(S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine )an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors( induced synaptic potentiation at excitatory synapses on fast spiking GABAergic cells in visual cortex
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: (S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) is an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. DHPG-induced synaptic depression of excitatory synapses on hippocampal pyramidal neurons is well known model for synaptic plasticity studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DHPG superfusion on excitatory synapses on pyramidal and fast-spiking GABAergic cells (FS-GABA) of layer II/III of mice visual cortex. Methods: Effects of DHPG was examined in visual cortical slices of GAD67-GFP knock-in mice using whole-cell recordings of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in layer II/III cells evoked by layer IV stimulation. In part of experiments, long term potentiation (LTP) was induced by theta burst stimulation (TBS) paired with postsynaptic depolarization. Results: DHPG induced potentiation of EPSPs of FS-GABA neurons in dose- and use-dependent manners but it has no effect on pyramidal cell excitatory synapses. An antagonist for type 5 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR5) blocked DHPG-induced LTP, while an antagonist for mGluR1 was not effective. This potentiation and TBS-induced LTP occluded each other. Conclusion: Based on important role of FS-GABA cells in cortical neuronal circuit, mGlur5-dependent LTP may play a role in, enhancement or maintenance of synchronized activity of cortical pyramidal neurons.

Recent data showed that group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are located perisynaptic to the postsynaptic specializations of asymmetric glutamatergic synapses in the cerebellum and hippocampus in rats. In the present study, we used immunogold labeling to elucidate the subsynaptic localization of group I mGluRs (mGluR1a and mGluR5) in the internal and external segments of the globus...

Received: 27/Dec/2008, Accepted: 8/Mar/2009 Objective: Recently, we reported the presence of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR-5) dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at excitatory synapses on fast-spiking GABAergic (FS-GABA) cells in the visual cortex. In this study, we report a Ca2+ signaling pathway involved in this LTP type. Materials and Methods: Brain slices from GAD67-GFP k...
full textActivation of synaptic group II metabotropic glutamate receptors induces long-term depression at GABAergic synapses in CNS neurons.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent homosynaptic long-term depression (LTD) has been studied extensively at glutamatergic synapses in the CNS. However, much less is known about heterosynaptic long-term plasticity induced by mGluRs at inhibitory synapses. Here we report that pharmacological or synaptic activation of group II mGluRs (mGluR II) induces LTD at GABAergic synapses witho...
full textEffect of the group I metabotropic glutamate agonist DHPG on the visual cortex.
Metabotropic glutamate receptors have a variety of effects in visual cortex that depend on the age of the animal, the layer of the cortex, and the group of the receptor. Here we describe these effects for group I receptors, using both in vivo and in vitro preparations. The metabotropic group I glutamate receptor agonist 3,5 dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) potentiates the responses to N-methyl-D-a...
