| Description: | The coverslip plated with cells was placed in the experiment chamber perfused with bath solution composed of (in mM): 135 NaCl, 5 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 5 Glucose (pH 7.4). Patch pipettes with resistance between 2-5 Megaohms, when filled with a solution containing (in mM): 135 KCl, 1 EGTA, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 2 Na2ATP (pH 7.3), were used to form gigaseals. The cells were voltage clamped at −75 mV in whole-cell configuration using an Axopatch 200b or Multiclamp 700b (Molecular Devices) amplifier controlled by pClamp Software (Molecular Devices). The current was recorded by applying a voltage step to −120 mV every 10 seconds. For each compound, 4-6 concentrations were applied for 3-8 minutes in a successive manner starting with the lowest concentration. At the end of the experiment, the cells were perfused with bath solution containing 2 mM Ba2+ to isolate the contribution of hROMK current. |
