Lidocaine hydrochloride (LC-HCl) is widely used as a local anesthetic, while various adverse effects of LC-HCl, such as seizures have also been reported. Lidocaine is reported to inhibit various channels and receptors including GABA(A) receptors. Although the GABA(A) receptor-mediated response depends on Cl- equilibrium potential (E-Cl), little is known about the effect of LC-HCl on E-Cl. In the present study, we investigated the effect of LC-HCl on GABA-induced currents in cultured rat hippocampal neurons with gramicidin-perforated patch-clamp recording which is known to keep the intracellular Cl- concentration intact. LC-HCl inhibited outward GABA-induced currents with depolarizing shift of the GABA reversal potential (E-GABA). The LC-HCl-induced positive E-GABA shift was not observed with conventional whole-cell patch-clamp method which cannot retain intact intracellular Cl- concentration. The LC-HCl action on E-GABA was inhibited by either furosemide, a blocker of both Na+-K+Cl- cotransporter (NKCC) and K+-Cl- cotransporter (K-CC), or an increase in extracellular K+ concentrations. Neither bumetanide, a specific inhibitor of NKCC, nor Na+-free external solution had any effect on the LC-HCl-induced E-GABA shift. QX-314, a membrane impermeable lidocaine derivative, failed to shift E-GABA to positive potential. Furthermore, LC-HCl caused a depolarizing shift of E-GABA in cultured GT1-7 cells expressing KCC2 but failed to change E-GABA in GT1-7 cells without expression of KCC2. These results suggest that the LC-HCl-induced positive E-GABA shift is due to a blockade of KCC2. Together with the direct LC-HCl action to GABA(A) receptors, the positive E-GABA shift induced by LC-HCl reduces the GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
