DAPT prolongs SOCE in DRG neurons. Neurons were treated in culture with the indicated concentration of DAPT or DMSO (control) for 48 hours. Cells were washed for 15 minutes before beginning the recording. Both wash and recording periods are in the absence of vehicle or drug. (A) DAPT inhibited transactivation of CBF1 luciferase. * p<0.05, 100 μM DAPT compared to sham. (B) Representative [Ca2+]i traces for control neurons (n=9) and neurons treated with 100 μM DAPT (n=17) were normalized to the peak [Ca2+]i and overlaid. (C) Bar graph summarizes the effects of 48 hr treatment with 100 μM DAPT on the [Ca2+]i measured after 2000 s in CPA (5 μM). *p<0.05, DAPT-treated (100 μM) compared to control.
