"The difference in findings between the two independent studies is likely due to the varied approaches that were used for TREK-1 manipulation; the genetic knockout was used in our study, whereas in the study reported by others, spadin was used to pharmacologically inhibit TREK-1 in cultured cortical neurons."

"Electrophysiological studies show that spadin efficiently blocks the TREK-1 activity in COS-7 cells, cultured pyramidal neurons, as well as CA3 hippocampal neurons in brain slices of wild-type mice and not in kcnk2 -/- mice, suggesting a specific effect of spadin on the TREK-1 channel."
