Spontaneous long-term and urethane induced hippocampal EEG power, activity and temperature data from mice lacking the Ca_v3.2 voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channel.

ABSTRACT: This article provides raw relative electroencephalographic (EEG) power, temperature and activity data from controls and Ca_v3.2 deficient mice. Radiotransmitter implantation was carried out in male experimental mice under ketamine/xylazine narcosis. Following a recovery period, radiotelemetric EEG recordings from the hippocampal CA1 region were obtained under spontaneous 24 h long-term conditions and post urethane injection. Relative EEG power values (%) for 2 s epochs were analysed for the following frequency ranges: delta 1 ( δ1 , 0.5-4 Hz), delta 2 ( δ2 , 1-4 Hz), theta 1 ( θ1 , 4-8 Hz), theta 2 ( θ2 , 4-12 Hz), alpha ( α , 8-12 Hz), sigma ( σ , 12-16 Hz), beta 1 ( β1 , 12-30 Hz), beta 2 ( β2 , 16-24 Hz), beta 3 ( β3 , 16-30 Hz), gamma low ( γlow , 30-50 Hz), gamma mid ( γmid , 50-70 Hz), gamma high ( γhigh , 70-100 Hz), gamma ripples ( γripples , 80-200 Hz), and gamma fast ripples ( γfastripples , 200-500 Hz). In addition, subcutaneous temperature and relative activity data were analysed for both the light and dark cycle of two long-term recordings. The same type of data was obtained post urethane injection. Detailed information is provided for the age and body weight of the experimental animals, the technical specifications of the radiofrequency transmitter, the stereotaxic coordinates for the intracerebral, deep and epidural, surface EEG electrodes, the electrode features, the filtering and sampling characteristics, the analysed EEG frequency bands and the data acquisition parameters. EEG power data, temperature and activity data are available at MENDELEY DATA (doi:10.17632/x53km5sby6.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/x53km5sby6.1). Raw EEG data are available at zenodo (https://zenodo.org/).

Project description:Voltage-gated Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 (L-type) Ca2+ channels regulate neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity, and learning and memory. Densin-180 (densin) is an excitatory synaptic protein that promotes Ca2+-dependent facilitation of voltage-gated Cav1.3 Ca2+ channels in transfected cells. Mice lacking densin (densin KO) exhibit defects in synaptic plasticity, spatial memory, and increased anxiety-related behaviors-phenotypes that more closely match those in mice lacking Cav1.2 than Cav1.3. Therefore, we investigated the functional impact of densin on Cav1.2. We report that densin is an essential regulator of Cav1.2 in neurons, but has distinct modulatory effects compared with its regulation of Cav1.3. Densin binds to the N-terminal domain of Cav1.2, but not that of Cav1.3, and increases Cav1.2 currents in transfected cells and in neurons. In transfected cells, densin accelerates the forward trafficking of Cav1.2 channels without affecting their endocytosis. Consistent with a role for densin in increasing the number of postsynaptic Cav1.2 channels, overexpression of densin increases the clustering of Cav1.2 in dendrites of hippocampal neurons in culture. Compared with wild-type mice, the cell surface levels of Cav1.2 in the brain, as well as Cav1.2 current density and signaling to the nucleus, are reduced in neurons from densin KO mice. We conclude that densin is an essential regulator of neuronal Cav1 channels and ensures efficient Cav1.2 Ca2+ signaling at excitatory synapses.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The number and localization of voltage-gated Cav Ca2+ channels are crucial determinants of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. We report that the protein densin-180 is highly enriched at excitatory synapses in the brain and enhances the cell surface trafficking and postsynaptic localization of Cav1.2 L-type Ca2+ channels in neurons. This interaction promotes coupling of Cav1.2 channels to activity-dependent gene transcription. Our results reveal a mechanism that may contribute to the roles of Cav1.2 in regulating cognition and mood.

Project description:BackgroundThe postnatal mammalian ovary undergoes a series of changes to ensure the maturation of sufficient follicles to support ovulation and fecundation over the reproductive life. It is well known that intracellular [Ca2+]i signals are necessary for ovulation, fertilization, and egg activation. However, we lack detailed knowledge of the molecular identity, cellular distribution, and functional role of Ca2+ channels expressed during folliculogenesis. In the neonatal period, ovarian maturation is controlled by protein growth factors released from the oocyte and granulosa cells. Conversely, during the early infantile period, maturation becomes gonadotropin-dependent and is controlled by granulosa and theca cells. The significance of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in folliculogenesis is supported by the observation that mice lacking the expression of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase IV in granulosa cells suffer abnormal follicular development and impaired fertility.ResultsUsing immunofluorescence in frozen ovarian sections and confocal microscopy, we assessed the expression of high-voltage activated Ca2+ channel alpha subunits and InsP3 and ryanodine receptors in the postnatal period from 3 to 16 days. During the neonatal stage, oocytes from primordial and primary follicles show high expression of various Ca2+-selective channels, with granulosa and stroma cells expressing significantly less. These channels are likely involved in supporting Ca2+-dependent secretion of peptide growth factors. In contrast, during the early and late infantile periods, Ca2+ channel expression in the oocyte diminishes, increasing significantly in the granulosa and particularly in immature theca cells surrounding secondary follicles.ConclusionsThe developmental switch of Ca2+ channel expression from the oocytes to the perifollicular cells likely reflects the vanishing role of the oocytes once granulosa and theca cells take control of folliculogenesis in response to gonadotropins acting on their receptors.
