| Abstract | The aim of this study was to identify and study the properties of a bupivacaine-sensitive potassium current in the plasma membrane of cultured neurons of the rat brain hippocampus. A neuroglial cell culture used in the work was obtained from the brain hippocampus of Wistar rats aged 1–3 days. The neuronal activity was recorded after 10–14 days of culturing. Bupivacaine-sensitive potassium current and the membrane potential (MP) of the analyzed neurons were recorded by the perforated patch-clamp technique. Neurons were identified visually by their morphology, as well as by the pattern of their electrical activity upon depolarizing shifts of the MP. The identified potassium currents were blocked by the application of local anesthetic bupivacaine and non-selective blocker of potassium channels barium and had a reversal potential close to the equilibrium potential for K$^{+}$. Effects of bupivacaine were fully prevented by Ba$^{2+}$, while bupivacaine did not completely block the Ba$^{2+}$ effects, suggesting that bupivacaine affected only a fraction of the Ba$^{2+}$-blockable membrane channels. Lowering the extracellular pH from 7.4 to 6.3 resulted in an inhibition of the identified potassium current, similarly to the effect of bupivacaine, whereas an increase in the extracellular pH up to 8.2 led to the current augmentation. Current-voltage characteristics for bupivacaine-sensitive potassium current was obtained; at a hyperpolarizing shift of MP to–120 mV the current amplitude was–33 ± 6 pA. The obtained results testify that the properties of bupivacaine-sensitive potassium current in the 10–14-day cultured hippocampal neurons correspond to those of the background 2P potassium channels of the TASK subfamily. |

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.
