It is widely believed that a rise in post-synaptic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is a necessary step in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) (Bliss and Collingridge, Nature, 361 (1993) 31-39). In this experiment, we examine the involvement of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC) in the induction of AP5-sensitive LTP induced by theta-burst stimulation in guinea-pig hippocampal CA1 neurons. The VGCC blockers, Ni2+ (25 microM, T-channel blocker) or omega-AgaIVA (60 nM, P-channel blocker), which have no effect on synaptic transmission, suppress 60% or 78% of the theta-burst induced LTP, respectively. This implies that Ca2+ entry through VGCC is an important step in this form of LTP.
人们普遍认为,突触后钙浓度([Ca2+]i)的升高是诱导长时程增强(LTP)的必要步骤(布利斯和科林格里奇,《自然》,361(1993年)31 - 39)。在本实验中,我们研究了电压门控钙通道(VGCC)在豚鼠海马CA1神经元中由θ波爆发刺激诱导的AP5敏感型LTP诱导过程中的作用。对突触传递无影响的VGCC阻滞剂Ni2+(25微摩尔,T型通道阻滞剂)或ω - AgaIVA(60纳摩尔,P型通道阻滞剂)分别抑制了60%或78%的θ波爆发诱导的LTP。这表明通过VGCC的Ca2+内流是这种形式的LTP的一个重要步骤。
