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

Biology

Svetlanka [38]2 years ago
8 0

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.

____________ is the preservation of all cellular and structural elements in as nearly the natural living condition as possible.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3)

Explanation:

Cryo-preservation or cryo-conservation is defined as the process of preservation of all cellular and structural elements such as cells, organelles, tissues, organs, or any other biological constructs by cooling to very low temperatures.

Two commonly used solutions in plants for this purpose are Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3). Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) is consists of, w/v, 0.4 M sucrose, 30% glycerol, 15% DMSO and  15% ethylene glycol and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) comprising, w/v, 50% sucrose and 50% glycerol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) "
