摘要
AIM: To study the mechanism of calcium overload induced by melittin in myocytes. METHODS: Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was applied for recording the currents. RESULTS: Mel 0.05, 0.1 μmol/L increased the peak amplitude of INa (nA) from -2.1 ± 0.8 to -3.2±1.0 (n = 7, P < 0.05) and -3.7±1.5 (n = 7, P < 0.05) respectively at testing potential of -40 mV. Mel 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μmol/L had no significant effect on ICa, but enhanced INa-Ca(pA) from 53±21 to 427±256 (n = 5, P< 0.05), 349±147 (n = 5, P < 0.01) and 320±97 (n = 5, P < 0.05) respectively at a testing potential of +50 mV. CONCLUSION: The stimulating effect of Mel on INa-Ca rather than the effect on ICa contributes to the calcium overload of myocytes.
