1 Defective glutamate and K+ clearance by cortical astrocytes in familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 Daniela Pietrobon Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova CNR Institute of Neuroscience
2 Migraine Common: it affects 17% of women and 8% of men in the European population Disabling: it is ranked by WHO as one of the 20 most disabling diseases Costly: 18.5 billion Euros/year (it mainly affects people in their working and child-bearing years)
3 The development of migraine pain depends on the activation and sensitization of the trigeminovascular sensory afferents innervating the meninges
4 Most migraine attacks start in the brain Migraine is a brain disorder --Hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli and abnormal processing of sensory information in the period between migraine attacks --Migraine triggers (strong sensory stimulation, stress, sleep deprivation, oversleeping, hunger) -- Premonitory symptoms (e.g. difficulty with speech and/or reading, increased emotionality, sensory hypersensitivity) --Migraine aura: transient neurological disturbances most frequently visual precede the headache in 30% of patients
5 Migraine aura is caused by cortical spreading depression (CSD) B Visual aura CSD CSD is a self-sustaining wave of near complete depolarization of a sizable population of brain cells that lasts 1-2 min. CSD slowly propagates across the cortex at a typical rate of 2-5 mm/min. Experimental CSD can be induced in healthy tissue by depolarizing stimuli (e.g. focal electrical stimulation or high KCl application) that increase [K]e above a critical threshold

13 CENTRAL OPEN QUESTION What makes the brain of migraineurs susceptible to CSD ignition? What are the cortical mechanisms leading to facilitation of experimental CSD in FHM2 knockin mice?
14 In FHM1 knockin mice with gain-of-function of Ca V 2.1 (P/Q-type calcium) channels and enhanced neuronal P/Q-type calcium current : i) facilitation of CSD induction and propagation (van den Maagdenger et al, Neuron 2004; Tottene et al, Neuron 2009) ii) enhanced excitatory synaptic transmission at cortical pyramidal cell synapses due to enhanced glutamate release (Tottene et al, Neuron, 2009; Vecchia et al, Neurobiol Dis 2015 ) iii) cause-effect relationship between enhanced glutamatergic transmission at cortical synapses and facilitation of initiation and propagation of experimental CSD (Tottene et al, Neuron 2009)
15 Astrocyte 3Na + 1K + GLU Hypothesis: reduced expression of α2 Na, K ATPase in W887R/+ FHM2 KI mice results in reduced rate of clearance of synaptically released glutamate at cortical excitatory synapses and hence in excessive cortical glutamatergic transmission ATP 2K + Ca V stimulating electrode
16 patch-clamp electrode voltage-clamp V = -90mV Astrocyte Hypothesis: reduced expression of α2 Na, K ATPase in W887R/+ FHM2 KI mice results in reduced rate of clearance of synaptically released glutamate at cortical excitatory synapses and hence in excessive cortical glutamatergic transmission 3Na + ATP 2K + 1K + GLU GLU Ca V stimulating electrode
17 The time courseof the synaptically-activated glutamate transporter current (STC) elicited in astrocytes upon neuronal stimulation provides a measure of the rate of glutamate clearance by astrocytes patch-clamp electrode voltage-clamp V = -90mV Astrocyte Hypothesis: reduced expression of α2 Na, K ATPase in W887R/+ FHM2 KI mice results in reduced rate of clearance of synaptically released glutamate at cortical excitatory synapses and hence in excessive cortical glutamatergic transmission 3Na + ATP 2K + 1K + GLU GLU Ca V stimulating electrode
18 The synaptically-activated glutamate transporter current (STC) is the rapidly decaying TBOA-sensitive component of the current elicited in astrocytes by neuronal stimulation. The time constant of decay of the STC gives a measure of the rate of glutamate clearance by astrocytes. patch-clamp electrode voltage-clamp V = - 90mV Stimulation TBOA b a STC 10 pa 10 pa 20 ms 20 ms 3Na + ATP 10 pa 20 ms 2K + 1K + GLU 20 ms GLU stimulating electrode a-b t decay = 6.5 ms 10 pa 20 ms Ca V
19 The rate of glutamate clearance by astrocytes in heterozygous +/R887 FHM2 knockin mice is slower than in wild-type mice.

42 Working hypothesis FHM mutations enhance cortical excitatory synaptic transmission without altering inhibitory synaptic transmission Functional alterations in the neuronal circuits that dynamically maintain the balance between excitation and inhibition during cortical activity Dysfunctional regulation of cortical E/I balance In certain conditions (cf migraine triggers): Overexcitation Network hyperactivity Abnormal elevation of [K]e, Excessive activation of NMDARs Susceptibility to CSD
43 FS PYR PYR SOM+ FHM mutations may increase the recruitment of interneurons and thus increase inhibition (besides excitation). What is the net effect on E/I balance and network activity?
44 In FHM, the E/I balance may or not be maintained within physiological limits depending on the brain state and the type of stimuli. consistent with the episodic nature of the disease

47 During short trains of APs, increased recruitment of FS interneurons subsides, but increased recruitment of SOM interneurons persists. In FHM1, the excitatory-inhibitory balance may be maintained within physiological limits or may tip towards excitation depending on the cortical network state of activity and the type of stimuli. consistent with the episodic nature of the disease
48 Cortical spreading depression may activate trigeminal nociception and the headache mechanisms --- A single CSD can lead to a long-lasting increase in ongoing activity of meningeal trigeminal nociceptors and central trigeminovascular neurons in the TNC (Zhang et al, 2010 J Neurosci; 2011 Ann Neurol.), possibly by inducing parenchimal inflammatory cascades reaching glia limitans (Karatas et al, 2013 Science). Cf. also previous more indirect evidence (e.g. Bolay et al, 2002 Nat Med). Repeated CSDs cause pain-related facial mimics in freely moving mice (Karatas et al 2013 Science) --- The threshold for CSD induction by electrical stimulation in vivo is: a) increased after treatment with five different migraine preventive drugs (Ayata et al., 2006 Ann Neurol) b) decreased in mouse models of familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) (van den Maagdenberg et al, 2004 Neuron; 2010 Ann Neurol; Leo et al, 2011 Plos Genet)
