2. Figure 1
A channel recording demonstrating the effect of 10μM PGE2 on the basolateral 50pS K channels. The experiment was performed on a cell-attached patch and the holding potential was −20mV (depolarization). The channel close level is indicated by a dotted line and C. Two parts of the record indicated by numbers are extended to show the fast time resolution.

A channel recording showing the effect of 10μM sulprostone on the basolateral 50pS K channels. The experiment was performed on a cell-attached patch and the holding potential was 0mV. The channel close level is indicated by a dotted line and C. Two parts of the record indicated by numbers are extended to show the fast time resolution.

A channel recording demonstrating the effect of 10μM PGE2 on the basolateral 50pS K channels in the absence and presence of 300nM calphostin-C. The experiment was performed on a cell-attached patch and the holding potential was 0mV. The channel close level is indicated by a dotted line and C. Three parts of the record indicated by numbers are extended to show the fast time resolution.

A channel recording demonstrating the effect of PD98059 (50μM) and 10μM PGE2+PD98059 on the basolateral 50pS K channels in the TAL. The experiment was performed on a cell-attached patch and the holding potential was −10mV (depolarization). The channel close level is indicated by a dotted line and C. Three parts of the record indicated by numbers are extended to show the fast time resolution.

8. Figure 7
Effect of 10μM PGE2 on the basolateral 50pS K channels in the TAL treated with PD98059, SB or both agents. The experiments were performed on cell-attached patches. The asterisk indicates the significant difference between the MAPK inhibitor and the corresponding control. # Indicates a significant difference between the PD group and PD+PGE2 group or between the SB and SB+PGE2 group.

Effect of PGE2 on the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK. Western blots show the effect of 10μM PGE2 on the phosphorylation of p38 (a) and ERK (b) in the presence or absence of 10μM indomethacin. Data are summarized in a bar graph (bottom panel). The asterisk indicates a significant difference in comparison with the control.
