| Abstract | In the present study we tested the hypothesis that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) modulates resting chloride conductance (GCl) of rat skeletal muscle by activating a phosphatase and that the chloride channel, based on the activity of phosphorylating-dephosphorylating pathways, has different sensitivity to specific ligands, such as the enantiomers of 2-(p-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (CPP). For this purpose GCl in EDL muscle isolated from adult rat was first lowered by treatment with 5 nM 4-β-phorbol 12,13 dibutyrate (4-β-PDB), presumably activating protein kinase C (PKC). The effects of IGF-1 and of the enantiomers of CPP on GCl were then tested. IGF-1 (3.3 nM) had no effect of GCl on EDL muscle fibres in normal physiological solution, whereas it completely counteracted the 30% decrease of GCl induced by 4-β-PDB. No effects of IGF-1 were observed on GCl lowered by the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid (0.25 μM). Ceramide, reported to activate on okadaic acid-sensitive phosphatase, mimicked the effects of IGF-1. In fact, N-acetyl-sphingosine (2.5–5 μM), not very effective in control conditions, increased the GCl lowered by the phorbol ester, but not the GCl lowered by okadaic acid. In the presence of 4-β-PDB, GCl was differently affected by the enantiomers of CPP. The S(−)-CPP was remarkably less potent in producing the concentration-dependent reduction of GCl, whereas the R(+)-CPP caused an increase of GCl at all the concentrations tested. In conclusion, the PKC-induced lowering of GCl is counteracted by IGF-1 through an okadaic acid sensitive phosphatase, and this effect can have therapeutic relevance in situations characterized by excessive channel phosphorylation. In turn the phosphorylation state of the channel can modulate the effects and the therapeutic potential of direct channel ligands. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
