Activation of Ca2+-Dependent K+ Channels Contributes to Rhythmic Firing of Action Potentials in Mouse Pancreatic β Cells
Open accessAbstract
We have applied the perforated patch whole-cell technique to β cells within intact pancreatic islets to identify the current underlying the glucose-induced rhythmic firing of action potentials. Trains of depolarizations (to simulate glucose-induced electrical activity) resulted in the gradual (time constant: 2.3 s) development of a small (<0.8 nS) K+ conductance. The current was dependent on Ca2+ influx but unaffected by apamin and charybdotoxin, two blockers of Ca2+-activated K+ channels, and was insensitive to tolbutamide (a blocker of ATP-regulated K+ channels) but partially (>60%) blocked by high (10–20 mM) concentrations of tetraethylammonium. Upon cessation of electrical stimulation, the current deactivated exponentially with a time constant of 6.5 s. This is similar to the interval between two successive bursts of action potentials. We propose that this Ca2+-activated K+ current plays an important role in the generation of oscillatory electrical activity in the β cell.

“The existence of a KATP channel-independent component of Kslow (contributed by SK channels) might explain the paradox that slow waves persist in islets of SUR1 knockout mice, which lack functional KATP channels (157, 223).”

In the citing paper
“The reduced exocytotic capacity of β-cells in intact islets is likewise not the consequence of reduced Ca2+ entry: if anything, the Ca2+ channel density is greater in β-cells in intact islets (223).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
