Reversible effect of depolarization by K-propionate on sub-miniature endplate potential to bell-miniature endplate potential ratios, on miniature endplate potential frequencies and amplitudes, and on synaptic vesicle diameters and densities in frog neurom

Abstract:

:Miniature endplate potentials were recorded from edge muscle fibers of frog sartorius muscles during high frequencies induced with K-propionate and during recovery. The identified neuromuscular junctions were studied with the electron microscope and their ultrastructure was correlated with amplitude and numbers of miniature endplate potentials generated. Miniature endplate potential amplitudes were maintained during the first 10 min of depolarization. They then decreased during the next 2-3 h until the mode was lost to the noise. Miniature endplate potential frequency was greatly increased during the first hour and there was initial depletion of vesicles. Miniature endplate potential frequencies remained high (5 x 10(5)/h) for 3 h but vesicle densities returned to nearly normal values during the second to third hour of treatment. The conspicuous infolding of the presynaptic membrane noted during the first hour of treatment suggests that recycling of vesicles is initially slower than fusion. Calculated recycling time is shorter than 25 min. During recovery after prolonged K-propionate treatment, the sub-miniature endplate potential class reappeared within minutes but about 20 min were required before it returned to control size. Subsequently, the bell-miniature endplate potentials reappeared and slowly increased in amplitude. The ultrastructure returned to a normal state. There was no change in vesicle diameters. No significant difference was found between the diameters of "touching vesicles" (vesicles touching the presynaptic membrane) and the non-touching vesicles. By comparison, lanthanum ions (1 mM) released a smaller number of quanta which did not exceed the number of vesicles present at the start of the experiment. Variations of the subunit hypothesis of the quantum of transmitter release are discussed.
