Wang2008 - Mimicking the inhibitory effect of riluzole on membrane conductance in skeletal fibres
This model is described in the article:
Abstract:
Riluzole is known to be of therapeutic use in the management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of riluzole on ion currents in cultured differentiated human skeletal muscle cells (dHSkMCs). Western blotting revealed the protein expression of alpha-subunits for both large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK(Ca)) channel and Na+ channel (Na(v)1.5) in these cells. Riluzole could reduce the frequency of spontaneous beating in dHSkMCs. In whole-cell configuration, riluzole suppressed voltage-gated Na+ current (I(Na)) in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 2.3 microM. Riluzole (10 microM) also effectively increased Ca2+-activated K+ current (I(K(Ca))) which could be reversed by iberiotoxin (200 nM) and paxilline (1 microM), but not by apamin (200 nM). In inside-out patches, when applied to the inside of the cell membrane, riluzole (10 microM) increased BK(Ca)-channel activity with a decrease in mean closed time. Simulation studies also unraveled that both decreased conductance of I(Na) and increased conductance of I(K(Ca)) utilized to mimic riluzole actions in skeletal muscle cells could combine to decrease the amplitude of action potentials and increase the repolarization of action potentials. Taken together, inhibition of I(Na) and stimulation of BK(Ca)-channel activity caused by this drug are partly, if not entirely, responsible for its muscle relaxant actions in clinical setting.
