RESUMO
1. The ion channels on both the luminal and abluminal membranes of endocardial endothelial (EE) cells were separately recorded using the patch clamp technique in the guinea-pig heart. 2. The major population consisted of two types of non-selective cation channels, which showed open probabilities of 0.21 and 0.33 at the resting potential, and conductances of 36 and 11 pS, respectively. 3. The next major class was Cl- channels with an ohmic conductance of 409 pS. The channel was quiescent in the cell-attached mode but was activated by strong depolarization after excising the patch membrane. 4. The channels activated by intracellular Ca2+ were mainly K+ channels showing a 34 pS slope conductance and, less frequently, Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels having a large conductance (210 pS). The inward rectifier K+ channel (32 pS) was also observed. 5. The non-selective cation channels were recorded on the luminal membrane, but scarcely on the abluminal membrane, suggesting an active transport of K+ and Na+ across the endocardium. 6. The resting membrane conductance of the EE cells may be provided mostly by non-selective cation channels and 34 pS Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels.
