Recent studies have suggested that acid-sensitive background K+channels such as TASK-1 and TASK-3, members of two-pore domain K+(K2P) channel family, express and contribute to extracellular acidification-induced responses in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. However, it has remained to address whether other acid-sensitive background K+channels are functionally expressed in DRG neurons. Here we characterized biophysical and pharmacological properties of a novel acid-sensitive background K+channel in DRG neurons isolated from neonatal rats. We recorded an 80-pS K+channel with a weak inward rectification current–voltage relationship in cell-attached patches in 150mM KCl bath solution. The 80-pS K+channel was inhibited by extracellular low pH (pHo6.3). Interestingly, the channel was similar to TASK-2 cloned from mouse and rat in biophysical and pharmacological properties. However, extracellular alkaline condition which activates TASK-2 channel, failed to activate the 80-pS K+channel. Lidocaine and quinine more inhibited the channel activity of 80-pS K+channel than that of TASK-2 channel. Our results suggest that the acid-sensitive 80-pS K+channels may regulate resting membrane potential and may play a critical role in various processes such as cell metabolism, pH, and pain sensation in DRG neurons.
