The Na (+) -K (+) pump current (I-p) and the h-current (I-h) flowing through hyperpolarization-activated channels (h-channels) participate in generating the resting potential. These two currents are thought to be produced independently. We show here bidirectional interactions between Na (+)-K (+) pumps and h-channels in mesencephalic trigeminal neurons. Activation of I-h leads to the generation of two types of ouabain-sensitive I-p with temporal profiles similar to those of instantaneous and slow components of I-h, presumably reflecting Na (+) transients in a restricted cellular space. Moreover, the Ip activated by instantaneous Ih can facilitate the subsequent activation of slow I-h. Such counteractive and cooperative interactions were also disclosed by replacing extracellular Na (+) with Li (+), which is permeant through h-channels but does not stimulate the Na (+) -K (+) pump as strongly as Na (+) ions. These observations indicate that the interactions are bidirectional and mediated by Na (+) ions. Also after substitution of extracellular Na (+) with Li (+), the tail I-h was reduced markedly despite an enhancement of Ih itself, attributable to a negative shift of the reversal potential for Ih presumably caused by intracellular accumulation of Li (+) ions. This suggests the presence of a microdomain where the interactions can take place. Thus, the bidirectional interactions between Na (+) -K (+) pumps and h-channels are likely to be mediated by Na (+) microdomain. Consistent with these findings, hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-modulated subunits (HCN1/2) and the Na (+) -K (+) pump alpha3 isoform were colocalized in plasma membrane of mesencephalic trigeminal neurons having numerous spines.
