Protease nexin-1 (PN-1), a member of the serpin superfamily,
controls the activity of extracellular serine proteases and is expressed in the brain. Mutant mice overexpressing PN-1 in brain under
the control of the Thy-1 promoter (Thy 1/PN-1) or lacking PN-1
(PN-1 / ) were found to develop epileptic activity in
vivo and in vitro. Theta burst-induced long-term
potentiation (LTP) and NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in
the CA1 field of hippocampal slices were augmented in Thy 1/PN-1 mice
and reduced in PN-1 / mice. Compensatory changes in GABA-mediated
inhibition in Thy 1/PN-1 mice suggest that altered brain PN-1 levels
lead to an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic
transmission.
Key words:
protease nexin-1;
knock-out and transgenic mice;
long-term potentiation;
protease modulation;
epileptiform activity;
synaptical activity
