K+channel activation has been associated with growth or differentiation in many cells. We have previously identified a 70-pS K+channel that was found only in differentiated involucrin-positive cells. In this study we examined the role of K+channels in Ca2+-induced keratinocyte differentiation. Consistent with our previous report, we found that a K+conductance developed only in cells cultured in high extracellular Ca2+. Addition of charybdotoxin or verapamil blocked these K+channels and inhibited Ca2+-induced differentiation, as assessed by cornified envelope formation or transglutaminase activity. These results suggest that K+channel activation is necessary for Ca2+-induced differentiation. Finally, we used125I-labeled charybdotoxin to demonstrate the presence of K+channels in intact human and mouse epidermis, hair follicles, and eccrine glands, indicating that these channels are found in keratinocytes bothin vitroandin vivo. Thus K+channels may moderate Ca2+influx in more differentiated keratinocytes and may play a central role in keratinocyte differentiation.
