Ethanol blocks cytosolic Ca2+ responses triggered by activation of GABA(A) receptor/Cl- channels in cultured proliferating rat neuroepithelial cells.

Abstract:

:GABA(A) receptor/Cl- channels and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are believed to be important sites of ethanol action in the CNS. Acute exposure of ethanol potentiates GABA(A) receptor/Cl- channel activity and inhibits voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in a number of preparations, mostly post-mitotic neurons. The effects of ethanol on these channels in primary cultures of undifferentiated neural precursor cells remain unknown. To address this issue, we examined the effects of ethanol on GABA(A) agonist-activated elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ in an in vitro model of the cortical neuroepithelium derived from rat basic fibroblast growth factor-expanded neural precursor cells. We found a potent inhibition of GABA(A)-activated elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ by ethanol in actively proliferating cells. Since we had recently demonstrated that GABA(A) receptor activation depolarizes these cells and elevates their cytosolic Ca2+, we tested whether the effects of ethanol involved both GABA(A) receptors and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Both extracellular K+- and muscimol-induced cytosolic Ca2+ elevations were abolished by nitrendipine, indicating that both depolarizing stimuli triggered Ca2+ influx through L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Exposure of proliferating cells to different concentrations of ethanol revealed that the drug was more potent in blocking muscimol-induced compared to K+-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ elevations. These results raise the possibility that ethanol blocks GABAergic stimulation of cytosolic Ca2+ levels in proliferating precursors primarily by interacting with GABA(A) receptor/Cl- channels and secondarily with voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.
