Abstract

The ClC-2 Cl- channel has been postulated to play a role in the inhibitory GABA response in neurons or to participate in astrocyte-dependent extracellular electrolyte homeostasis. Three different mutations in the CLCN2 gene, encoding the voltage-dependent homodimeric ClC-2 channel, have been associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). We study their function in vitro by patch clamp and confocal microscopy in transiently transfected HEK-293 cells. A first mutation predicts a premature stop codon (M200fsX231). An altered splicing, due to an 11-bp deletion in intron 2 (IVS2-14del11), predicts exon 3 skipping (Delta74-117). A third is a missense mutation (G715E). M200fsX231 and Delta74-117 are nonfunctional and do not affect the function of the normal (wild type, WT) channel. Neither M200fsX231 nor Delta74-117 reach the plasma membrane. Concerning the IVS2-14del11 mutation, we find no difference in the proportion of exon-skipped to normally spliced mRNA using a minigene approach and, on this basis, predict no alteration in channel expression in affected individuals. G715E has voltage dependence and intracellular Cl- dependence indistinguishable from WT channels. ClC-2 channels are shown to be sensitive to intracellular r...Continue Reading
