Role of leaky neuronal ryanodine receptors in stress-induced cognitive dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: The type 2 ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel (RyR2), required for excitation-contraction coupling in the heart, is abundant in the brain. Chronic stress induces catecholamine biosynthesis and release, stimulating ?-adrenergic receptors and activating cAMP signaling pathways in neurons. In a murine chronic restraint stress model, neuronal RyR2 were phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA), oxidized, and nitrosylated, resulting in depletion of the stabilizing subunit calstabin2 (FKBP12.6) from the channel complex and intracellular calcium leak. Stress-induced cognitive dysfunction, including deficits in learning and memory, and reduced long-term potentiation (LTP) at the hippocampal CA3-CA1 connection were rescued by oral administration of S107, a compound developed in our laboratory that stabilizes RyR2-calstabin2 interaction, or by genetic ablation of the RyR2 PKA phosphorylation site at serine 2808. Thus, neuronal RyR2 remodeling contributes to stress-induced cognitive dysfunction. Leaky RyR2 could be a therapeutic target for treatment of stress-induced cognitive dysfunction.

The type 2 ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel (RyR2), required for excitation-contraction coupling in the heart, is abundant in the brain. Chronic stress induces catecholamine biosynthesis and release, stimulating β-adrenergic receptors and activating cAMP signaling pathways in neurons. In a murine chronic restraint stress model, neuronal RyR2 were phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA), oxidized, and nitrosylated, resulting in depletion of the stabilizing subunit calstabin2 (FKBP12.6) ...[more]

Project description:Environmental manganese (Mn) exposure is associated with impaired attention and psychomotor functioning, as well as impulsivity/hyperactivity in children and adolescents. We have shown previously that developmental Mn exposure can cause these same dysfunctions in a rat model. Methylphenidate (MPH) lessens impairments in attention, impulse control, and sensorimotor function in children, but it is unknown whether MPH ameliorates these dysfunctions when induced by developmental Mn exposure. Here, we sought to (1) determine whether oral MPH treatment ameliorates the lasting attention and sensorimotor impairments caused by developmental Mn exposure, and (2) elucidate the mechanism(s) of Mn neurotoxicity and MPH effectiveness. Rats were given 50 mg Mn/kg/d orally over PND 1-21 and assessed as adults in a series of attention, impulse control and sensorimotor tasks during oral MPH treatment (0, 0.5, 1.5, or 3.0 mg/kg/d). Subsequently, selective catecholaminergic receptor antagonists were administered to gain insight into the mechanism(s) of action of Mn and MPH. Developmental Mn exposure caused persistent attention and sensorimotor impairments. MPH treatment at 0.5 mg/kg/d completely ameliorated the Mn attentional dysfunction, whereas the sensorimotor deficits were ameliorated by the 3.0 mg/kg/d MPH dose. Notably, the MPH benefit on attention was only apparent after prolonged treatment, while MPH efficacy for the sensorimotor deficits emerged early in treatment. Selectively antagonizing D1, D2, or α2A receptors had no effect on the Mn-induced attentional dysfunction or MPH efficacy in this domain. However, antagonism of D2R attenuated the Mn sensorimotor deficits, whereas the efficacy of MPH to ameliorate those deficits was diminished by D1R antagonism. These findings demonstrate that MPH is effective in alleviating the lasting attention and sensorimotor dysfunction caused by developmental Mn exposure, and they clarify the mechanisms underlying developmental Mn neurotoxicity and MPH efficacy. Given that the cause of attention and psychomotor deficits in children is often unknown, these findings have implications for the treatment of environmentally-induced attentional and psychomotor dysfunction in children more broadly.

Project description:BackgroundThe pyrethroid deltamethrin (DM) is broadly used for insect control. Although DM hyperexcites neuronal networks by delaying inactivation of axonal voltage-dependent [Formula: see text] channels, this mechanism is unlikely to mediate neurotoxicity at lower exposure levels during critical perinatal periods in mammals.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify mechanisms by which acute and subchronic DM altered axonal and dendritic growth, patterns of synchronous [Formula: see text] oscillations (SCOs), and electrical spike activity (ESA) functions critical to neuronal network formation.MethodsMeasurements of SCOs using [Formula: see text] imaging, ESA using microelectrode array (MEA) technology, and dendritic complexity using Sholl analysis were performed in primary murine cortical neurons from wild-type (WT) and/or ryanodine receptor 1 ([Formula: see text]) mice between 5 and 14 d in vitro (DIV). [Formula: see text] binding analysis and a single-channel voltage clamp were utilized to measure engagement of RyRs as a direct target of DM.ResultsNeuronal networks responded to DM ([Formula: see text]) as early as 5 DIV, reducing SCO amplitude and depressing ESA and burst frequencies by 60-70%. DM ([Formula: see text]) enhanced axonal growth in a nonmonotonic manner. [Formula: see text] enhanced dendritic complexity. DM stabilized channel open states of RyR1, RyR2, and cortical preparations expressing all three isoforms. DM ([Formula: see text]) altered gating kinetics of RyR1 channels, increasing mean open time, decreasing mean closed time, and thereby enhancing overall open probability. SCO patterns from cortical networks expressing [Formula: see text] were more responsive to DM than WT. [Formula: see text] neurons showed inherently longer axonal lengths than WT neurons and maintained less length-promoting responses to nanomolar DM.ConclusionsOur findings suggested that RyRs were sensitive molecular targets of DM with functional consequences likely relevant for mediating abnormal neuronal network connectivity in vitro. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP4583.

Project description:Calcium ion dyshomeostasis contributes to the progression of many neurodegenerative diseases and represents a target for the development of neuroprotective therapies, as reported by Duncan et al. (Molecules 15(3):1168-95, 2010), LaFerla (Nat Rev Neurosci 3(11):862-72, 2002), and Niittykoshi et al. (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 51(12):6387-93, 2010). Dysfunctional ryanodine receptors contribute to calcium ion dyshomeostasis and potentially to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases by generating abnormal calcium ion release from the endoplasmic reticulum, according to Bruno et al. (Neurobiol Aging 33(5):1001 e1-6, 2012) and Stutzmann et al. (J Neurosci 24(2):508-13, 2004). Since ryanodine receptors share functional and structural similarities with potassium channels, as reported by Lanner et al. (Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol 2(11):a003996, 2010), and small molecules with anti-oxidant properties, such as resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), directly control the activity of potassium channels, according to Wang et al. (J Biomed Sci 23(1):47, 2016), McCalley et al. (Molecules 19(6):7327-40, 2014), Novakovic et al. (Mol Hum Reprod 21(6):545-51, 2015), Li et al. (Cardiovasc Res 45(4):1035-45, 2000), Gopalakrishnan et al. (Br J Pharmacol 129(7):1323-32, 2000), and Hambrock et al. (J Biol Chem 282(5):3347-56, 2007), we hypothesized that trans-resveratrol can modulate intracellular calcium signaling through direct binding and functional regulation of ryanodine receptors. The goal of our study was to identify and measure the control of ryanodine receptor activity by trans-resveratrol. Mechanisms of calcium signaling mediated by the direct interaction between trans-resveratrol and ryanodine receptors were identified and measured with single-channel electrophysiology. Addition of trans-resveratrol to the cytoplasmic face of the ryanodine receptor increased single-channel activity at physiological and elevated pathophysiological cytoplasmic calcium ion concentrations. The open probability of the channel increases after interacting with the small molecule in a dose-dependent manner, but remains also dependent on the concentration of its physiological ligand, cytoplasmic-free calcium ions. This study provides the first evidence of a direct functional interaction between trans-resveratrol and ryanodine receptors. Such functional control of ryanodine receptors by trans-resveratrol as a novel mechanism of action could provide additional rationales for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat and prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
