Fig. 2.
Effect of colchicine (disrupter of actin and
microtubules) on voltage-dependent Ca2+ current
[IBa(L)]. Current-voltage (I-V)
relationships were obtained for control (
,
n = 21) and after exposure to colchicine at 1 µM
(
, n = 14), 10 µM (
,
n = 14), and 100 µM (
,
n = 12). Data are expressed as means ± SE. As can
be seen, the voltage for maximum current was +10 mV. Inset:
current traces for control and after application of colchicine (100 µM). Cell capacitances were 59 pA (control cell) and 60 pA
(colchicine-treated cell). Em, membrane
potential.
