Super-Resolution Imaging Using a Novel High-Fidelity Antibody Reveals Close Association of the Neuronal Sodium Channel NaV1.6 with Ryanodine Receptors in Cardiac Muscle.

ABSTRACT: The voltage-gated sodium channel [pore-forming subunit of the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV1.6)] has recently been found in cardiac myocytes. Emerging studies indicate a role for NaV1.6 in ionic homeostasis as well as arrhythmogenesis. Little is known about the spatial organization of these channels in cardiac muscle, mainly due to the lack of high-fidelity antibodies. Therefore, we developed and rigorously validated a novel rabbit polyclonal NaV1.6 antibody and undertook super-resolution microscopy studies of NaV1.6 localization in cardiac muscle. We developed and validated a novel rabbit polyclonal antibody against a C-terminal epitope on the neuronal sodium channel 1.6 (NaV1.6). Raw sera showed high affinity in immuno-fluorescence studies, which was improved with affinity purification. The antibody was rigorously validated for specificity via multiple approaches. Lastly, we used this antibody in proximity ligation assay (PLA) and super-resolution STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) studies, which revealed enrichment of NaV1.6 in close proximity to ryanodine receptor (RyR2), a key calcium (Ca2+) cycling protein, in cardiac myocytes. In summary, our novel NaV1.6 antibody demonstrates high degrees of specificity and fidelity in multiple preparations. It enabled multimodal microscopic studies and revealed that over half of the NaV1.6 channels in cardiac myocytes are located within 100 nm of ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels.

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.
