To clarify the changes that occur in 
-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor-mediated effects and contribute to alterlations in the network activities after neuronal injury, we studied intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) dynamics in a rat facial-nerve-transection model. In facial motoneurons, an elevation of the resting [Ca2+]i, GABA-mediated [Ca2+]i transients, enhancement of the glutamate-evoked [Ca2+]i increases, and spontaneous [Ca2+]i oscillations were induced by axotomy. All these axotomy-induced modifications were abolished by the GABAA-receptor antagonist bicuculline and NMDA-receptor antagonist D-AP5. A downregulation of K+-Cl- cotransporter (KCC2) mRNA, an increase in intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]i) and transformation of GABAergic hyperpolarization to depolarization were also induced by axotomy. We suggest that in axotomized neurons KCC2 downregulation impairs Cl- homeostasis and makes GABA act depolarizing, resulting in endogenous GABA inducing [Ca2+]i oscillations via facilitation of NMDA-receptor activation. Such GABAA-receptor-mediated [Ca2+]i oscillations may play a role in neural survival and regeneration.
