An antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotide based on a conserved sequence in the three isoforms of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) was used to decrease expression of this Ca2+ transporter in primary neuronal cultures. Two AS oligo applications decreased NCX activity by similar to 40% within 12-24 h, and neither sense (S) or missense (MS) oligos altered NCX activity. The reduced NCX expression was confirmed by immunoblots and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Resting [Ca2+](i) levels were 20% higher in AS-treated neurons and showed a slower return to baseline levels following activation of Ca2+ influx by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). These results suggest that NCX plays a significant role in maintaining neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis and in restoring baseline Ca2+ levels following depolarization. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
