Techniques Used: Expressing

Injection of σ-1R agonists leads to an increase in GluN2 subunits and PSD-95 expression. A significant increase in protein expression of GluN2A, GluN2B, and PSD-95 was observed 90 min after intraperitoneal injection of vehicle (Veh) or SKF (A, B). Similar results were obtained 90 min after injection of PRE (C) or PTZ (D). There was no change in the expression level of AMPARs after SKF (E, F), PRE (G), or PTZ (H) injection. Bar graphs are mean ± SEM of at least five animals. *p < 0.05.

The increase in GluN2 subunits and PSD-95 expression after σ-1R activation is protein synthesis dependent. A, Representative WBs showing that the expression levels of GluN2A, GluN2B, and PSD-95 were unaffected by intraperitoneal injection of vehicle (Veh) or anisomycin (Aniso). However, there was a decrease in the expression level of c-Fos (B), demonstrating that anisomycin blocked protein synthesis at this time point. Interestingly, anisomycin treatment before SKF (C, D) or PTZ (E, F) administration prevented any change in expression levels of GluN2 subunits and PSD-95. Bar graphs are mean ± SEM of at least five animals. *p < 0.05.

A significant increase in GluN2A (C) and GluN2B (D) expression was observed in the VF and a significant increase in PSD-95 (E) in both VF and SMF after SKF administration. There is a decrease in expression in the PF for all three proteins investigated (C–E). Bar graphs are mean ± SEM of at least four animals. *p < 0.05.
