BACKGROUND: Fetal exposure to alcohol can have multiple deleterious effects, including learning disorders and behavioral and executive functioning abnormalities, collectively termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Neonatal mice lacking both calcium-/calmodulin-stimulated adenylyl cyclases (ACs) 1 and 8 demonstrate increased vulnerability to ethanol (EtOH)-induced neurotoxicity in the striatum compared with wild-type (WT) controls. However, the developmental impact on surviving neurons is still unclear.
METHODS: WT and AC1/8 double knockout (DKO) mice were administered 1 dose of EtOH (2.5 g/kg) between postnatal days 5 to 7 (P5-7). At P30, brains were removed and processed for Golgi-Cox staining. Medium spiny neurons (MSNs) from the caudate putamen were analyzed for changes in dendritic complexity; number of branches, branch points and terminals, total and average dendritic length; spine density and soma size.
RESULTS: EtOH significantly reduced the dendritic complexity and soma size in surviving MSNs regardless of genotype without affecting spine density. In the absence of EtOH, genetic deletion of AC1/8 reduced the dendritic complexity, number of branch points, spine density, and soma size of MSNs compared with WT controls.
CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that neonatal exposure to a single dose of EtOH is sufficient to cause long-term alterations in the dendritic complexity of MSNs and that this outcome is not altered by the functional status of AC1 and AC8. Therefore, although deletion of AC1/8 demonstrates a role for the ACs in normal morphologic development and EtOH-induced neurodegeneration, loss of AC1/8 activity does not exacerbate the effects of EtOH on dendritic morphology or spine density.
