| Abstract | Neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells (NG108-15) in suspension accumulate the permeant lipophilic cation [3H]tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) against a concentration gradient. The steady-state level of TPP+ accumulation is about twice as great in physiological media of low K+ concentration (i.e., 5 mM K+/135 mM Na+) than in a medium of high K+ concentration (i.e., 121 mM K+/13.5 mM Na+). The latter manipulation depolarizes the NG108-15 plasma membrane and indicates that the resting membrane potential (ΔΨ) is due primarily to a K+ diffusion gradient (Kin + → Kout +). TPP+ accumulation is time and temperature dependent, achieving a steady state in 15-20 min at 37°C, and is a linear function of cell number and TPP+ concentration (i.e., the concentration gradient is constant). The difference in TPP+ accumulation in low and high K+ media under various conditions has been used to calculate mean (±SD) ΔΨ values of -56 ± 3, -63 ± 4, and -66 ± 5 mV at 26, 33, and 37°C, respectively. Importantly, these values are virtually identical to those obtained by direct electrophysiological measurements made under the same conditions. TPP+ accumulation is abolished by the protonophore carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, whereas the neurotoxic alkaloid veratridine diminishes uptake to the same level as that observed in high K+ media. In addition, the effect of veratridine is dependent upon the presence of external Na+ and is blocked by tetrodotoxin. The steady-state level of TPP+ accumulation is enhanced by monensin, indicating that this ionophore induces hyperpolarization under appropriate conditions. Finally, ouabain has essentially no effect on the steady-state level of TPP+ accumulation in short-term experiments, suggesting that Na+,K+-ATPase activity makes little contribution to the resting potential in these cells. Because many of these observations are corroborated by intracellular recording techniques, it is concluded that TPP+ distribution measurements can provide a biochemical method for determining membrane potentials in populations of cultured neuronal cells. |

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.
