Abstract:
:Retinal Müller cells are highly permeable to potassium as a consequence of their intrinsic membrane properties. Therefore these cells are able to play an important role in maintaining potassium homeostasis in the vertebrate retina during light-induced neuronal activity. Polyamines and other factors present in Müller cells have the potential to modulate the rectifying properties of potassium channels and alter the Müller cells capacity to siphon potassium from the extracellular space. In this study, the properties of potassium currents in turtle Müller cells were investigated using whole cell voltage-clamp recordings from isolated cells. Overall, the currents were inwardly rectifying. Depolarization elicited an outward current characterized by a fast transient that slowly recovered to a steady level along a double exponential time course. On hyperpolarization the evoked inward current was characterized by an instantaneous onset (or step) followed by a slowly developing sustained inward current. The kinetics of the time-dependent components (block of the transient outward current and slowly developing inward current) were dependent on holding potential and changes in the intracellular levels of magnesium ions and polyamines. In contrast, the instantaneous inward and the sustained outward currents were ohmic in character and remained relatively unaltered with changes in holding potential and concentration of applied spermine (0.5--2 mM). Our data suggest that cellular regulation in vivo of polyamine levels can differentially alter specific aspects of potassium siphoning by Müller cells in the turtle retina by modulating potassium channel function.
