This study examines developmental changes in CB glomus cell depolarization, intracellular calcium ([Ca2+](i)) and the magnitude of an O-2-sensitive background ionic conductance that may play roles in the postnatal increase in oxygen sensitivity of glomus cells isolated from rats of 1-3 days and 11-14 days postnatal age. Using fura-2 and perforated patch whole cell recordings, we simultaneously measured [Ca2+](i) and membrane potential (E-m) during normoxia and hypoxia. Resting E. in normoxia was similar at both ages. Hypoxia caused a larger E-m depolarization and Correspondingly larger [Ca2+](i) response in glomus cells from 11- to 14-day-old rats compared to 1-3-day-old rats. E-m and [Ca2+](i) responses to 40 mM K+ were identical between the two age groups. Under normoxic conditions both age groups had similar background conductances. Under anoxic conditions (at resting membrane potential) background K+ conductance decreased significantly more in cells from 11- to 14-day-old rats compared to cells from 1- to 3-day-old rats. Glomus cells from newborns therefore have less O-2-sensitive background K+ conductance. These results support the hypothesis that postnatal maturation of glomus cell O-2 sensitivity involves developmental regulation of the expression and/or O-2-sensitivity of background ionic conductances.
