After axotomy, application of muscimol, a GABAA
receptor agonist, induced an increase in intracellular
Ca2+
([Ca2+]i) in dorsal motor
neurons of the vagus (DMV neurons). Elevation of
[Ca2+]i by muscimol was blocked by
bicuculline, tetrodotoxin, and Ni2+. In axotomized
DMV neurons measured with gramicidin perforated-patch recordings,
reversal potentials of the GABAA receptor-mediated response, presumably equal to the equilibrium potential of
Cl , were more depolarized than that in intact
neurons. Thus, GABAA receptor-mediated excitation is
suggested to be attributable to Cl efflux
out of the cell because of increased intracellular
Cl concentration
([Cl ]i) in axotomized
neurons. Regulation of [Cl ]i in both
control and injured neurons was disturbed by furosemide and bumetanide
and by manipulating cation balance across the membrane, suggesting that
functional alteration of furosemide-sensitive cation-Cl cotransporters is responsible for the
increase of [Cl ]i after axotomy.
In situ hybridization revealed that neuron-specific K+-Cl cotransporter (KCC2) mRNA
was significantly reduced in the DMV after axotomy compared with that
in control neurons. Similar expression of Na+,
K+-Cl
cotransporter mRNA was observed between axotomized and control DMV
neurons. Thus, axotomy led to disruption of
[Cl ]i regulation attributable to a
decrease of KCC2 expression, elevation of intracellular
Cl , and an excitatory response to GABA. A switch
of GABA action from inhibitory to excitatory might be a mechanism
contributing to excitotoxicity in injured neurons.
