Over-activation of certain K+ channels can mediate intracellular K+ depletion, which is an early ionic event in apoptotic cascade. The present investigation examined a possible role of the KCNQ2/3 channel or M-channel (also named Kv7.2/7.3 channels) in the pro-apoptotic process. Whole-cell recordings detected significantly greater M-currents (212 ± 31 pA or 10.5 ± 1.5 pA/pF) in cultured hippocampal neurons than in cultured cortical neurons (47 ± 21 pA or 2.4 ± 0.8 pA/pF). KCNQ2/3 channel openers N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and flupirtine caused dose-dependent K+ efflux, intracellular K+ depletion, and cell death in hippocampal cultures while little cell death was induced by NEM in cortical cultures. The NEM-induced cell death was antagonized by co-applied KCNQ channel inhibitor XE991 (10 μM), or by elevated extracellular potassium. Supporting a mediating role in apoptosis, expression of KCNQ2 or KCNQ2/3 channels in CHO cells initiated caspase-3 activation. Consistently, application of NEM (20 μM) in hippocampal cultures similarly caused caspase-3 activation. NEM increased the expression of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization, cytochrome c release, formation of apoptosome complex, and AIF translocation into the nucleus. All these events were attenuated by blocking KCNQ2/3 channels. These findings provide novel evidence that KCNQ2/3 channels could be an important regulator in neuronal apoptosis.
