g protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels mediate depotentiation of long-term potentiation

Svetlanka [38]1 year ago

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is considered a cellular correlate of learning and memory. The presence of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels near excitatory synapses on dendritic spines suggests their possible involvement in synaptic plasticity. However, whether activity-dependent regulation of  channels affects excitatory synaptic plasticity is unknown. In a companion article we have reported activity-dependent regulation of GIRK channel density in cultured hippocampal neurons that requires activity oF receptors (NMDAR) and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and takes place within 15 min. In this study, we performed whole-cell recordings of cultured hippocampal neurons and found that NMDAR activation increases basal GIRK current and GIRK channel activation mediated by adenosine A(1) receptors, but not GABA(B) receptors. Given the similar involvement of NMDARs, adenosine  receptors, and PP1 in depotentiation of LTP caused by low-frequency stimulation that immediately follows LTP-inducing high-frequency stimulation, we wondered whether NMDAR-induced increase in GIRK channel surface density and current may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying this specific depotentiation. Remarkably, GIRK2 null mutation or GIRK channel blockade abolishes depotentiation of LTP, demonstrating that GIRK channels are critical for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Stem cells are the cells which have the ability to form different types of cells. They differentiate and specializes to perform different functions in the body and thus forms the different cells.  

The differentiation and specialization are controlled at the gene level by different patterns of gene expression. The pattern of gene expression is not fully understood during development but research have shown that the gene expression is influenced by the different environmental signals and internal regulators.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
