SAP97 is involved in D4 potentiation of AMPAR transmission in PFC pyramidal neurons at the low activity state. A, immunocytochemical staining of SAP97 or PSD95 (red) in cultured (14–16 or 21–24 days in vitro) PFC neurons transfected with SAP97 siRNA or a scrambled siRNA (co-transfected with GFP). Arrowheads point to GFP+ neurons. B, cumulative plots of the distribution of mEPSC amplitudes before (control) and after PD168077 application in scrambled siRNA-transfected or SAP97 siRNA-transfected PFC pyramidal neurons pretreated with TTX (0.5 μm, 2 h). Insets, representative mEPSC traces. Scale bars, 20 pA, 1 s. C, bar graphs (mean ± S.E. (error bars)) showing the percentage increase of mEPSC amplitude and frequency by PD168077 in TTX-pretreated PFC pyramidal neurons transfected with a scrambled siRNA or SAP97 siRNA. *, p < 0.001, ANOVA. D and E, plot of AMPAR-EPSC showing the effect of PD168077 in PFC pyramidal neurons (TTX-pretreated) injected with SSG peptide (50 μm) versus a scrambled control peptide (D), or anti-SAP97 (10 μg/ml) versus the heat-inactivated antibody (E). F, bar graphs (mean ± S.E.) showing the percentage change of AMPAR-EPSC by PD168077 in the presence of various agents. *, p < 0.001, ANOVA.
