SPONTANEOUS TRANSIENT OUTWARD CURRENTS
IN SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS OF THE RAT TAIL ARTERY
Spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) were studied in the rat tail artery
smooth muscle cells using standard patch-clamp recording techniques in the wholecell
configuration. STOCs evoked by membrane depolarization from .30 to 20 mV
varied in size from 50 to 1000 pA, their amplitude increased with membrane
depolarization. These currents were inhibited by 1 mM TEA+. Both the frequency
and the transferred charge (Q) were decreased in the absence of the extracellular
Ca2+ or in the presence of the selective blocker of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels
nifedipine. Application of caffeine at 1 mM increased both Q and the frequency of
STOCs generation. These results indicate that STOCs are carried by large conductance
Ca2+-dependent K+ channels and Ca2+ influx plays an important role in their activation.
