Treating N2a and Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells with G6 gave GC reductions to 7% and 26% of untreated levels, respectively. G6 treated Conduritol B epoxide-N2a also has significantly decreased GS. Co-treatment of G6 and dantrolene of Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells lead to a similar degree of GC and GS reduction as G6 alone, indicating a specific effect of G6 on inhibition of substrate accumulation, Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells have higher calcium levels than in N2a cells without caffeine at baseline. Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells show a significant increase in cytosolic calcium levels compared to N2a cells. Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells show a significant reduction in OCR as evidenced by approximately 50% in all the parameters, including rate of ATP production, basal respiration, and maximal respiration, compared to N2a cells, indicating reduced mitochondrial function in this nGD cell model. In dantrolene-treated Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells, levels of Ryr3 are increased to 76% of WT level.
