The study explores a novel strategy to identify metabolically active interneurons, finding that most metabolically active FS cells belong to the non-accommodating AP-firing category. Enhancing spontaneous neuronal activity leads to increased DCF oxidation in interneurons.
Maintaining high frequency firing of narrow action potentials puts a large metabolic load on fast spiking (FS), perisomatic-inhibitory interneurons compared to their slow-spiking, dendrite targeting counterparts. Although the relationship of action potential (AP) firing and metabolism is firmly established, there is no single method to differentiate interneurons in situ based on their firing properties. In this study, we explore a novel strategy to easily identify the metabolically active FS cells among different classes of interneurons. We found that the oxidation of the fluorescent free radical marker 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (H2DCF) preferentially occurs in interneurons both in slice cultures and acute brain slices. Despite their morphological heterogeneity, almost all DCF-positive (DCF+) neurons belonged to the cluster of non-accommodating FS interneurons. Furthermore, all FS interneurons expressing parvalbumin (PV) both in slice cultures and in acute slices from tdTomato-PVCre transgenic mice were also DCF+. However, only half of the recorded DCF + cells were also PV+, indicating that H2DCF-oxidation occurs in different interneuron classes characterized by non-accomodating AP-firing. Comprehensively enhancing spontaneous neuronal activity led to mitochondrial oxidation of DCF in pyramidal cells as well as interneurons, suggesting that the apparent selectivity towards interneurons represents differences in the underlying metabolic load. While radical-scavenging, inhibition of APs or NO-synthesis, and iron chelation had no effect on the staining pattern, exposure to the complex-I inhibitor, rotenone, prevented interneuronal DCF accumulation. We conclude that H2DCF oxidation is independent of free radicals but correlates with the intensive oxidative energy metabolism and high mitochondrial mass in interneurons sharing the non-accommodating FS phenotype.
