L&#39;ovocita vaselina tensione gap clamp cut-open consente una rapida risoluzione dei dati, a basso rumore, aumentato il controllo sulla soluzione interna e la composizione soluzione esterna, e registrazioni stabili nel relativamente lunghi protocolli 19. Questi vantaggi impostate questa tecnica a parte il voltage clamp a due elettrodi standard e le tecniche di patch clamp. Sebbene attrezzature specializzate è necessaria e il protocollo è relativamente difficile, molto pochi problemi si verificano quando i...

Tecniche tensione di serraggio specializzati permettono la registrazione di correnti ioniche a potenziali di membrana controllate. Ampiamente usato voltage clamp a due elettrodi (TEVC) e tecniche di patch clamp forniscono informazioni elettrofisiologiche attendibili sulle proprietà di molti canali ionici. Tuttavia, entrambi questi metodi hanno inconvenienti che impediscono l&#39;acquisizione di dati affidabili per i canali del sodio voltaggio-dipendenti veloci e altri canali attivanti veloce nelle membrane come quelle di ovociti di Xenopus. I laboratori Bezanilla e Stefani quindi sviluppato la tecnica del clamp di tensione gap vaselina cut-open (COVG) per ovociti 2. La tecnica è stata ampiamente applicata per registrare, Na +, K + e Ca 2 + canali 3-8. Durante la registrazione COVG, una membrana dell&#39;oocita-proteina eterologa esprimere è diviso in tre regioni. I dati corrente ionica viene registrata dalla regione superiore del ovocita comebagno circonda la regione superiore è fissata ad un potenziale di comando, che può essere cambiata facilmente e rapidamente. Le guardie regione del Medio contro le correnti di dispersione di essere bloccato allo stesso potenziale come la regione top 9. La regione inferiore è dove apertura ovocita (cut-open) avviene mediante l&#39;utilizzo di una soluzione di saponina o una cannula. Chimica o apertura manuale della membrana nella regione inferiore permette il controllo del potenziale interno, che viene fissato al terreno, e rende l&#39;interno della cellula contigua con la soluzione camera inferiore. Perfusione di soluzioni nella camera inferiore può regolare le proprietà dell&#39;ambiente interno, mentre lo scambio di soluzione nella camera superiore altera l&#39;ambiente esterno. <img alt="Figura 1" fo:content-width="5in" fo:src="/files/ftp_upload/51040/51040fig1highres.jpg" src="/files/ftp_upload/51040/51040fig1.jpg" width="500px" /> Figura 1.

I vantaggi della tecnica COVG includono basso rumore corrente (1 nA a 3 kHz), il controllo della composizione ionica del supporto esterno, la capacità di modulare il supporto interno, risoluzione temporale veloce (20-100 costante msec tempo di decadimento della capacità transitorio), e le registrazioni stabili per diverse ore 9. Gli svantaggi sono che richiede attrezzature specializzate ed è più difficile da eseguire rispetto a due serraggio tensione elettrodo (TEVC) 10. Mentre l&#39;approccio COVG richiede attrezzature altamente specializzate e elementi procedurali complessi, può consentire l&#39;acquisizione di Valudati elettrofisiologici grado. Questi dati, come gating correnti con cinetica veloce e correnti di coda 4, può essere registrata senza alcuni dei problemi associati con altri protocolli tensione di chiusura comprese canale run-down. Piccole modifiche alla configurazione COVG possono consentire l&#39;uso di regolatori di temperatura e morsetto di tensione fluorometria (VCF). L&#39;inclusione di tensione morsetto elementi fluorometria all&#39;interno dell&#39;assembly COVG può aumentare output di dati conferendo la possibilità di monitorare cambiamenti conformazionali proteiche e contemporaneamente la registrazione corrente 11-13.

the xenopus oocyte cut-open vaseline gap voltage-clamp technique with fluorometry

L&#39;ovocita vaselina gap cut-open (COVG) clamp di tensione permette l&#39;analisi delle proprietà elettrofisiologiche e cinetiche dei canali ionici eterologa in oociti. Registrazioni dalla configurazione cut-open sono particolarmente utili per risolvere basse correnti di magnitudo gating, rapida attivazione corrente ionica e disattivazione. I principali vantaggi rispetto al morsetto di tensione a due elettrodi (TEVC) tecnica includono maggiore velocità morsetto, miglior rapporto segnale-rumore, e la capacità di modulare la intracellulare ed extracellulare. Qui, impieghiamo canale del sodio cardiaco umano (HNA 1,5 V), espresso in oociti di Xenopus, per dimostrare la configurazione e protocollo cut-open nonché modifiche necessarie per aggiungere capacità fluorometria morsetto di tensione. Le proprietà dei canali ionici veloci attivanti, come HNA 1,5 V, non possono essere completamente risolti a temperatura ambiente usando TEVC, in which la totalità della membrana dell&#39;oocita è serrato, rendendo difficile il controllo della tensione. Tuttavia, nella tecnica cut-aperto, separazione di solo una piccola porzione della membrana cellulare consente il bloccaggio rapido necessaria per registrare accuratamente cinetica veloce evitando canale run-down associato a tecniche di patch clamp. In concomitanza con la tecnica COVG, cinetica del canale ionico e proprietà elettrofisiologiche possono essere ulteriormente analizzati mediante morsetto fluorometria tensione, in cui il movimento proteina viene monitorato tramite cisteina coniugazione di fluorofori applicate extracellulare, inserimento di proteine ​​fluorescenti geneticamente codificati, o l&#39;incorporazione di amminoacidi non naturali nella regione di interesse 1. Questi dati aggiuntivi produce informazioni cinetiche su voltaggio-dipendenti riarrangiamenti conformazionali della proteina attraverso cambiamenti nel microambiente circostante la molecola fluorescente.

Figura 4 mostra la variazione di permeabilità del ovocita come soluzione saponina viene applicata alla parte inferiore della ovocita. Figura 5 mostra il tasso di conversione soluzione intracellulare per diffusione seguente permeabilizzazione saponina. 20-40 min sono tenuti a venire a uno stato stazionario 2,18. Figura 6A mostra tracce generate dal protocollo di registrazione. La figura mostra correnti ioniche (dopo P/-8 perdita s...
