Abstract
Previous study shows volume-sensitive chloride currents are induced by hypotonicity in human cervical cancer cell lines, but not in normal cervical epithelium. To ascertain whether the preferential activation of these channels in cancer cell lines could be similarly and directly detected in cervical cancer tissues, we studied volume-sensitive chloride channels on the primary culture cells of invasive cervical carcinoma using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The process of regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was also studied using electronic cell sizing to measure cell volume. Results demonstrate that, in these cultured cells, RVD was mediated in part by chloride loss through the volume-sensitive Cl- channels. A small background current with a slope conductance of 0.32 +/- 0.07 nS/pF at +30 mV (n=60 cells from 10 different samples) was observed. Hypotonicity induced a fast activating and outward rectifying current which was reversed at about 0 mV, and the slope conductance at +30 mV was increased by 10-fold to 3.62 +/- 0.62 nS/pF. These effects were readily reversed by returning the cells to isotonic medium. Moreover, DIDS, NPPB, and 1,9-dideoxyforskolin, reversibly abolished the volume-sensitive Cl- currents. The EC50 require...Continue Reading
