We have recently shown that freshly isolated astrocytes from the mouse brain express mRNA for the L-channel gene Ca(V)1.3 to at least the same degree (per mg mRNA) as corresponding neurons. The amount of extracellular Ca2+ actually entering cultured astrocytes by its opening is modest, but due to secondary Ca2+-mediated stimulation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) the increase in free cytosolic Ca2+ [Ca2+](i) is substantial. The other Ca(V)1 subtype expressed in brain is Ca(V)1.2, which is even expressed in higher density. Although the different primers used for the two genes preclude exact quantitative comparison, the present study suggests that this is also the case in the freshly isolated astrocytes and neurons, which express equal Ca(V)1.2 densities. Again, most of the increase in [Ca2+](i) occurred by RyR activity. In contrast to Ca(V)1.3 the expression of Ca(V)1.2 was greatly increased (doubled) after two weeks of treatment with fluoxetine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg). Accordingly [Ca2+](i) in cultured astrocytes exposed to the addition of 10-60 mM KCl increased substantially in cultured astrocytes treated chronically with fluoxetine with the lag time until the effect was observed depending upon the fluoxetine concentration. This effect was inhibited by nifedipine or siRNA against Ca(V)1.2. The increase in K+-induced rise in [Ca2+](i) after fluoxetine treatment is directly opposite to a decrease in [Ca2+](i) after treatment with any of the anti-bipolar drugs lithium, carbamazepine or valproic acid, due to reduced capacitative Ca2+ influx. We have previously shown a similar effect after fluoxetine treatment, but it becomes overridden by the Ca(V)1.2 up-regulation. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
