GABA applied by iontophoresis produced GABA-induced currents (GCs) and GABA-induced depolarizations (GDs) which were recorded intracellularly from cat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Lowering the temperature (37 to 27 degrees C) of the preparation depressed the amplitude of GCs while prolonging their rise-time and decay time. This depressant action was mainly due to a hyperpolarizing shift in the GABA equilibrium potential (EGABA). GABA responses could also be depressed by alkalinization of the superfusion solution or addition of putative chloride pump inhibitors, e.g. SITS, furosemide or bumetanide. However, the mechanism by which these latter procedures depressed GABA responses was not due to a shift in EGABA as occurred with lowered temperature. Instead we suggest that alkalinization or the putative chloride pump inhibitors affect the chloride channel or some other site associated with the GABA receptor complex and cause the depression we observed. GABA responses could be facilitated by lowering the pH of the superfusion solution or by injecting ammonium ion into a DRG. These results suggest that a temperature-sensitive, inwardly directed chloride pump that is resistant to SITS, furosemide or bumetanide, operates in cat DRG.
