| Abstract | Orexins, novel excitatory neuropeptides from the lateral hypothalamus, have been strongly implicated in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. In this study, we explored the effects and mechanisms of orexin A on intracellular free Ca$^{2+}$ concentration ([Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$) of freshly dissociated neurons from layers V and VI in prefrontal cortex (PFC). Changes in [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ were measured with fluo-4/AM using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results revealed that application of orexin A (0.1 ≈1 μM) induced increase of [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ in a dose-dependent manner. This elevation of [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ was completely blocked by pretreatment with selective orexin receptor 1 antagonist SB 334867. While depletion of intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ stores by the endoplasmic reticulum inhibitor thapsigargin (2 μM), [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ in PFC neurons showed no increase in response to orexin A. Under extracellular Ca$^{2+}$-free condition, orexin A failed to induce any changes of Ca$^{2+}$ fluorescence intensity in these acutely dissociated cells. Our data further demonstrated that the orexin A-induced increase of [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ was completely abolished by the inhibition of intracellular protein kinase C or phospholipase C activities using specific inhibitors, BIS II (1 μM) and D609 (10 μM), respectively. Selective blockade of L-type Ca$^{2+}$ channels by nifedipine (5 μM) significantly suppressed the elevation of [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ induced by orexin A. Therefore, these findings suggest that exposure to orexin A could induce increase of [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{i}$ in neurons from deep layers of PFC, which depends on extracellular Ca$^{2+}$ influx via L-type Ca$^{2+}$ channels through activation of intracellular PLC-PKC signaling pathway by binding orexin receptor 1. |

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.
