Fig. 11. Effect of WIN 55,212-2 on the Na+ currents in the presence of an
inhibitor of PKC. (A) Representative example of time course of the current
signal. The currents were elicited by a pulse from a holding potential of
84 mV to a test potential of 24 mV. (B) Mean values of
Na+ current magnitudes before (white bar) and after superfusion
with 10 µmol l1 chelerythrine and 10 µmol
l1 WIN 55,212-2 (hatched bar). Numerals within parentheses
are number of the cells sampled. (C) Voltage dependence of activation.
V1/2=42.0 mV, k=6.1 mV for control
(open squares), V1/2=30.7 mV, k=8.0
mV for chelerythrine plus WIN 55,212-2 (filled circles). (D) Voltage
dependence of inactivation. V1/2=83.5 mV,
k=8.4 mV for control (open squares),
V1/2=103.8 mV, k=7.6 mV for chelerythrine
plus WIN 55,212-2 (filled circles). The values are mean ±
S.E.M. obtained from three cells.
