We used the patch-clamp technique to clarify the nature of ion channels in renal mesangial cells in culture. In the cell-attached mode most patches were silent in the absence of agonists. In some patches a 25-pS nonselective channel was observed. This 25-pS cation channel was consistently observed in inside-out patches, and it was activated by intracellular Ca2+. Excised patch experiments also revealed the existence of a 40-pS K+ channel, which was activated by intracellular Ca2+. This 40-pS K+ channel was observed infrequently in the cell-attached mode. The activities of both channels were increased by arginine vasopressin or angiotensin II, resulting from an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
