Bipolar cells receive an input from gamma-aminobutyric acid ergic horizontal cells in distal retinas. gamma-Aminobutyric acid can induce either an inhibitory or an excitatory Cl(-) response based on the intracellular Cl(-) concentration in the bipolar dendrites. Two cation Cl(-) cotransporters, Na-K-2Cl(-) and K-2Cl(-), differently control local Cl(-) levels in neurons by uptaking or extracting Cl(-), respectively. By using immunocytochemical techniques, we found that Na-K-2Cl(-) and K-2Cl(-) were preferentially distributed in On-bipolar and Off-bipolar dendrites in goldfish retinas. Na-K-2Cl(-) was colocalized with protein kinase C in On-bipolar dendrites, whereas K-2Cl(-) was located in Off-bipolar dendrites, fully overlapping with ionotropic glutamate receptor GluR4. Possibly, an internal Cl(-) level is higher in the On-bipolar dendrites than in the Off-bipolar dendrites. gamma-Aminobutyric acid inputs in the distal retina might excite On-bipolar cells, but inhibit Off-bipolar cells.

D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
