Potassium channel dysfunction underlies Purkinje neuron spiking abnormalities in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2
Open accessAbstract
Alterations in Purkinje neuron firing often accompany ataxia, but the molecular basis for these changes is poorly understood. In a mouse model of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), a progressive reduction in Purkinje neuron firing frequency accompanies cell atrophy. We investigated the basis for altered Purkinje neuron firing in SCA2. A reduction in the expression of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels and Kv3.3 voltage-gated potassium channels accompanies the inability of Purkinje neurons early in disease to maintain repetitive spiking. In association with prominent Purkinje neuron atrophy, repetitive spiking is restored, although at a greatly reduced firing frequency. In spite of a continued impairment in spike repolarization and a persistently reduced BK channel mediated afterhyperpolarization (AHP), repetitive spiking is maintained, through the increased activity of barium-sensitive potassium channels, most consistent with inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels. Increased activity of Kir channels results in the generation of a novel AHP not seen in wild-type Purkinje neurons that also accounts for the reduced firing frequency late in disease. Homeostatic changes in Purkinje neuron morphology that help to preserve repetitive spiking can also therefore have deleterious consequences for spike frequency. These results suggest that the basis for spiking abnormalities in SCA2 differ depending on disease stage, and interventions targeted towards correcting potassium channel dysfunction in ataxia need to be tailored to the specific stage in the degenerative process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
