Fig. 3. P47phox and PKCζ are necessary for LTD.

Fig. 3

a Synaptic AMPAR-mediated currents (EPSCAMPA) are unchanged between p47phox shRNA-transfected cells and neighbouring untransfected cells (n = 13 pairs). Individual data points represent individual pairs of neurons. Red circles represent mean ± SEM. b LTD is abolished in neurons transfected with p47phox shRNA (filled circle, n = 9), whilst LTD is induced in untransfected cells (open circle, n = 8). c Synaptic AMPAR-mediated currents (EPSCAMPA) are unchanged between PKCζ shRNA-transfected cells and neighbouring untransfected cells (n = 16 pairs). Individual data points represent individual pairs of neurons. Red circles represent mean ± SEM. d LTD is abolished in neurons transfected with PKCζ shRNA (filled circle, n = 7), whilst LTD is induced in untransfected cells (open circle, n = 6). e Co-transfection of human p47phox with p47phox shRNA rescues the expression of LTD (filled circles, n = 7) to levels similar to untransfected cells (open circles, n = 7). f Immunoblots showing LFS-induced enhanced PKCζ phosphorylation at threonine 410 residue (pT410PKCζ; n = 5) and AP5 inhibition of LFS-induced pT410PKCζ (n = 5). g LTP was present in p47phox shRNA-transfected cells (filled circle, n = 7) and untransfected cells (open circle, n = 5). h LTP was readily induced in both PKCζ shRNA-transfected cells (filled circle, n = 7) and untransfected cells (open circle, n = 7). Data represents mean ± SEM. Asterisk (*) indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05)
