AB  - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and the brain. Although this disease is characterized by motoneuron degeneration, non-neuronal cells such as oligodendrocytes play an important role in the disease onset and progression. The aim of our study was to examine functional properties of oligodendrocytes in the SOD1G93A rat model of ALS with a particular focus on the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4.1 that is abundantly expressed in these glial cells and plays a role in the regulation of extracellular K+ . First, we demonstrate that the expression of Kir4.1 is diminished in the spinal cord oligodendrocytes of the SOD1G93A rat. Moreover, our data show an elevated number of dysmorphic oligodendrocytes in the ALS spinal cord that is indicative of a degenerative phenotype. In order to assess physiological properties of oligodendrocytes, we prepared cell cultures from the rat spinal cord. Oligodendrocytes isolated from the SOD1G93A spinal cord display similar ramification of the processes as the control but express a lower level of Kir4.1. We further demonstrate an impairment of oligodendrocyte functional properties in ALS. Remarkably, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed compromised membrane biophysical properties and diminished inward currents in the SOD1G93A oligodendrocytes. In addition, the Ba2+ -sensitive Kir currents were decreased in ALS oligodendrocytes. Altogether, our findings provide the evidence of impaired Kir4.1 expression and function in oligodendrocytes of the SOD1G93A spinal cord, suggesting oligodendrocyte Kir4.1 channel as a potential contributor to the ALS pathophysiology.
