Abstract

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels participate in pacemaker currents, modulating the funny current (I[f]) incardiac cells and the hyperpolarization-activated current (I[h]) in neurons. Depending on the neuronal and synaptic localization, HCN channels regulate synaptic integration, long-term potentiation, synaptic transmission, and resting membrane potential. In summary, it contributes to the electrical activity between the excitatory and inhibitory stimuli through its shunting effect. Several second messengers modulateI(h) currents in the synapses by changing voltage-dependent activation kinetics. I(h) currents are being investigated in numerous centralnervous system disorders, including epilepsy. On one hand, it is well known that I(h) currents lead to synchronized oscillations in the rhythmicburst mode in thalamocortical neurons underlying the pathophysiology of absence epilepsy. However, much of the evidence is contradictory. Therefore, it is important to understand the dynamic relationship of HCN channels within the oscillatory networks to determine theregional “queerness” of I(h), and we need further investigation to determine if upregulation or downregulation of I(h) is needed in order tosuppress seizure activity.

Özet

Hiperpolarizasyon ile aktive olan siklik nükleotid kapılı kanallar (HCN) pacemaker akımlara katılırlar ve kalpte If nöronlarda ise Ih akımlarına aracılık ederler. Nöronal ve sinaptik yerleşimlerine göre, sinaptik entegrasyon, uzun dönemli potansiyalizasyon, sinaptik iletim ve dinlenim membran potansiyeli gibi faaliyetleri düzenlerler. Özetle, eksitatör ve inhibitör uyaranlar arasındaki elektriksel aktiviteye “şant etkisi” aracılığıyla katkıda bulunurlar. Bir takım ikinci haberciler, voltaja bağımlı aktivasyon kinetiklerini değiştirerek Ih akımlarını modüle ederler. Ih akımları epilepsi de dahil olmak üzere birçok merkezi sinir sistemi bozukluğunda incelenmektedir. Bir taraftan, Ih akımlarının absans epilepsisi patofizyolojisinin altında yatan mekanizma olan talamokortikal nöronlarda ritmik patlama modunda senkronize salınımlara yol açtığı iyi bilinmektedir. Ancak, elde edilen veriler birbiriyle çelişiyor görünmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu HCN kanallarının osilasyon şebekeleri içindeki dinamik ilişkisini anlamak, Ih akımlarının bölgeye özgü davranış kalıplarını anlamak ve nöbet aktivitesini baskılamak için temelde nasıl bir modülasyonunun gerektiğine karar vermek için daha fazla araştırmaya mı ihtiyacımız olduğu aşikardır.
