Representative traces illustrating the effect of cer (10 μm), sph (10 μm), and SPP (5 μm) on DiBAC4 fluorescence in cultured rat OLGs. An increase in fluorescence intensity indicates depolarization.A, Cer-induced depolarization and sph-induced hyperpolarization. Note that 0.1% ethanol (EtOH) and 0.1% DMSO had no effect on OLG RMP. B, SPP-induced depolarization and sph-induced hyperpolarization compared with depolarization induced by high K+ (70 mm). C, Effect of sph in the presence of PMA (320 nm). D, Effect of sph and cer in Ca2+-free conditions.
