Lambert-Eaton syndrome (LES) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an insufficient release of cholinergic neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction.’,’Nearly 60% of LES patients have concurrent small-cell lung cancer. The LES animal passive transfer studies,’freeze-fracture analysis of LES motor nerve terminal, 3 and patch-clamp studies of the pathogenic action of the autoantibodie~~.~ provided convincing evidence that the autoantibodies from LES cross-react with voltage-dependent calcium channels in the presynaptic membrane. Bovine adrenal chromaffin (BAC) cells are widely used as a model of sympathetic neurons and have recently been shown to possess two types of Caz+ channels. 6 The aim of the present work has been to investigate the specificity of LES IgG on the two types of Ca2+ channels in BAC cells.BAC cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium with 15% heat-inactivated horse serum at 5% COz and 95% air. The dihydropyridine (DHP) antagonist nicardipine was first dissolved in 100% ethanol, and the solution was diluted with distilled water before adding to the cells. Lyophilized o-conotoxin GVIA (o-CgTx) was dissolved in 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin to make a 10 pM stock. Utilizing patch-clamp techniques, whole-cell calcium current (Ica) was elicited from a holding potential (V,) of-90 mV. The pipette contained (in mM) CaCl, 3, MgCl, 2, CsOHIHEPES 100, and EGTA 30 (pH= 7.2); and the external solution was composed of (mM) CaC1, 5, MgC1, 2, TEA-C1 10, HEPES 10, and Tris-trichloroacetate 110 (pH= 7.4). First we identified the two types of CaZ+ channels in BAC cells based on inactivation kinetics and pharmacology. Results are summarized as follows.(1) I,, inactivated with an initial transient described by a time constant (7;) of 169-+ 28 msec (n= 14 cells) followed by a long inactivating component, T,= 1393 2 129 ms (n= 14). FIGURE 1A shows a Ca2+ current trace and its components (solid lines) based on T, and Tf for a depolarization to+ 20 mV. Ica obtained at various external Ca2+ concentrations (5, 2, 0.8, and 0.4 rnM) had similar 7, and rf.(2) Ten micromolar nicardipine reduced steady-state Ica (measured at the end of 2 s) by 81.5-C 4.7%(n= ll), and the remaining component decayed with a single exponential, T= 280+-22 ms (n= 1 l), similar to the T~ of normal untreated cells (FIGURES 1B and 2). After nicardipine, I,, in most cells could
