Cell cycle‐dependent expression of potassium channels and cell proliferation in rat mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow

Abstract

These results demonstrate that membrane potential, IK(DR) and I(KCa) channels change with cell cycle progression and corresponding alteration of gene expression. IK(DR) and intermediate-conductance I(KCa) play an important role in maintaining membrane potential and they participate in modulation of proliferation in rat MSCs.
