项目摘要
Project Summary
Alcohol has wide-reaching effects on the nervous system. The mechanism of action for alcohol is complex,
where alcohol interacts specifically and non-specifically with many targets (e.g. receptors, lipids, extra-cellular
matrix, protein function, etc.). However, the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the effects of alcohol on
different behaviors are poorly understood. Thus, more research is required to identify the key molecules
essential for different alcohol behaviors (sensitivity to sedation, withdrawal, tolerance, and drinking) that may
be targeted to yield new treatments. We focus here on the role of the BK channel, a calcium and voltage-gated
potassium channel, in behavioral responses to alcohol. The highly conserved BK potassium channel is a direct
target of ethanol that might be modified to reduce alcohol behaviors with minimal side effects. Unbiased
genetic screens revealed that the BK channel represented by far the most important ethanol target for
intoxication in Caenorhabditis elegans. Acute ethanol directly activates the BK channel to depress general
neuronal activity and behaviors in worm. The BK channel was subsequently implicated as important in various
behavioral responses to alcohol in flies, rodents and humans. New research also suggests that the channel
may be targeted in a way to minimize side effects. A novel BK channel mutation has been identified (T352I)
that prevents effects of intoxication and alcohol withdrawal in a C. elegans model. This mutation alters a single
residue that is conserved in worm, mouse and human BK channels. Patch-clamp recordings confirmed that the
human BK T352I channel was insensitive to activation by ethanol, but otherwise had normal conductance, K+
selectivity, and only subtle differences in voltage dependence. The T352I mutation may alter a binding site for
ethanol and/or interfere with ethanol-induced conformational changes critical for behavioral responses. These
results suggest that knocking in the T352I mutation in rodent models may alter ethanol-dependent behaviors
without causing gross behavioral impairments, which would advance our understanding of the role of the BK
channel in different ethanol-mediated behaviors. For this proposal, we will determine whether the BK channel
represents a major target of ethanol to modify behaviors in mammals. This will be done by performing
quantitative analysis of alcohol-related behaviors in our new mouse engineered with the BK T352I mutation via
CRISPR/Cas9; this mouse was generated with our collaborators Drs. John Pierce, Gregg Homanics, and
William Shawlot. We will test whether the T352I mutation reduces sensitivity to ethanol sedation, withdrawal,
tolerance, and drinking. We hypothesize that the reduced sensitivity seen in C. elegans carrying the T352I BK
mutation will be recapitulated in more complex but analogous behaviors in mutant mice. These studies have
the potential to determine whether the BK channel represents a major contributor across different alcohol
behaviors in mammals. They will also help elucidate the molecular role of the BK channel in alcohol withdrawal
and its potential as a treatment avenue during withdrawal.
