We used dissociated rat DRG neurons for investigating virally induced loss of excitability and the ionic currents underlying these changes. Dissociated DRG neurons in vitro are a good model for studying ionic changes, as they maintain their excitability in culture and their ionic currents have been well characterized (for review see Pearce and Duchen, 1994). Here, we report a profound, rapid, and selective loss of voltage-dependent sodium currents 2024 h after infection. The cellular regulation of sodium channel expression and turnover is not well understood. Using a sodium channel antibody and confocal microscopy, we visualized a change in the distribution of sodium channels; specifically a loss of sodium channels from the plasma membrane that exactly correlated with the loss of excitability. Although sodium channel redistribution during development has been reported (Dargent et al., 1994; Paillart et al., 1996; Vabnick et al., 1996), there is little description of the molecular mechanism underlying these changes in channel distribution. Here, we examined the role of membrane internalization in the process of sodium channel removal from the plasma membrane. We show that blocking internalization with endosome-neutralizing agents such as bafilomycin A1 (Bowman et al., 1988) prevented the HSV-induced loss of sodium currents.
The viral proteins that interfere with normal sodium channel trafficking are unknown. HSV expresses a neurovirulence factor encoded by the infected cell protein (ICP) 34.5 gene that has been shown to be important for enhancing viral pathogenicity in neurons, and increased the ability of HSV-1 to cause death in infected animals (Poon and Roizman, 1997). Because of these features, HSV genomes lacking the neurovirulence factor ICP 34.5 are often used as the backbone for viral vectors used in gene therapy. We tested the role of the neurovirulence factor on sodium channel density during an HSV infection. We found that infection with mutant viruses lacking both copies of the ICP34.5 gene prevented the characteristic loss of sodium currents observed during wild-type infections.

Sodium currents
For this study, we used dissociated rat DRG neurons without neurites. We recorded from neurons either immediately after dissociation (412 h) or from replated neurons for comparison with HSV-infected neurons that do not produce neurites. Fig. 1 a shows a sodium current recorded from an uninfected DRG neuron and the response of a neuron infected with HSV-1 for 24 h using a voltage step from -80 to +10 mV. At this time after infection, only 24% (51/210) of neurons showed a sodium current, and the normalized amplitude of the residual current in the 51 responding neurons was smaller than in uninfected neurons (HSV, -0.048 ± 0.008 nA/pF [n = 51]; control, -0.14 ± 0.006 nA/pF [n = 171]). The time course of the loss of sodium current is illustrated in Fig. 1 b. No change in the sodium current amplitude was noted over the first 220 h after infection. The sodium current reduction was maximal after 24 h of infection and maintained until at least 48 h. The cell capacitance and input resistance of uninfected, control neurons did not significantly differ from infected neurons at any of the measured time points after infection (input resistance, HSV 24 h, 84 ±10 m [n = 35]; control, 121 ± 20 m
[n = 37]; cell capacitance, HSV 24 h, 30 ± 2 pF [n = 35]; and control 33 ± 3 pF [n = 37]).

Calcium currents
Low voltageactivated (LVA) and high voltageactivated (HVA) calcium currents in uninfected neurons and in neurons infected with HSV-1 for 24 h were compared. The two components of the calcium current were separated on the basis of their activation and inactivation properties as described in Materials and methods (Fig. 3 a). HVA calcium currents were recorded in all infected and uninfected neurons studied, and the normalized mean amplitude in infected neurons (-0.043 ± 0.009 nA/pF) did not significantly differ from that in uninfected neurons (-0.056 ± 0.001 nA/pF; Fig. 3 b). Similarly, the percentage of neurons with LVA calcium currents (uninfected, 25% [9/36]; infected, 17%, [4/24]) and the mean-normalized current amplitudes (uninfected, -0.032 ± 0.007 nA/pF; infected, -0.034 ± 0.015 nA/pF) were not significantly altered by HSV-1 infection (Fig. 3 b).

Outwardly rectifying potassium currents
The broad action potentials recorded in current-clamp mode could reflect a reduction in delayed rectifier potassium currents. Potassium currents were accordingly investigated under voltage-clamp conditions. Although several distinct types of potassium currents have been described for DRG neurons, we separated the outward potassium current into two components: (1) a low threshold current that inactivated during a 40-ms depolarizing voltage step from -80 to -50 mV, and (2) a relatively sustained current that showed little or no inactivation over this period. The two currents were isolated by subtraction of the current evoked by a voltage step from -50 to +10 mV from the current evoked by a step from -80 mV to the same test potential (Fig. 4 a). After a 24-h infection with HSV-1, all neurons studied showed both inactivating and "sustained" outward currents, and no significant differences (P > 0.2) were noted in the amplitudes of the normalized current amplitudes (Fig. 4 b). Current-voltage relationships for the total potassium currents constructed from the tail currents after a 15-ms depolarizing pulse to a range of test potentials (from -90 to +40 mV; traces, Fig. 4 c) are shown in Fig. 4 d. No significant difference in voltage sensitivity of activation was noted between uninfected and HSV-1infected neurons (V50 uninfected, -26.8 ± 1.9 mV [n = 25]; HSV, -23.7 ± 1.7 mV [n = 11]). Similarly, the availability curves (Fig. 4 d) constructed from the current responses evoked by a voltage step to +45 mV after a 1-s prepulse to a range of potentials (from -120 to 0 mV) showed no difference between uninfected and HSV-1infected neurons (V50 uninfected, -64.7 ± 1.2 mV [n = 25]; HSV-1, -63.8 ± 1.5 mV [n = 11]).

Localization of sodium channel subunits in DRG neurons
The loss of sodium conductance after 24 h of HSV infection could be a result of a redistribution of the sodium channels of DRG neurons. Sodium channel distribution was studied in HSV-infected and uninfected DRG neurons by immunofluorescence. Total-cell (left) and cross sectional (right) confocal images of the sodium channel subunit staining pattern are shown for two examples of uninfected DRG neurons (Fig. 5 a), and for two examples of neurons infected with HSV-1 for 24 h (Fig. 5 b). The uninfected DRG neurons showed a diffuse, bright staining pattern with clear plasma membrane staining. The HSV-1infected neurons showed duller staining without obvious plasma membrane localization. The mean density of fluorescence was quantified for HSV-1infected and uninfected neurons from the total-cell images as shown in Fig. 5 c. The background mean fluorescence density was measured in the area between cells. Sodium channel staining was significantly less throughout HSV-1infected neurons than in control, uninfected neurons. Control staining was performed by omitting the primary antibody; no staining was observed when the primary antibody was omitted.

Role of HSV-1 infection
A late process in viral maturation is the envelopment and egress of the virus. We investigated the effect of brefeldin A, a compound that inhibits viral envelopment and egress by collapsing the trans-Golgi network, but has no effect on the internalization processes of the host cell (Koyama and Uchida, 1994). DRG neurons were infected with HSV-1 for 1 h to allow for virus adsorption and penetration. Infected and control cells were incubated in brefeldin A for 24 h. Uninfected neurons treated with 1 µM brefeldin A possessed sodium currents of normal amplitude. Furthermore, exposure to brefeldin A did not affect the loss of sodium currents after HSV-1 infection (Fig. 7).

HSV-1 gene expression is a tightly regulated temporal cascade beginning with viral immediate early genes that encode mainly transcription factors, followed by viral early genes that encode proteins predominantly with a role in DNA replication, and finally, viral late genes that encode late proteins involved in viral maturation (Honess and Roizman, 1974). Inhibition of viral DNA synthesis with the viral-specific inhibitor acyclovir results in accumulation of early proteins in the infected cells and no expression of late proteins (Holland et al., 1980). We treated infected neurons with acyclovir to determine whether late proteins play a role in the virally induced loss of sodium currents. All infected neurons treated with acyclovir had a sodium current. Representative currents elicited by a step depolarization from -80 to +10 mV are shown in Fig. 8 a. TTX-S and TTX-Rnormalized current amplitudes of uninfected acyclovir-treated and HSV-1infected acyclovir-treated neurons did not differ significantly (P > 0.1; Fig. 8, b and c), and were significantly larger than the corresponding normalized currents of infected neurons (P < 0.0001 in all cases).

In contrast to sodium currents, the calcium and potassium currents were unaffected after HSV-1 infection. The results described here differ from the findings of Mayer (1986) who showed that the inwardly rectifying potassium currents were lost when DRG neurons were infected with nonsyncytial strains of HSV-1. In the present study, DRG neurons infected with the nonsyncytial strain, wt HSV 17+, showed inwardly rectifying potassium currents of similar amplitude to those of uninfected neurons. It is possible that the disparity between our results is due to sampling differences, as it has recently been shown that the inwardly rectifying potassium currents are found predominantly in large-diameter DRG neurons (Scroggs et al., 1994), and care was taken in our study to include larger neurons in the sample.
We investigated possible mechanisms for the loss of sodium conductance in virally infected cells. Direct observation of the localization of sodium channels in DRG neurons infected with HSV-1 for 24 h showed a decrease in sodium channel immunoreactivity. The redistribution of sodium channels was demonstrated by a notable reduction in plasma membrane staining. The regulation of sodium channel expression and turnover is not well understood. Here, we show that infected neurons retained their sodium conductance when internalization was inhibited with bafilomycin A1 or chloroquine that neutralize endosomes. Internalization may occur in an ubiquitin-dependent manner, as voltage-gated sodium channels contain a conserved ubiquitination site (Abriel et al., 2000), and many cellular proteins of HSV-infected cells are targeted for destruction by modification of the ubiquitinproteosome pathway (Everett, 2000). Further experiments will be required to determine the role of ubiquitination in the down-regulation of sodium channels in sensory neurons. We suggest the density of voltage-gated sodium channels in the plasma membrane is dynamic, and could control excitability in adult sensory neurons in response to appropriate stimuli. This redistribution of sodium channels may occur by a similar mechanism to those seen in developmental reorganization of sodium channels at the nodes of Ranvier or in activity-induced internalization and degradation in cultured fetal neurons (Dargent et al., 1994; Paillart et al., 1996; Vabnick et al., 1996). Interestingly, this effect of HSV-1 seemed to be dependent on the presence of sodium in the culture media, although the underlying mechanism is unclear (Bevan and Storey, 2002). It is worth noting that in addition to the loss of sodium channel staining in the plasma membrane after 24 h of HSV infection, the cytoplasmic sodium channel density was also decreased. We did not observe any neurons "in the act" of internalization, and this is possibly a reflection of the fact that the sodium channels were degraded rapidly after internalization. To clarify the fate of internalized sodium channels, further analysis of labeled sodium channel proteins would be required.
One possible explanation for the loss of surface sodium channels is that HSV-1 infection inhibits synthesis and/or export of channels to the plasma membrane by virus-induced inhibition of host cell protein synthesis, while allowing normal internalization of the surface channels. Although there are no data available for DRG neurons, it has been estimated that surface sodium channels turn over with a half-life of 50 h (Schmidt and Catterall, 1986), which is slower than the sodium current loss observed in our experiments. Furthermore, the observation that inhibiting DRG neuronal protein synthesis with cycloheximide for 24 h had no effect on sodium current density makes this explanation unlikely and suggests that HSV-1 must accelerate the normal process of internalization.
We investigated the viral proteins and processes that occur during an infection that could interfere with the dynamic regulation of sodium channels. Taking advantage of the fact that late gene expression is strictly dependent on viral DNA replication (Holland et al., 1980), we were able to infect neurons with HSV in the presence of a viral DNA replication inhibitor (acyclovir) that allows the accumulation of HSV early proteins without the expression of late genes. We found that loss of sodium conductance was dependent on a viral late protein or process. However, the loss of sodium conductance was not dependent on the late process of viral envelopment or egress because brefeldin A, which collapses the trans Golgi apparatus and prevents viral maturation, did not prevent the loss of sodium conductance. Furthermore, we have shown that the HSV neurovirulence factor, late protein ICP34.5, was necessary for the virally induced loss of sodium conductance. This is consistent with reports that viral late proteins are abundant in the neurons 24 h after infection. Late genes are expressed at 12 h after infection of nonneuronal cells in vitro (Honess and Roizman, 1974), and in neurons in vivo, late proteins are expressed 24 h after detection of viral DNA at the DRG somata (Margolis et al., 1992). The molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of ICP34.5 on the internalization of sodium channels is unclear. It has recently been shown that ICP34.5 binds to protein phosphatase 1, which has an essential role in intracellular trafficking (Peters et al., 1999; Mao and Rosenthal, 2002). The internalization of another ion channel (ROMK1) is increased when protein phosphatase activity is inhibited (Sterling et al., 2002). The role of phosphatase 1 on the regulation of sodium channel density is an interesting topic for further study. Although it is possible that ICP34.5 is directly responsible for the loss of sodium conductance, there are many putative effects of infection with ICP34.5 deletion mutants, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the failure to affect sodium conductance could be because of reduced replication efficiency (MacLean et al., 1991), changes in the apoptotic status of the neuron (Poon and Roizman, 1997), or a decrease in the level of latency-associated transcripts (Spivack et al., 1995). The properties of the ICP34.5 mutant are particularly interesting, as a viral vector generated from an ICP34.5-null backbone has been used in human gene therapy (Rampling et al., 2000), and it is of particular importance that such a vector does not alter the excitability of the recipient neurons.
In summary, infection of sensory neurons with HSV-1 led to the internalization of sodium channels from the plasma membrane that resulted in a loss of excitability. In contrast, the voltage-dependent properties of potassium and calcium currents were unaffected by viral infection. We suggest that a late protein, possibly ICP34.5, has a role in targeting sodium channels for degradation, potentially by ubiquitination or by increasing the rate of internalization by interacting with protein phosphatase 1. By observing the electrophysiological changes during a viral infection, we have revealed a novel level of regulation of excitability in adult DRG neurons by the rapid internalization of sodium channels.

For culture, the neurons were plated onto sterile 13-mm glass coverslips previously coated with 10 µg/ml poly-D-ornithine and 5 µg/ml laminin (GIBCO BRL), and were maintained at 37°C in a humidified incubator gassed with 3% CO2 in air overnight. In experiments where neurons were replated, the cells were first plated onto 35-mm petri dishes (Nunc) previously coated with poly-D-ornithine and laminin at a density of 2 x 104 neurons/plate. In order that all the neurons studied had the same morphology (i.e., no neurite outgrowth) neurons were studied either 412 h after dissociation or 212 h after replating. The replating step provided a population of neurons that were spherical and without obvious neurites. When the neurons were needed for study, they were aspirated from the petri dish and plated onto 13-mm coverslips coated with poly-D-ornithine and laminin.
Viral DNA replication was inhibited by addition of 50 µM acyclovir (Calbiochem) to the cultures for 24 h. Sodium channel internalization was investigated by incubating the neurons in medium containing internalization inhibitors (either 1 µM bafilomycin A1 or 100 µM chloroquine; Bowman et al., 1988). Protein synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide (50 µg ml-1). Viral envelopment and egress was inhibited with 1 µM brefeldin A (Koyama and Uchida, 1994). The inhibitors were added to the culture medium 1 h after infection with HSV, to allow time for viral attachment and adsorption, and were present for the subsequent 23 h of infection.
Electrophysiology
DRG neurons were voltage-clamped in the whole-cell configuration with a patch-clamp amplifier (Axopatch 200A; Axon Instruments, Inc.). An IBM-compatible personal computer (model 486; Dell) was used for data acquisition and pulse generation using pCLAMP software (Axon Instruments, Inc.). Borosilicate patch pipettes were pulled from 1.5-mm external diameter glass fiber-filled capillaries (model GC150-F10; Clark Electromedical) in a three-stage pull using a micropipette puller (P-80 Flaming/Brown; Sutter Instrument Co.). The pipettes were fire polished and had a final resistance of 25 M when filled. Pipette and membrane capacitance were compensated through the use of the circuitry on the amplifier, and series resistance compensation (
80%) was used. The DRG neurons were 2050 µm in diameter. DRG neurons vary significantly in sodium channel expression depending on neuron size, so we studied a wide distribution of neuron sizes for both infected and uninfected populations. Sodium currents were recorded using a pipette solution composed of the following (mM): 130 CsCl, 10 NaCl, 10 EGTA, 1 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, and 10 Hepes, pH 7.2, and an extracellular solution composed of 30 mM NaCl, 100 mM choline chloride, 20 mM tetraethylammonium chloride, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM Hepes, 40 mM sucrose, and 10 µM CaCl2, pH 7.4.
Except where stated, the total sodium current was evoked by a 13-ms voltage step from the holding potential (-80 mV) to a command potential of +10 mV. The TTX-S and TTX-R sodium currents were separated electrophysiologically on the basis of their different inactivation properties (Elliott and Elliott, 1993). In this protocol, the combined TTX-R and TTX-S sodium current was evoked by a 10-ms depolarizing command step to +10 mV from a prepulse potential of -120 mV, and then the TTX-R sodium current was evoked from a prepulse potential of -50 mV. The TTX-S sodium current was obtained by subtracting the TTX-R current from the total combined sodium current. Activation curves were obtained from families of sodium currents generated after a prepulse to either -120 mV (TTX-S) or -50 mV (TTX-R) followed by 10-ms duration, 5-mV step depolarizations from -50 to +25 mV.
Calcium currents were recorded using an intracellular, pipette-filling solution composed of the following (mM): 130 CsCl, 25 Hepes, 1 Na-GTP, 3 Mg-ATP, and 10 EGTA, pH 7.2, and an external bath solution containing (mM): 120 tetraethylammonium Cl, 10 Hepes, 10 glucose, and 5 CaCl2, pH 7.2. The LVA and HVA calcium currents were separated electrophysiologically on the basis of their inactivation properties. The HVA calcium current was measured by first applying a depolarizing step to -40 mV that inactivated the LVA current, followed by a second depolarizing step to 0 mV that evoked only the HVA calcium current. Activation curves were obtained from calcium currents evoked by a series of 360-ms duration pulses to command potentials ranging from -80 to +40 mV. The steady-state availability characteristics of the calcium channel currents were investigated with a protocol that elicited currents with a 320-ms duration command pulse to -10 mV, after 320-ms duration prepulses that ranged from -100 to +15 mV.
Delayed rectifier-type potassium currents were recorded with a pipette solution containing (mM) 130 KCl, 10 KF, 5 EGTA, 2 MgCl2, and 10 Hepes, pH 7.4, and a bath solution containing (mM) 130 choline chloride, 10 Hepes, 10 glucose, 1.2 NaHCO3, 3 KCl, 0.6 MgCl2, and 2.5 CoCl2, pH 7.2. A variety of voltage protocols was used to investigate the outward potassium currents. The total potassium current was evoked with a 40-ms depolarizing step to 10 mV from a prepulse potential of -80 mV. Noninactivating-type potassium currents were evoked after a 60-ms prepulse to -50 mV by a test pulse of 40-ms duration to +10 mV. Activation curves were obtained from potassium currents evoked by 15-ms duration pulses to potentials ranging from -90 to + 40 mV from a prepulse potential of -120 mV, after which the voltage was stepped back to -40 mV. Currents evoked by a step to +45 mV after a series of prepulses from -120 to 0 mV were used to study the steady-state availability of the inactivating component of the potassium currents.
The inwardly rectifying potassium currents were recorded using a pipette solution containing the following (mM): 130 KCl, 11 EGTA, 1 CaCl2, and 7.5 Hepes, and a bath solution of (mM) 140 NaCl, 4 KCl, 2 MgCl2, 10 Hepes, and 10 glucose. A hyperpolarizing step from -70 to -120 mV for 900-ms was used to generate a single inwardly rectifying potassium current, and families of currents were generated by a series of 1-s duration hyperpolarizing steps from -50 to -140 mV.
All experiments were performed at RT, typically 22°C. All current traces were leak-subtracted except for the recordings of inward rectifier currents. The currents recorded were normalized for cell size (capacitance is proportional to membrane area; nA/pF). All chemicals were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich unless otherwise stated. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Results were statistically tested with Tukey's post hoc analysis after analysis of variance, t test (parametric tests), or the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test followed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov pairwise comparison (nonparametric test). In each experiment, treated neurons were compared with control neurons from the same preparations and platings to avoid possible differences between batches of cells. Possible differences in proportions of neurons expressing currents were analyzed by the 2 test. The results were considered significantly different when P < 0.05.
Preparation and use of viral stocks
Wt HSV 17+ (Brown et al., 1973) was used in this study. Wt HSV 17+ was routinely propagated in cells of the baby hamster kidney C 13 line (MacPhearson and Stoker, 1962), which were grown in DME (GIBCO BRL) with 10% FCS (GIBCO BRL) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (GIBCO BRL). Wt HSV 17+ was collected from the culture after a series of rapid-freeze thaw cycles and was titrated on Vero cells (an African green monkey kidney cell line) grown in RPMI 1640 with 10% FCS, 1% penicillin, 1% streptomycin and 2% sodium bicarbonate (GIBCO BRL).
Infection of neurons with wt HSV 17+ was titrated either with an mAb against immediate early protein ICP-4 or by observation of morphological characteristics. DRG neurons infected with wt HSV 17+ showed no neurite outgrowth after 24 h of infection. An infection of 5 plaque-forming units (pfu)/DRG was sufficient to infect 96% of the neurons in the culture. This was the lowest amount of virus that infected essentially all of the neurons in culture: 1 pfu/neuron resulted in 55% infection efficiency, and 50 pfu/neuron provided no further improvement (97%) than 5 pfu/neuron. We were convinced that all DRG neurons were infected by 5 pfu/neuron, as infected neurons did not grow neurites, and it was clear that essentially all of the population was infected. Also, indirect immunofluorescence of viral proteins or infection with a virus that contains the LacZ gene were used to show that 5 pfu/neuron was sufficient to infect the majority of neurons in the population. In addition, we restricted all experiments to wt HSV 17+-treated neurons without neurites to maximize the probability that only infected neurons were studied.
Immunohistochemistry
DRG neurons were fixed in 4% PFA in PBS at 4°C for 20 min. The primary antibodies, ICP4 antibody (Autogen Bioclear UK Ltd.) and a pan-sodium subunit antibody directed against a highly conserved region of the intracellular III-IV loop of the channel (Alamone Labs), were diluted in PBS with 10% FCS, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 0.02% sodium azide, and incubated with the DRG samples overnight at 4°C. After incubation with biotinylated antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) followed by a wash and incubation with streptavidin-fluorescein for 1 h at RT, the samples were mounted in Citifluor (CITIFLUOR Ltd.) and visualized under a fluorescence objective (excitation 470490 nM) of a brightfield microscope (Eclipse 800; Nikon). The mean density of fluorescence was measured with Image Pro software from Data Cell. Images were obtained by a confocal microscope (TCS Spuv; Leica) with a UV krypton laser.
