Descripción
Objectives: The aim of this work was to further investigate the effect of sera from sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients on miniature end-plate potentials (MEPP) frequency, by the mouse passive transfer model, and to study whether the transferred serum induces any change in the sensitivity of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC) to its specific blocker Nitrendipine. Methods: A total of 35 CF1 mice were divided into 3 groups: (a) ALS group receiving sera from 15 patients that had been clinically and electromyographycally diagnosed as having sporadic ALS; (b) normal group receiving sera from 13 healthy volunteers and from 3 disease control patients, and (c) control group, which was kept untreated. Animals in groups (a) and (b) received daily intraperitoneal injection of 0.5-1ml of serum for 3 days, and 24h later the left hemidiaphragm was excised for electrophysiological recordings. Results: Analysis of MEPPs frequency recorded from ALS group showed that 3 of them induced an increase in spontaneous neurotransmitter release while in 4 a decrease was observed, suggesting that sera alter spontaneous secretion as result of an increased or decreased Ca2+ influx through the normally involved N-type or L-type VDCC, respectively. When the effect of Nitrendipine, an L-type VDCC blocker, was studied on ALS sera-injected mice, we found variable responses to the drug: only two mice showed control sensitivity to Nitrendipine, while in 7 its action was lower and surprisingly in 4 was greater than that without the drug. Conclusions: These results suggest that ALS sera contain factor(s) that are able to modify spontaneous neurotransmitter release by altering calcium current through L-type and N-type VDCC, and even inducing changes in the sensitivity to the L-type VDCC blocker.
