Results. DEX suppressed the amplitude of delayed rectifier K current [IK(DR)] in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 4.6 mM in NG108-15 cells. No change in the steady-state inactivation of IK(DR) was evident in the presence of DEX. A minimal binding scheme was also used to evaluate DEX-induced block of IK(DR). Inhibition of IK(DR) by DEX was still observed in cells preincubated with yohimbine (10 mM) or efaroxan (10 mM). DEX depressed the peak amplitude of Na current (INa), whereas it had minimal effect on L-type Ca current. Under current-clamp configuration, DEX increased the duration of action potentials (APs). IK(DR) and INa in response to AP waveforms were more sensitive to block by DEX than those elicited during rectangular pulses. In isolated cerebellar granule cells, DEX also effectively suppressed IK(DR). Conclusions. The effects of DEX are not limited to its interactions with a2-adrenergic receptors. Inhibitory effects on IK(DR) and INa constitute one of the underlying mechanisms through which DEX and its structurally related compounds might affect neuronal activity in vivo.
