Abstract: Objective: To explore the effect of A-type potassium channels on the proliferation of Tca8113 cells. Methods: The whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record and analyze the inhibitory effect of 4-AP on A-type K+ current in Tca8113 cells, and MTT tests were used to test the inhibitory effect of 4-AP on cell proliferation in vitro. Results: Under the concentration of 2 mmol/L 4-AP, the peak of A type K+ current was decreased from (267.04±13.84)pA to (124.81 ±5.24)pA. The different concentrations of 4-AP could inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cells, and the magnitude of inhibitive effect was concentrations and reaction time dependent. Conclusion: The A-type of K+ channels play a role in the process of Tca8113 cell proliferation, and the blocker of A-type K+ channel can inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cells.
