NO-mediated suppression of KCC2 requires intracellular cGMP and Zinc. (A) KCC2 activity was monitored with the pH-sensitive dye BCECF in SHSY-5Y cells that express endogenous KCC2. Cells were incubated for 5 min with K+ free extracellular solution, and the rate of intracellular pH change following application of NH4Cl (5 mM) was monitored (see Materials and Methods). (A,B) Plots of NH+4- mediated acidification rates (mean ± s.e.m.) in control, treated with NO, NO+ODQ, NO+TPEN, or ODQ+TPEN+furosemide. Significance was assessed using a One-Way ANOVA. Ns are given in the bars. ***p ≤ 0.001.
