BD, Scatter dot plots with the average SD of the ratio between the maximal dV/dt values of the first action potentials at each IPI. In 2 proteins, the first three residues after the initial methionine have been identified as essential for inactivation. (2009) and do not exclude a contribution to adaptation of the Ca2+-calmodulin feedback, but rather introduce Na+ channels as new players in short-term spike frequency adaptation. Spike frequency adaptation to repeated urine stimulations. A, Phaseplane plots of the first action potential in response to a repeated urine stimulation of 10 s duration with increasing IPIs ranging from 2 to 60 s, as indicated. Slow inactivation of Na+ channels has been associated with activity-dependent modulation of neuronal excitability in several systems. Wikipedia currently has a useful table on the sodium channel page showing the different states that a sodium channel goes through during different phases of an action potential. As the authors also implied in the manuscripts (Line 186), an obvious question here is the relative contribution of the transduction-originated adaptation and Na channel-originated adaptation to the spike adaption. [11] The ball domain enters the channel through the side slits and attaches to a binding site deep in the central cavity. We conclude that vomeronasal neurons do exhibit a time-dependent short-term spike frequency adaptation to repeated natural stimuli and that slow inactivation of Na+ channels contributes to this form of adaptation. 6. See more; Circulation (2006) 114(24) 2584-2594. Current step durations of 10 s (F), 5 s (G), and 2 s (H; for F: n=8; Demsars test after Friedman test: p=0.00054 for IPI 2 s; p=0.018 for IPI 5 s; for H: n=14; Friedman test, p=0.126). First, in the case of the current injection experiments (Figs 4 and 5), I understand it is easier to use a current of 5 pA to generate spikes, but would it be more informative to use a current that would generate a comparable number of spikes (as the diluted urine would (e.g., some 20 spikes/5 sec)? Moreover, to allow a complete recovery of the Na+ current, the time between each consecutive paired pulse was at least 1min. The ideas and opinions expressed in eNeuro do not necessarily reflect those of SfN or the eNeuro Editorial Board. Mice were transferred to a cage (height/width/length, 810 12cm), and 100% CO2 was slowly injected into the cage until the animal stopped breathing and no longer displayed pedal reflex (near 3min; gas flow rate, 20% of chamber volume/min). This information should be added. The 1 subunit aids recovery from inactivation,[22] while 2 accelerates inactivation. Voltage-dependent Na channels are always fast sodium channels. I do have a couple of questions regarding the experimental design that I would like to hear the authors' thoughts on. Line 175: n = 10, whereas in the fig. Indeed, we used urine pulses from 2 to 10 s, shorter than the 20 s pulses used by Spehr et al. Nonsense mutations in Nav.1.7, the main pain signaling voltage-gated sodium channel, lead to its truncations and, consequently, to the inactivation of the channel functionality. 6F). 6A, dashed line) compared with the one evoked by the first urine pulse (59mV/ms; Fig. VGSCs play a significant role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. The results point to [Na(+)] overload in DRG neurons expressing mutant G856D Nav1.7, which triggers reverse mode of NCX and contributes to Ca(2+) toxicity, and suggest subtype-specific blockade of Nav 1.7 or inhibition of reverse NCX as strategies that might slow or prevent axon degeneration in small-fiber neuropathy. What is the inactivation of sodium channel? The process is also called hinged-lid inactivation or N-type inactivation. Mutations in genes encoding the subunit in cardiac sodium channels affect inactivation. [6], Mutagenesis experiments have identified an intracellular string of amino acids as prime candidates for the pore blocker. Current pulses of 5 s also displayed some difference in maximal dV/dt (Fig. The mechanism of inactivation is as follows: The voltage-gated channels work by two important conditions such as depolarization and hyperpolarization. Please correct. FI arises from a group of hydrophobic The neuron was kept at 80mV during each IPI.

by a test potential (30ms) at 0mV (Fig. 3. We discussed it at page 10, lines 338-344. Although it is difficult to generalize the results found in V1Rb2-expressing and V2R1b-expressing cells to the whole population of apical and basal VSNs, respectively, the parameter of the Boltzmann equation we found for fast inactivation is indeed in good agreement with the values reported by Ukhanov et al. Gain-of-function missense mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 . In epilepsy, mutations in sodium channels genes delay inactivation. Moreover, the authors did not find any spike frequency adaptation when VSNs responded to paired current steps of 2pA lasting 20 s and separated by an IPI of 30 s, thus excluding a contribution of voltage-gated channels. A positively charged region between the III and IV domains of sodium channels is thought to act in a similar way. To test cell viability, we used a high-K+ solution (25 mm KCl) by replacing equimolar amounts of NaCl with KCl in ACSF. Many types of pain reflect neuronal hyperexcitability, so the use-dependent block of Na + channels may contribute to the efficacy of menthol as analgesic compound. 6B). We thank the reviewer for the suggestion. Voltage-gated sodium channels open (activate) when the membrane is depolarized and close on repolarization (deactivate) but also on continuing depolarization by a process termed inactivation, which leaves the channel refractory, i.e., unable to open again for a period of time. Kinetic properties and inactivation of the gating currents of sodium channels in squid axon. We could not use an active series resistance and capacitive compensation due to non-linearity of the system and to the presence of oscillations that damage the neuron. Currents were elicited by a paired-pulse protocol consisting of a depolarization prepulse from 80 to 20mV of 1 s (A) or 10 s (B) duration followed by a short (10ms) test pulse at increasing recovery intervals ranging from 1 to 15 s. The holding potential was 80mV. However the percentage of firing neurons that responded to diluted urine was quite high (>80%). Ligand binding also causes Ca2+ release from intracellular stores that may also directly activate Ca2+-activated Cl channels (Kim et al., 2011). Steps at the top indicate the time of current injection. Phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin, DPH) is an established sodium channel blocker and is a useful anticonvulsant and class 1b antiarrhythmic, and has been effectively used in the treatment of neuropathic pain. N2 - 1. A, Whole-cell current-clamp recordings from a VSN stimulated for 5 s with a high-K+ solution (25 mm KCl; black trace), diluted urine (1:50; green trace), or diluted artificial urine (1:50; gray trace). The duration of urine stimulation affects the extent of spike frequency adaptation. Why did the test pulse in Figure 7E set to 0 mV instead of -20 mV? If it were set at -20 mV, Fig 7F curve would be able to compare directly with Fig 7D curve, and the difference would indicate the slow inactivation. Reviewing Editor: Christina Zelano, Northwestern University - Chicago. As a whole, the study is well conceived and the paper is well written. The Na+ channels that are important for action potentials show rapid inactivation, a state in which . FH, Scatter dot plots with the average SD of the ratio between the maximal dV/dt values of the first action potentials at each IPI. Experiments were performed at room temperature (2025C). As both Na+ and Ca2+ currents may contribute to inward currents in VSNs (Liman and Corey, 1996; Ukhanov et al., 2007), we added 100 m Cd2+ to the external solution to block Ca2+ currents. With the curve obtained at 0 mV, how could the authors know that the channel underwent slow inactivation? View publication. This was done by hyperpolarising the membrane, causing the channel to open, and observing a delay in inactivation. calciumd. Line 185, show-term should be short-term", To Dr. Christina Zelano, Reviewing Editor of eNeuro. Urine, artificial urine, and high-K+ solutions were delivered through an 8-into-1 multibarrel perfusion pencil connected to a ValveLink8.2 pinch valve perfusion system (AutoMate Scientific). IPR001696 Voltage gated sodium channel, alpha subunit. The potassium channels encoded by the Drosophila Shaker gene activate and inactivate rapidly when the membrane potential becomes more positive. 7. the "inactivation particle" (first three amino acids on the inactivation gate). Inactivation occurs in the presence of an activating stimulus, e.g. In neuroscience, ball and chain inactivation is a model to explain the fast inactivation mechanism of voltage-gated ion channels.The process is also called hinged-lid inactivation or N-type inactivation.A voltage-gated ion channel can be in three states: open, closed, or inactivated. Revision of the manuscript eN-NWR-0471-21 Slow inactivation of sodium channels contributes to short-term adaptation in vomeronasal sensory neurons. TTX (2 m; LATOXAN) was used to block Na+ channels. This channel is in the open state. With the curve obtained at 0 mV, how could the authors know that the channel underwent slow inactivation? All nucleic 53. These results highlight the importance of sodium channel inactivation states in regulating neuronal excitability . 3B,D). Carbamazepine and phenytoin reduced spike-firing induced by both ramps. Moreover, as urine contains K+, we also performed a control by applying diluted artificial urine (Fig. These data show that voltage-gated Na+ channels in VSNs present slow inactivation and that recovery from slow inactivation requires several seconds and depends on the duration of the inactivation step. For normally distributed data, repeated measures ANOVA was used, followed by a paired t test with Bonferroni correction; while for data not normally distributed, statistical significance was determined using a Friedmans test followed by a Demsars test. [20] The effect is thought be stoichiometric, as the gradual introduction of un-tethered synthetic balls to the cytoplasm eventually restores inactivation. Unfortunately, the pattern of firing induced by urine is very heterogeneous (Fig. The latter are single-span integral membrane proteins that modulate the sodium current (INa) and can . Second, in the experiments characterizing the slow inactivation of Na+ channels (Fig 7), Fig 7F curve should contain both the fast inactivation and the slow inactivation components. Such analysis would make this paper much more impactful. In hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neurons, cumulative inactivation is involved in regulating back-propagating action potential amplitude and can influence dendritic excitation (Jung et al., 1997; Mickus et al., 1999). When sodium channel conductance is poorly regulated, very bad things happen. Sodium channel states: Na V channels cycle between 3 states: open, closed (resting) and inactivated. Option fifth ( opening of sodium channels ) is correct reason = Option first and second is incorrect reason = Option t . Site-directed mutagenesis and single-channel patch-clamp recording were used to explore the molecular transitions that underlie inactivation in Shaker potassium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. 2 legend n = 9.

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. The ShapiroWilk test was used to verify data normality. A paired Dunnetts test was used after ANOVA (see Fig. Since the authors used a slice preparation, it should be easy to establish whether they recorded from apical or basal VSNs. 8, data). The recovery time between each paired pulse was at least 2min. A voltage-gated ion channel can be in three states: open, closed, or inactivated. This leads to the channel staying open for longer and thus longer-lasting neuronal firing. The inactivation gates of the sodium channels close, stopping the inward rush of positive ions. Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na +) through a cell's membrane. They differ in level of expression and are localized in different neuronal compartments (Fieni et al., 2003; Rupasinghe et al., 2012; Ibarra-Soria et al., 2014; Bolz et al., 2017). [13] The T and F interact directly with the docking site in the channel pore. We changed in accordance with Reviewer suggestion. Modifying the amino acids of the ball while preserving their chemical properties does not disrupt the inactivation mechanism. (2018), allowed us to bypass the transduction cascade to measure the contribution of voltage-gated channels to spike frequency adaptation. 4A,B). The test potential should not affect the parameters of either slow or fast inactivation. microO . On the same neuron, we used a depolarizing high-K+ solution stimulus as a positive control to test the neuron viability and to determine the time of arrival of the solution on the neuron (Fig. They show that VSNs display short-term spike adaptation using whole-cell patch-clamp recording and paired-pulse stimulation protocol. I would not use the term resting potential because any measurement with the patch-clamp technique is inevitably affected by the shunt seal resistance. A, B, Representative whole-cell current-clamp recordings obtained stimulating VSNs with diluted urine for 2 s (A) or 10 s (B), with increasing intervals between pulses of 2, 5, 10, 20, or 60 s, as indicated. [19], Potassium channels have an additional feature in the N-terminus which makes the channels unable to inactivate. alanine in domain III's S4-S5 segments and the asparagine in domain IV's S4-S5 segments. With the Na + channel no longer contributing to the membrane potential, the potential decreases back to its resting potential as the neuron . At the same time, the potassium channels open. The opening and closing of voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels at different threshold voltages and inactivation of sodium channels occur because gates in the proteins move to open and close the pore region in the centre of the channel that allows ions . We hypothesized that lacosamide modulates voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) at clinical concentrations (32-100 M). We believe that the revised manuscript has been improved by taking . The vomeronasal system controls many social behaviors in most mammals by detecting pheromones released by conspecifics. The combined effect of sodium inactivation, which blocks the influx In this type of analysis, the changes of membrane potential with time (dV/dt) are plotted as a function of membrane potential, and each action potential is represented by a loop, with the upper and lower parts representing the depolarization and repolarization phases, respectively (Jenerick, 1963; Naundorf et al., 2006; Bean, 2007). B-D) Localization and expression of mKate2, which is translationally fused to the ion channels, in the different inactivation strains. In this study, we used current-clamp whole-cell recordings to investigate short-term adaptation by measuring the effect of a first stimulus on the spiking response elicited by a second identical stimulus repeated at different time intervals. Here, we measured short-term adaptation performing current-clamp whole-cell recordings by using diluted urine as a stimulus, as it contains many pheromones. 6H). They are primarily formed by a pore-forming multi-spanning integral membrane glycoprotein (-subunit) that can be associated with one or more regulatory -subunits. We believe that the revised manuscript has been improved by taking into account all the comments. We plan to further investigate this aspect. A region near the amino terminus with an important . Also, do the VSNs used for the current injection experiments pass the Fig 1 test? Gating current (Ig) has been studied in relation to inactivation of Na channels. By contrast, an enhanced persistent sodium current (59, 60) or an anomalous gating pore current (61, 62) typical of mutations associated with either hyperkalemic or hypokalemic periodic paralysis, respectively, causes sustained depolarization of the resting potential and inexcitability owing to inactivation of WT sodium channels. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of the intrinsic biophysical properties of ion channels in normalizing axonal function, which depends on relations between the kinetics of slow inactivation and the firing frequency, and which can compensate for uneven channel distributions. The blockage is caused by a "ball" of amino acids connected to the main protein by a string of residues on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Evolution of Sodium Selectivity and Fast Inactivation. a change in membrane voltage. The antibody effect was not observed if the membrane patches were depolarized to inactivate sodium channels before exposure to the antibody, indicating that the intracellular sequence recognized by the antibody is rendered inaccessible by inactivation. Line 155, average input resistance was 1.3 {plus minus} 0.5 (n = 34). I do have a couple of questions regarding the experimental design that I would like to hear the authors thoughts on. Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) are multi-molecular protein complexes expressed in both excitable and non-excitable cells. Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSCs) with possible membrane-stabilizing effects. We next examined whether the duration of a current step affects short-term adaptation by repeating the same experiments obtained with urine stimuli (Fig. Here, we used current-clamp whole-cell recordings to measure responses to repeated identical pulses of diluted urine from 2 to 10 s in duration, and measured spike frequency adaptation that depended on the time interval between pulses and gradually recovered as the IPI increased into the range of 230 s. Moreover, we found that increasing the duration of paired stimuli produced a more effective adaptation, thus demonstrating that short-term adaptation depends on the pulse duration and the interval between stimulations. In addition, INa exhibits different properties, including steady-state inactivation. Lacosamide inhibited sustained repetitive firing during a 10-s burst but not within the . The key to understanding this is to digest the fact that there are two gates blocking a normal sodium channel. IPR008054 Voltage gated sodium channel, alpha-8 subunit. This creates a current caused by the flow of ions through the channel. Long pre-pulses tend to shift the inactivation curve to more negative membrane potentials. Rufinamide is a structurally novel, antiepileptic drug approved for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Continuous and dashed lines were calculated from the first action potential of the first and second urine pulses, respectively. Owing to a neurotransmitter release, there is depolarization of the plasma membrane around the channel. For example, Ukhanov et al. If it were set at -20 mV, Fig 7F curve would be able to compare directly with Fig 7D curve, and the difference would indicate the slow inactivation.
