In this study, we observed that depolarization of SH-SY5Y
cells leads to an increase in T1 and T2 and a decrease in
pool size ratio (PSR). Contrarily, when SH-SY5Y cells were hyperpolarized, T1
and T2 decreased and PSR increased.
Figure 2. The relative changes in T1 and
the corresponding membrane potentials. The dotted black lines in each plot
represent the normal condition. (a): Relative T1 changes and the
membrane potentials when those are altered by [K+]. (b): Relative T1
changes and the membrane potentials when those are altered by [Ba2+].
(c): Relative T1 changes in (a) and (b) are illustrated on the same
plot using the abscissa of membrane potentials.
Figure 3. The relative
changes in T2 and the corresponding membrane potentials. The dotted
black lines in each plot represent the normal condition. (a): Relative T2
changes and the membrane potentials when those are altered by [K+].
(b): Relative T2 changes and the membrane potentials when those are
altered by [Ba2+]. (c): Relative T2 changes in (a) and (b)
are illustrated on the same plot using the abscissa of membrane potentials.
