Field stimulation results in subnuclear redistribution of Jacob that correlates with enhanced [Ca2+]n. a Schematic representation of pS180-Jacob-CREB PLA assay. bc Five-minute treatment of hippocampal neurons with 4AP/bicuculline (2,5 mM/ 50 μM) results in dramatic association of pS180-Jacob with CREB, as revealed by significant increase in PLA intensity within the nucleus. Panel b depicts maximum projection confocal image of cultured hippocampal neurons (DIV16) incubated with anti-pJacob (rb) and anti-CREB (ms) antibodies and proceeded for proximity ligation followed by labeling with anti-MAP2 antibodies and DAPI; Scale bar = 10 μm, ***p < 0.001 by t test. d Timeline of the experiment. e Confocal time-lapse images of hippocampal neuron overexpressing Jacob-GFP before and after field stimulation (18’’@50 Hz) showed an increase in fluorescent intensity at the nuclear matrix and a decrease in intensity at the nuclear envelope upon stimulation. f Graph represents averaged intensities of Jacob-GFP (n = 6). The blue line indicates the trace of fluorescent intensity changes within the nuclear matrix upon field stimulation; the orange line indicates the trace of fluorescent intensity changes at the nuclear lamina. gi Field stimulation (18 s@50 Hz) resulted in a simultaneous increase in nuclear calcium, reflecting the pattern of neuronal activity, and a rise in Jacob-CyRFP2 fluorescent intensity. g Confocal time-lapse images of hippocampal neuron overexpressing Jacob-CyRFP2 and loaded with Fluo-4 (AM). f Averaged normalized intensities of Jacob and Fluo-4 changes upon stimulation. i The plot indicates a high correlation between Jacob-CyRFP2 and Fluo-4 (AM) intensities changes upon LTP-like stimuli. Pearson r = 0.7997, p < 0.0001. j Graph represents induction of LTP with TBS in CA1 area of the hippocampus. kl TB stimulation induces significant association of pS180-Jacob with CREB as revealed by pJacob-CREB PLA. l ##p < 0.01, Nested t test m ##p < 0.01, Nested t test, n–p TB stimulation results in dissociation of Jacob from LaminB1. o #p < 0.05, Nested t test. p #p < 0.05, Nested t test. qr Neurons expressing Jacob at the nuclear lamina and neuronal nuclei characterized by enhanced expression of luciferase as compared to neurons expressing Jacob extranuclear. Schematic representation of the Activity-Responsive Element luciferase reporter (SARE-ArcMin-Luc) where SARE is fused upstream of TATA-containing sequence of the Arc. Panel q depicts maximum projection confocal images of cultured hippocampal neurons (DIV16) co-transfected with Jacob and SARE-ArcMin-Luc overnight followed by labeling with anti-Luciferase, anti-MAP2 antibodies and DAPI; scale bar = 10 μm, ***p < 0.001 by t test
