM KCl trans. The channel open probability appeared voltage dependent with a voltage for half activation (V(1/2)) of 38 mV and an effective gating charge z of -6.66. Adding either 4-AP (5 mM) or ATP (2.5 mM) to the side corresponding to the cell internal medium caused a strong inhibition of the channel activity. This channel is likely to be involved in maintaining proper cation homeostasis in the RER of hepatocytes.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Lidocaine may lead to an alteration in the processing of hearing as observed during tinnitus by inhibiting voltage-gated potassium channels at clinically relevant concentrations. BACKGROUND Recent molecular evidence suggests that the voltage-gated potassium channels Kv 3.1 and Kv 1.1 play an important functional role in the auditory system. Lidocaine is known to influence the auditory system and may thus exert pharmacological effects on these human potassium channels. METHODS Patch-clamp recordings were performed on the pharmacologic action of lidocaine on Kv 3.1 channels natively expressed in SH-SY5Y cells and Kv 1.1 channels expressed in HEK 293 cells. RESULTS Lidocaine reversibly inhibited Kv 3.1 and Kv 1.1 channels in a concentration-dependent manner. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration for conductance block was 607 micromol/L for Kv 3.1 (n=47) and 4,550 micromol/L for Kv 1.1 channels (n=56), respectively. The Hill coefficients were 0.9 and 0.8. Conductance block was voltage dependent for Kv 3.1 but not for Kv 1.1 channels. The midpoint of current activation of both channels was shifted to hyperpolarized potentials. At free plasma concentrations determined during suppression (0.5-1 mg/L; 1.75-3.5 micromol/L) or induction (>1-2 mg/L; >3.5-7 micromol/L) of tinnitus Kv 3.1 and K v1.1 channels would be suppressed by at most 1.5 to 2%. CONCLUSION Human Kv 3.1 and Kv 1.1 channels exhibited different sensitivities to the inhibitory action of lidocaine. The small effect at clinically relevant concentrations suggests that the physiologic roles of Kv 3.1 and Kv 1.1 channels in auditory neurons seem not to be impaired during the therapeutic or diagnostic application of lidocaine in the auditory system.

Abstract
Stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is a chemokine whose receptor, CXCR4, is distributed in specific brain areas including hypothalamus. SDF-1alpha has recently been found to play important roles in neurons, although direct modulation of voltage-gated ionic channels has never been shown. In order to clarify this issue, we performed patch-clamp experiments in fetal mouse hypothalamic neurons in culture. SDF-1alpha (10 nm) decreased the peak and rising slope of the action potentials and spike discharge frequency in 22% of hypothalamic neurons tested. This effect was blocked by the CXCR4 antagonist AMD 3100 (1 microm) but not by the metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist MCPG (500 microm), indicating a direct action of SDF-1alpha on its cognate receptor. This effect involved a depression of both inward and outward voltage-dependent currents of the action potential. We confirmed these effects in the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y, which endogenously expresses CXCR4. Voltage-clamp experiments revealed that SDF-1alpha induced a 20% decrease in the peak of the tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current and tetraethylammonium-sensitive delayed rectifier potassium current, respectively. Both effects were concentration dependent, and blocked by AMD 3100 (200 nm). This dual effect was reduced or blocked by 0.4 mm GTPgammaS G-protein pre-activation or by pre-treatment with the G-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin (200 ng/mL), suggesting that it is mediated via activation of a G(i/o) protein. This study extends the functions of SDF-1alpha to a direct modulation of voltage-dependent membrane currents of neuronal cells.
