Dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium currents (ICa) in photoreceptors are unusual in that they can be inhibited by reductions in extracellular chloride. The present study examined whether ICain retinal bipolar cells, which as in photoreceptors mediates sustained neurotransmission, is also inhibited by reductions in chloride. Nystatin-perforated patch, whole cell recordings were obtained from bipolar cells in a retinal slice preparation of larval tiger salamander. In the presence of Ba2+, voltage steps above −40 mV evoked sustained inward currents, which were enhanced by the dihydropyridine, (−)BayK8644, and inhibited by nisoldipine. Similar to photoreceptors, replacing Cl−with gluconate or CH3SO4inhibited bipolar cell ICaand produced a negative shift in the current/voltage relationship. Thus, sensitivity to Cl−may be a more general property of L-type Ca2+channel subtypes that mediate sustained neurotransmission.
