| Abstract | The potent cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN 55,212-2 produces positive shifts in steady-state inactivation of the potassium A current (I A) in rat hippocampal neurons via an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-, protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent process. This effect is probably mediated by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of the I A channel protein. The role of protein phosphorylation in this cascade was tested by testing cannabinoid actions in cultured hippocampal neurons (pyramidal cells) that were exposed also to either the catalytic subunit of PKA (PKAc), a PKA-specific phosphorylation inhibitor (IP-20, Walsh peptide), or a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor (okadaic acid). Cannabinoids such as WIN 55,212-2 produce a positive (rightwards) shift in the steady-state inactivation of I A, thus providing increased current at a given membrane voltage. Cells dialyzed with PKAc showed a negative shift in I A inactivation, opposite to that produced by cannabinoids, and similar to that produced by increased levels of cAMP. In addition, PKAc completely blocked the positive shift produced by WIN 55,212-2. In contrast, dialysis of cells with IP-20 produced a positive shift in steady state inactivation of I A, similar to that produced by WIN, but the effects were not additive with cannabinoid receptor activation. The phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid produced a small negative shift in I A steady-state inactivation when administered alone, and blocked the positive shift produced by WIN 55,212-2. Okadaic acid also enhanced the negative shift in I A inactivation when co-administered with forskolin. The effects of okadaic acid and WIN 55,212-2 were not additive, suggesting a common pathway. These results demonstrate that I A is altered by direct manipulations of the phosphorylation status of the channel protein, and that cannabinoid effects on I A are probably mediated by dephosphorylation of the I A channel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
