INTRODUCTION: Although ataxia is associated with cerebellar dysfunction, little is known about the effects of 3-AP exposure on Purkinje cell electrophysiological properties. Here, we evaluated these parameters in cerebellar vermis brain slices.
METHODS: Purkinje cells were exposed to artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) (control) or to 1 mM 3-acetylpyridine (3-AP) in the recording chamber. The effects of a cannabinoid agonist (WIN; 7.5 nmol) and a cannabinoid antagonist (AM; 20 nmol) were evaluated under both conditions.
RESULTS: Exposure to 3-AP induced dramatic changes in cellular excitability that likely would affect Purkinje cell output. In whole-cell current clamp recordings, 3-AP-exposed Purkinje cells demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of action potentials, a larger afterhyperpolarization (AHP), and a larger rebound of action potentials. In addition, 3-AP caused a significant decrease in the interspike interval (ISI), half-width, and first spike latency. Remarkably, the action potential frequency, AHP amplitude, rebound, ISI, action potential halfwidth, and first spike latency were no longer different from controls in 3-AP cells treated with AM. Sag percentage, on the other hand, showed no significant difference under any treatment condition, indicating that cannabinoids' actions on 3-AP-mediated Purkinje cell changes may not include effects on neuronal excitability through changes of Ih.
CONCLUSIONS: These data show that cannabinoid antagonists reduce the excitability of Purkinje cells following exposure to 3-AP and suggest their potential as therapeutics in cerebellar dysfunctions.
