Stretch-activated non-selective cation currents (I-SAC) constitute a mechanism that can induce cardiac arrhythmias. We studied I-SAC in mouse ventricular myocytes by stretching part of the cell surface between the patch-pipette and a motor-driven glass stylus. In non-clamped cells, local stretch depolarised and induced after-depolarisations and extrasystoles. In voltage-clamped cells (K+ currents suppressed) I-SAC activated by local stretch had a nearly linear voltage dependence and reversed polarity between -12 and 0 mV. Conductance G(SAC) increased with the extent of local stretch. I-SAC was not a Cl- current (insensitivity to replacement of Cl- by aspartate). I-SAC was not a Ca2+-activated current (insensitivity to 5 mM intracellular BAPTA). G(SAC) was blocked by 5 muM GdCl3 or by 75 mM extracellular (e.c.) CaCl2. Removal of e.c. CaCl2 increased G(SAC) 2.5-fold, as if G(SAC) were sensitive to Ca2+ and Gd3+. Replacement of 150 mM e.c. Na+ by 150 mM Cs+, Li+, tetraethylammonium (TEA(+)) or N-methyl D-glucosamine (NMDG(+)) yielded currents that suggested for the conductance a selectivity G(Cs)>G(Na)>G(Li)>G(TEA)>G(NMDG). I-SAC was suppressed by cytochalasin D, as if an intact F-actin cytoskeleton were necessary for activation of I-SAC.
