Enhanced hippocampal type II theta activity AND altered theta architecture in mice lacking the Cav3.2 T-type voltage-gated calcium channel.


ABSTRACT: T-type Ca2+ channels are assumed to contribute to hippocampal theta oscillations. We used implantable video-EEG radiotelemetry and qPCR to unravel the role of Cav3.2 Ca2+ channels in hippocampal theta genesis. Frequency analysis of spontaneous long-term recordings in controls and Cav3.2-/- mice revealed robust increase in relative power in the theta (4-8 Hz) and theta-alpha (4-12 Hz) ranges, which was most prominent during the inactive stages of the dark cycles. Urethane injection experiments also showed enhanced type II theta activity and altered theta architecture following Cav3.2 ablation. Next, gene candidates from hippocampal transcriptome analysis of control and Cav3.2-/- mice were evaluated using qPCR. Dynein light chain Tctex-Type 1 (Dynlt1b) was significantly reduced in Cav3.2-/- mice. Furthermore, a significant reduction of GABA A receptor ? subunits and GABA B1 receptor subunits was observed in the septohippocampal GABAergic system. Our results demonstrate that ablation of Cav3.2 significantly alters type II theta activity and theta architecture. Transcriptional changes in synaptic transporter proteins and GABA receptors might be functionally linked to the electrophysiological phenotype.
