Drosophila voltage-gated sodium channels are only expressed in active neurons and are localized to distal axonal initial segment-like domains

Project description:In multipolar vertebrate neurons, action potentials (AP) initiate close to the soma, at the axonal initial segment (AIS). Invertebrate neurons are typically unipolar with dendrites integrating directly into the axon. Where APs are initiated in the axons of invertebrate neurons is unclear. Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are a functional hallmark of the AIS in vertebrates. We used an intronic MiMIC to determine the endogenous gene expression and subcellular localization of the sole NaV channel in both male and female Drosophila, para. Despite being the only NaV channel in the fly, we show that only 23 ±1% of neurons in the embryonic and larval CNS express para, while in the adult CNS para is broadly expressed. We generated a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the whole 3rd instar larval brain to identify para expressing neurons and show that it positively correlates with markers of differentiated, actively firing neurons. Therefore only 23 ±1% of larval neurons may be capable of firing NaV-dependent APs. We then show that Para is enriched in an axonal segment, distal to the site of dendritic integration into the axon, which we named the Distal Axonal Segment (DAS). The DAS is present in multiple neuron classes in both the 3rd instar larval and adult CNS. Whole cell patch clamp electrophysiological recordings of adult CNS fly neurons are consistent with the interpretation that Nav-dependent APs originate in the DAS. Identification of the distal NaV localization in fly neurons will enable more accurate interpretation of electrophysiological recordings in invertebrates.

Roles of voltage-gated potassium channels in the maintenance of pancreatic cancer stem cells

Project description:The targeting of membrane proteins that are activated in cancer stem cells (CSCs) represents one of the key strategies in novel cancer therapy. The present study investigated ion channel expression profiles and functions in pancreatic CSCs (PCSCs). Cells strongly expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) were separated from PK59 cells, a human pancreatic cancer cell line, using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and PCSCs were identified based on tumorsphere formation. A microarray analysis was performed to investigate gene expression profiles in PCSCs. ALDH1A1 messenger RNA levels were higher in PCSCs. PCSCs were resistant to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capable of re-differentiation. The microarray analysis revealed that gene expression related to ion channels, including voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv), was up-regulated. 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP), a potent Kv inhibitor, exhibited greater cytotoxicity in PCSCs. In a xenograft model in nude mice, tumor volumes were significantly smaller in mice injected with PK59 cells treated with 4-AP than in those injected with non-treated cells. The present results implicate Kv in the persistence of PCSCs, and the Kv inhibitor, 4-AP, has potential as a therapeutic agent for pancreatic carcinoma.

Peptide toxins that target vertebrate voltage-gated sodium channels underly the painful stings of harvester ants

Project description:Harvester ants (genus Pogonomyrmex) are notable for their stings which cause intense, long-lasting pain and other neurotoxic symptoms in vertebrates. Here we show that harvester ant venoms are relatively simple and composed largely of peptide toxins. One class of peptides is primarily responsible for the long-lasting local pain of envenomation. These hydrophobic, cysteine-free peptides activate mammalian sensory neurons via potent modulation of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels, reducing voltage threshold for activation and inhibiting channel inactivation. These toxins appear to have evolved specifically as deterrents against vertebrates.

MicroRNA-96 is required to prevent allodynia by repressing voltage-gated sodium channels in spinal cord

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 are predominately expressed in peripheral sensory neurons and are critical for action potential propagation in nociceptors. Unexpectedly, we found that expression of SCN9A, SCN10A, SCN11A, and SCN2A, the alpha subunit of Nav1.7, Nav1.8, Nav1.9 and Nav1.2, respectively, are up-regulated in spinal dorsal horn (SDH) neurons of miR-96 knockout mice. These mice also have de-repression of CACNA2d1/2 in DRG and display heat and mechanical allodynia that could be attenuated by intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection of Nav1.7 or Nav1.8 inhibitors or Gabapentin. Moreover, Gad2::CreERT2 conditional miR-96 knockout mice phenocopied global knockout mice, implicating inhibitory neurons; nerve injury induced significant loss of miR-96 in SDH GABAergic and Glutamatergic neurons in mice which negative correlated to up-regulation of Nav1.7, Nav1.8, Nav1.9 and Scn2a, this dis-regulation of miR-96 and Navs in SDH neurons contributed to neuropathic pain which can be alleviated by intrathecal injection of Nav1.7 or Nav1.8 blockers. In conclusion, miR-96 is required to avoid allodynia through limiting the expression of VGCCs and Navs in DRG and Navs in SDH in naïve and nerve injury induced neuropathic pain mice. Our findings suggest that central nervous system penetrating Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 inhibitors may be efficacious for pain relief.

Interactome of the -subunit of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels in adult cardiomyocytes

Project description:In cardiomyocytes, Ca2+ influx through L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (LTCCs) following membrane depolarization regulates crucial Ca2+-dependent processes including duration and amplitude of the action potentials and excitation-contraction coupling. LTCCs are heteromultimeric proteins composed of the Cav1, Cav, Cav2 and Cav subunits. Here, using ascorbate peroxidase (APEX)-mediated proximity labeling and quantitative proteomics, we identified 61 proteins in the nano-environments of Cav2 in cardiomyocytes. These proteins are involved in diverse cellular functions such as cellular trafficking, muscular contraction, sarcomere organization and excitation-contraction coupling. Moreover, pull-down assays, co-immunoprecipitation analyses and super-resolution imaging using direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) revealed that Cav2 interacts with the ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) in adult cardiomyocytes, probably coupling LTCCs and the RyR2 into a supramolecular complex at the dyads. This interaction is mediated by the Src-homology 3 domain of Cav2 and is necessary for an effective pacing frequency‐dependent increase of the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release mechanism in cardiomyocytes.

Kv7.2 LC-MSMS - Updating in vivo and in vitro phosphorylation and methylation sites of voltage-gated Kv7

Project description:Voltage-gated Kv7.2 potassium channels regulate neuronal excitability. The gating of Kv7 channels is regulated by various mediators and neurotransmitters acting via G protein-coupled receptors; the underlying signalling cascades involve phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), Ca2+/Calmodulin and phosphorylation. Recent studies have reported that PIP2 sensitivity of Kv7.2 channels is affected by two PTMs, phosphorylation and methylation, harboured in the PIP2 binding domains. Here this project aimed to update phosphorylation and methylation sites on Kv7.2 from heterologous cells, the rat brain and GST-fusion Kv7.2 N- and C-terminal ends proteins.

Project description:Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) serves a critical O2-dependent regulatory role in differentiation of human cytotrophoblasts to syncytiotrophoblast. In this study, we investigated expression of genes encoding tissue kallikreins (KLK1) and voltage-gated K+ channels (KV7) during differentiation of human trophoblasts in culture and the roles of ERRγ and O2 tension in their regulation. Expression of KLK1 and the KV7 channel subunits, KCNQ1, KCNE1, KCNE3, KCNE5, increased during differentiation of cultured human trophoblast cells in a 20% O2 environment. Notably, together with ERRγ, expression of KLK1, KCNQ1, KCNE1, KCNE3 and KCNE5 was markedly reduced when cells were cultured in a hypoxic environment (2% O2). Moreover, upon transduction of trophoblast cells with shRNAs for endogenous ERRγ, KLK1, KCNQ1, KCNE1 and KCNE3 expression was significantly decreased. Promoter and site-directed mutagenesis studies in transfected cells identified putative ERRγ response elements (ERREs) within the KLK1 and KCNE1 5'-flanking regions required for ERRγ -stimulated transcriptional activity. Binding of endogenous ERRγ to these ERREs increased during trophoblast differentiation in culture and was inhibited by hypoxia. The KV7 blocker linopirdine reduced hCG secretion and aggregation of cultured human trophoblasts, suggesting a possible role of KV7 channels in cell fusion and differentiation. Illumina gene expression arrays of cultured human trophoblast cells revealed several genes upregulated during syncytiotrophoblast differentiation and downregulated upon ERRγ knockdown involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, and synthesis of steroid and peptide hormones required for placental development and function. Collectively, these findings suggest that ERRγ mediates O2-dependent expression of genes involved in human trophoblast differentiation, function and vascular homeostasis.
