Glycine response in acutely dissociated ventromedial hypothalamic neuron of the rat: new approach with gramicidin perforated patch-clamp technique.

Abstract:

:1. We investigated the glycine-induced response in ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) neurons freshly dissociated from 8- to 12-day-old rats using the nystatin and gramicidin perforated patch recording modes. The nystatin-formed pores in the plasma membrane are permeable for both monovalent cations and anions, whereas those formed by gramicidin are permeable only to monovalent cations. Therefore, when the patch-pipette contains 150 mM Cl- and gramicidin, the physiological intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]i) is undisturbed in the cell-attached condition of the pipette. 2. At holding potentials of -40 to -60 mV, glycine induced inward currents and outward currents in the nystatin and gramicidin perforated patch recording modes, respectively. The values of the half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) and the Hill coefficient in the concentration-response relationships of the glycine responses were 2.9 x 10(-5) M, 1.1, and 4.2 x 10(-5) M, 1.4, respectively. These values were quite similar in both recording modes. 3. The reversal potentials of the glycine responses (EGly) were -1.5 mV in the nystatin perforated patch recording and -75.0 to -24.8 mV in the gramicidin perforated patch recording. 4. Strychnine (3 x 10(-8) M) inhibited the glycine-induced outward currents in a competitive manner and the half-inhibition concentration (IC50) of strychnine on the 10(-4) M glycine-induced response was 1.9 x 10(-8) M. 5. The physiological [Cl-]i in the VMH neurons calculated from the EGly obtained by the gramicidin perforated patch mode ranged from 6.0 to 43.8 mM (n = 28).
