K+ currents of human T-lymphocytes are unaffected by Alzheimer's disease and amyloid beta protein.

Abstract:

:Alterations of Ca2+ homeostasis have been reported for both fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Considering the importance of K+ conductances for the cellular Ca2+ regulation and the recently reported absence of a K+ channel in Alzheimer fibroblasts, we investigated K+ currents in T-lymphocytes of patients with AD. In addition, the finding that amyloid beta protein affects the Ca2+ signal of T-lymphocytes and the function of K+ channels in fibroblasts prompted us to study a possible influence of amyloid beta protein fragments on K+ channels of T-lymphocytes. Our data, obtained by means of the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration on freshly isolated T-lymphocytes, indicate that K+ channels of these cells do not present any functional deficit in AD, and amyloid beta protein does not mediate an alteration of their currents.
