Activation of the cAMP signaling pathway by ADCY3 improves epileptic epilepsy. (A) Behavioral observation in mice (Racine score), n = 10, *indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 group and the oe-NC group (p < 0.05), # indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 + RMI 12330A group and the oe-ADCY3 + DMSO group (p < 0.05). (B) Analysis of mouse EEG, Vertical arrows indicate the beginning and end of seizures in mice. (C) Frequency of epileptic epilepsy, n = 10, *indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 group and the oe-NC group (p < 0.05), # indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 + RMI 12330A group and the oe-ADCY3 + DMSO group (p < 0.05). (D,E) Expression levels of ADCY3, CREB, pCREB, cAMP, and PKA in mice as detected by Western Blot and ELISA, n = 6, *indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 group and the oe-NC group (p < 0.05), ns indicates no difference between the oe-ADCY3 + RMI 12330A group and the oe-ADCY3 + DMSO group (p > 0.05). (F) Detection of sIPSC using electrophysiological techniques, scale bar, 100 ms and 1,000 pA, n = 20 neurons, bar graph (right) represents frequency and amplitude. (G) Detection of eIPSC using electrophysiological techniques, scale bar, 2 s and 20 pA, n = 20 neurons, bar graph (right) represents amplitude. (H) Measurement of the relative intensity changes of calcium ions in different groups of mice neurons using calcium imaging techniques (scale bar = 25 μm), n = 10 cells, *indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 group and the oe-NC group (p < 0.05), # indicates difference between the oe-ADCY3 + RMI 12330A group and the oe-ADCY3 + DMSO group (p < 0.05).
