This study investigates the effect of decreased intracellular ATP concentration on the extracellular potassium ion concentration. It found that reduction in ATP concentration leads to an increase in extracellular potassium ion concentration, possibly due to the impairment of the Na/K ATPase pump and ATP-sensitive potassium channel.
Neuronal and glial activity are dependent on the efflux of potassium ions into the extracellular space. Efflux of K is partly energy-dependent as the activity of pumps and channels which are involved in K transportation is ATP-dependent. In this study, we investigated the effect of decreased intracellular ATP concentration ([ATP]i) on the extracellular potassium ion concentration ([K]o). Using in vivo electrophysiological techniques, we measured neocortical [K]o and the local field potential (LFP) while [ATP]i was reduced through various pharmacological interventions. We observed that reducing [ATP]i led to raised [K]o and DC-shifts resembling spreading depolarization-like events. We proposed that most likely, the increased [K]o is mainly due to the impairment of the Na/K ATPase pump and the ATP-sensitive potassium channel in the absence of sufficient ATP, because Na/K ATPase inhibition led to increased [K]o and ATP-sensitive potassium channel impairment resulted in decreased [K]o. Therefore, an important consequence of decreased [ATP]i is an increased [K]o. The results of this study acknowledge one of the mechanisms involved in [K]o dynamics.
