title: [Effect of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta on K+ channels of mice bone marrow stromal cells].
abstract: In the present study, both cell-attached and inside-out mode of patch clamp technique were applied to detect the effect of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) on K+ channels of mice bone marrow stromal cells. A 16.7 pS voltage-dependent K+ channel resembling the delayed rectifier K+ channel in excitable cells was identified and characterized. Under stimulation of IL-1 beta (1000 U/ml), the single channel conductance increased to 26.1 +/- 3.6 pS (P < 0.01). IL-1 beta also markedly increased the open time constant and the open probability, but decreased the closed time constant as compared to the same patches without IL-1 beta. In addition, IL-1 beta induced multi-channel activities in about 80 percent patches by inducing more K+ channels of the same type open. These results suggest that activation of K+ channels plays a role in signal transduction of interleukin-1.
