Figure Legend Snippet: PKC mediates a T channel gain of function during alcohol withdrawal. (A–C) Representative traces of T-type current inactivation curves for (A) Air, (B) WD, and (C) WD + PKC (−) groups, respectively, elicited at −50 mV from holding potentials ranging from −135 to −60 mV for 1 s (inset). (D, E) Alcohol WD produced a significant depolarizing shift in the inactivation curve of native T-type calcium current. The depolarizing shift was blocked by PKC peptide inhibitors, including PKC epsilon-specific inhibitors. (F) V 50 derived from the inactivation curve ~5 h. into the 4th alcohol WD in C57BL/6 mice was analyzed. The significant depolarizing shift for V 50 was blocked by the PKC peptide inhibitor (PKC (−), 10 μM). This inhibition was mimicked by specific PKCε isoform inhibitors (#530993, 539522; 5 μM) but not a PKCε translocation inhibitor inactive peptide (#539542; 5 μM). All drugs were delivered through the internal pipette solution. Statistics for V 50 showed F (6, 73) = 3.87, p = 0.0021 (One-Way ANOVA). In the plot * indicates p <0.05 and ** indicates p <0.01.

Figure Legend Snippet: Kinetic changes of T-channel during the application of PKC inhibitors recorded from the reuniens after 5 h into 4th alcohol withdrawal. (A, B) PKCε inhibitor (#530993, 5 μM) was applied through the bath solution, it significantly reduced rise time (A. paired t test, p = 0.0311, n = 6); increased rise slope (B. paired t test, p = 0.0266, n = 6); (C) Rise time did not show a significant main effect [ F (4, 53) = 2.205, p = 0.0809], although Dunnett’s post hoc test showed a significant difference between WD and WD plus PKCε (−), (#529522, p = 0.0223.* p <0.05). All drugs were delivered through the patch pipette internal solution, including the PKC peptide inhibitor (10 μM), and PKCε inhibitors (#530993, 5 μM; #539522, 5 μM).
Techniques Used: Transferring
Figure Legend Snippet: Midline thalamic neurons exhibit more spikes per low-threshold Ca 2+ burst during alcohol withdrawal. PKCε translocation inhibitor peptide (#539522) reduced the number of spikes/burst after 4th WD. (A–E) representative traces for the bursts elicited near resting membrane potential by prepulse negative current injection of −200 pA, 800 ms. (F) Statistics for the bursts induced by prepulse negative current injection of −200 pA. One-way ANOVA: F (4, 56) = 6.321, p = 0.0003, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test, WD and Control, p = 0.0013; WD and Air exposed, p = 0.0461; WD and WD + PKCε (−), p = 0.0469; WD and WD + PKCε inactive peptide, p = 0.9990. In the plots * indicates p <0.05, and ** indicates p <0.01.
Techniques Used: Translocation Assay, Membrane, Injection, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: T-current-mediated bursting was elicited near resting membrane potential from a series of hyperpolarizing prepulse current injections. Using a procedure analogous to the voltage clamp inactivation protocol (current injections started from 0 to −400 pA, −50 pA step, 500 ms of duration), we measured T-current-mediated bursting. Control (A) and air-exposed (B) conditions elicit 1–3 action potentials/burst. After the 4th WD (C), the cells responded with increased numbers of spikes/burst, which were reduced by the PKC ε inhibitor (D) but not the PKC ε inhibitor inactive peptide (E).
