Activation of the PACAP/PAC1 Signaling Pathway Accelerates the Repair of Impaired Spatial Memory Caused by an Ultradian Light Cycle
The mechanism of light-induced spatial memory deficits, as well as whether rhythmic expression of the pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptides (PACAP)-PAC1 pathway influenced by light is related to this process, remains unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of the PACAP-PAC1 path...

description | The mechanism of light-induced spatial memory deficits, as well as whether rhythmic expression of the pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptides (PACAP)-PAC1 pathway influenced by light is related to this process, remains unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of the PACAP-PAC1 pathway in light-mediated spatial memory deficits. Animals were first housed under a T24 cycle (12 h light:12 h dark), and then light conditions were transformed to a T7 cycle (3.5 h light:3.5 h dark) for at least 4 weeks. The spatial memory function was assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM). In line with behavioral studies, rhythmic expression of the PAC1 receptor and glutamate receptors in the hippocampal CA1 region was assessed by western blotting, and electrophysiology experiments were performed to determine the influence of the PACAP-PAC1 pathway on neuronal excitability and synaptic signaling transmission. Spatial memory was deficient after mice were exposed to the T7 light cycle. Rhythmic expression of the PAC1 receptor was dramatically decreased, and the excitability of CA1 pyramidal cells was decreased in T7 cycle-housed mice. Compensation with PACAP1-38, a PAC1 receptor agonist, helped T7 cycle-housed mouse CA1 pyramidal cells recover neuronal excitability to normal levels, and cannulas injected with PACAP1-38 shortened the time to find the platform in MWM. Importantly, the T7 cycle decreased the frequency of AMPA receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents. In conclusion, the PACAP-PAC1 pathway is an important protective factor modulating light-induced spatial memory function deficits, affecting CA1 pyramidal cell excitability and excitatory synaptic signaling transmission. |
