Abstract：
:The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of calcium in K+ currents and its effects on amino acid accumulation and on the membrane potential regulated by tri-iodo-L-thyronine (T3) in Sertoli cells. Immature rat testes were pre-incubated for 30 min in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer and incubated for 60 min in the presence of [14C]methylaminoisobutyric acid with and without T3 or T4 (dose-response curve). Specific channel blockers or chelating agents were added at different concentrations during pre-incubation and incubation periods to study the basal amino acid accumulation and a selected concentration of each drug was chosen to analyze the influence on the stimulatory hormone action. All amino acid accumulation experiments were carried out in a Dubnoff metabolic incubator at 32 degrees C, pH 7.4 and gassed with O2:CO2 (95:5; v/v). Seminiferous tubules from immature Sertoli cell-enriched testes were used for the electrophysiology experiments. Intracellular recording of the Sertoli cells was carried out in a chamber perfused with KRb with/without T3, T4 or blockers and the membrane potential was monitored. We found that T3 and T4 stimulated alpha-[1-14C] methylaminoisobutyric acid accumulation in immature rat testes and induced a membrane hyperpolarization in Sertoli cells. The action of T3 on amino acid accumulation and on the hyperpolarizing effect was inhibited by the K(+)-ATP channel blocker tolbutamide as well as the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker verapamil. These results clearly demonstrate for the first time the existence of an ionic mechanism related to Ca2+ and K+ fluxes in the rapid, nongenomic action of T3.
