Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of PLC, PI3-K, and phospholipase A2 signaling cascades does not affect regulation of ClC-K2 activity by Ang II. A , representative continuous current trace from a cell-attached patch monitoring activity of basolateral ClC-K2 chloride channels in an intercalated cell of a freshly isolated collecting duct in the control, upon treatment with PLC inhibitor, U73122 (10 μM, gray line), Angiotensin II (500 nM, black line ) in the continued presence of the blocker, and following washout with the control medium. The patch was clamped to −V p = −60 mV; “c” denotes closed nonconducting state. Areas (1, control) and (2, Ang II + U73122) are shown below at an expanded timescale. Summary graphs of changes in ClC-K2 open probability ( P o ) upon pretreatment with PLC blocker, 10 μM U73122 ( B ), PI3-K blocker, 20 μM LY294002 ( C ), phospholipase A2 blocker, 30 μM AACOCF 3 ( D ); Ang II application in the continued presence of the respective antagonist, and following washout with control medium, as similarly shown in paired patch clamp experiment in ( A ). ∗ - significant increase ( p < 0.05) versus pretreatment with respective blocker (one-way ANOVA); ‡ - significant decrease ( p < 0.05) versus control (one-way ANOVA). Collecting ducts from at least three different mice were used for each set of experiments. PLC, phospholipase C.
Article Snippet: To dissolve the basal lamina and to get direct access to the basolateral membrane, isolated sectors were further incubated in the Ringer solution containing 0.8 mg/ml collagenase type I (Alfa Aesar) and 5 mg/ml of dispase II (Roche Diagnostics) for 20 min at 37 °C followed by extensive washout.
