Abstract
Whole-cell patch-clamp analysis revealed a resting membrane potential of -60 mV in primary osteoblasts and in the MG-63 osteoblast-like cells. Depolarization-induced action potentials were characterized by duration of 60 ms, a minimal peak-to-peak distance of 180 ms, a threshold value of -20 mV and a repolarization between the spikes to -45 mV. Expressed channels were characterized by application of voltage pulses between -150 mV and 90 mV in 10 mV steps, from a holding potential of -40 mV. Voltages below -60 mV induced an inward current. Depolarizing voltages above -30 mV evoked two currents: (a) a fast activated and inactivated inward current at voltages between -30 and 30 mV, and (b) a delayed-activated outward current that was induced by voltages above -30 mV. Electrophysiological and pharmacological parameters indicated that hyperpolarization activated strongly rectifying K + (K ir) channels, whereas depolarization activated tetrodotoxin sensitive voltage gated Na + (Na v) channels as well as delayed, slowly activated, non-inactivating, and tetraethylammonium sensitive voltage gated K + (K v) channels. In addition, RT-PCR showed expression of Na v1.3, Na v1.4, Na v1.5, Na v1.6, Na v1.7, and K ir2.1, K ir2.3, and K ir2.4 as well as K v2.1. We conclude that osteoblasts express channels that allow firing of action potentials.
