abstract = {Hyperpolarization‐activated and cyclic nucleotide‐gated
(HCN) channels mediate the Ih current in the murine
hippocampus. Disruption of the Ih current by knockout of
HCN1, HCN2 or tetratricopeptide repeat‐containing
Rab8b‐interacting protein has been shown to affect
physiological processes such as synaptic integration and
maintenance of resting membrane potentials as well as
several behaviors in mice, including depressive‐like and
anxiety‐like behaviors. However, the potential involvement
of the HCN4 isoform in these processes is unknown. Here, we
assessed the contribution of the HCN4 isoform to neuronal
processing and hippocampus‐based behaviors in mice. We
show that HCN4 is expressed in various regions of the
hippocampus, with distinct expression patterns that
partially overlapped with other HCN isoforms. For behavioral
analysis, we specifically modulated HCN4 expression by
injecting recombinant adeno‐associated viral (rAAV)
vectors mediating expression of short hairpin RNA against
hcn4 (shHcn4) into the dorsal hippocampus of mice. HCN4
knockdown produced no effect on contextual fear conditioning
or spatial memory. However, a pronounced anxiogenic effect
was evident in mice treated with shHcn4 compared to control
littermates. Our findings suggest that HCN4 specifically
contributes to anxiety‐like behaviors in mice.},
