Cerebellar Purkinje cells develop the most elaborate dendritic trees among neurons in the brain. To examine the role of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) IIα, IIβ and IV in the dendritic differentiation of Purkinje cells, we introduced siRNA against theseCaMKsinto Purkinje cells in cerebellar cell cultures using a single-cell electroporation technique. Single-cell electroporation enables us to transfer siRNA into specific cells within a heterogeneous cell population. In addition, we can easily and reliably transfer multiple types of siRNA into a cell simply by loading them together in one micropipette. Any one of the siRNA againstCaMKIIα, IIβandIV(single knockdown) or any combinations of two of the siRNA against theseCaMKs(double knockdown) had no significant effects on the dendritic differentiation of Purkinje cells. However, the combination of all three siRNA against theseCaMKs(triple knockdown) inhibited the branching of Purkinje cell dendrites. Furthermore, the triple knockdown reduced the phosphorylation of CREB in Purkinje cells. These findings suggest the promotion of dendritic differentiation of Purkinje cells by CaMKIIα, IIβ and IV and the possible involvement of phosphorylation of CREB as a common substrate of these CaMKs.
