| Abstract | Persistent sodium channel activity was recorded before and during hypoxia from cell-attached and inside-out patches obtained from cultured hippocampal neurons at a pipette potential (V p) of +30 mV. Average mean current (I′) of these channels was very low under normoxic conditions and was similar in cell-attached and excised inside-out patches (-0.018 ± 0.010 and -0.025 ± 0.008 pA, respectively, n = 24). Hypoxia increased the activity of persistent sodium channels in 10 cell-attached patches (I’ increased from -0.026 ± 0.016 pA in control to -0.156 ± 0.034 pA during hypoxia, n = 4, P = 0.013). The increased persistent sodium channel activity was most prominent at a V P between +70 and +30 mV (membrane potential, V m = -70 to -30 mV) and could be blocked by lidocaine, TTX or R56865 (n = 5). Sodium cyanide (NaCN, 5 mM; 0.5-5 min) increased persistent sodium channel activity in cell-attached patches (n = 3) in a similar manner. Hypoxia also increased sodium channel activity in inside-out patches from hippocampal neurons. Within 2-4 min of exposure to hypoxia, I′ had increased 9-fold to -0.18 ± 0.04 pA (n = 21, P = 0.001). Sodium channel activity increased further with longer exposures to hypoxia. The hypoxia-induced sodium channel activity in inside-out patches could be inhibited by exposure to 10-100 μM lidocaine applied via the bath solution (I′ = -0.03 ± 0.01 pA, n = 8) or by perfusion of the pipette tip with 1 μM TTX (I′ = -0.01 ± 0.01 pA, n = 3). The reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT, 2-5 mM) rapidly abolished the increase in sodium channel activity caused by hypoxia in excised patches (I’ = -0.01 ± 0.01 pA, n = 4). Similarly, reduced glutathione (GSH, 5-20 mM) also reversed the hypoxia-induced increase in sodium channel activity (I’ = -0.02 ± 0.02 pA, n = 5). These results suggest that persistent sodium channels in neurons can sense O2 levels in excised patches of plasma membrane. Hypoxia triggers an increase in sodium channel activity. The redox reaction involved in increasing the sodium channel activity probably occurs in an auxiliary regulatory protein, co-localized in the plasma membrane. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
