OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ketamine on the transient outward potassium currents [IA] using whole-cell patch clamp technique. METHODS Pyramidal neurons were enzymatically isolated from Wistar rat hippocampus. The effect of ketamine on the [IA] was assessed using whole-cell patch clamp technique. Different concentrations of ketamine were added and potassium currents were measured. RESULTS [IA] was inhibited by ketamine in a concentration-dependent manner. 10 micromol/L ketamine had no effect on [IA]. The four concentrations of ketamine (30, 100, 300, 1000 micromol/L) reduced peak [IA] currents by (11+/-2)%, (22+/-3)%, (45+/-5)%, (53+/-5)% respectively, with a mean IC50 of (130+/-24) micromol/L and Hill coefficient of 1.19+/-0.56. The V1/2 of activation curve was shifted from (-8.70+/-0.13) mV to (-11.2+/-2.10) mV (n=8, P<0.05). The V1/2 of inactivation curve was shifted from (-75.53+/-7.98) mV to (-91.94+/-11.85) mV (n=8, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ketamine produces significant inhibition of potassium currents in the central neurons, which may least partly explain at the action of ketamine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007649 Ketamine A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors. 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone,CI-581,Calipsol,Calypsol,Kalipsol,Ketalar,Ketamine Hydrochloride,Ketanest,Ketaset,CI 581,CI581
D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D018408 Patch-Clamp Techniques An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.
