Distinct contributions of ventral CA1/amygdala co-activation to the induction and maintenance of synaptic plasticity

ABSTRACT: The amygdala is known to modulate hippocampal synaptic plasticity. One role could be an immediate effect of basolateral amygdala (BLA) in priming synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Another role could be through associative synaptic co-operation and competition that triggers events involved in the maintenance of synaptic potentiation. We present evidence that the timing and activity level of BLA stimulation are important factors for the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) in ventral hippocampal area CA1. A 100 Hz BLA co-stimulation facilitated the induction of LTP, whereas 200 Hz co-stimulation attenuated induction. A 100 Hz BLA co-stimulation also caused enhanced persistence, sufficient to prevent synaptic competition. This maintenance effect is likely through translational mechanisms, as mRNA expression of primary response genes was unaffected, whereas protein level of plasticity-related products was increased. Further understanding of the neural mechanisms of amygdala modulation on hippocampus could provide insights into the mechanisms of emotional disorders.

DNA-methylation of LTP-associated genes.

Project description:Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is recognized as a cellular mechanism for learning and memory storage. Although de novo gene transcription is known to be required in the formation of stable LTP, the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity remain elusive.This study investigates the DNA-methylation levels of promoters and CpG-islands of LTP-associated genes identified from Maag et al. 2015 (DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00351) (See E-MTAB-3375).

Chronic administration of non-constitutive proteasome inhibitor modulates plasticity in hippocampus following tetanic stimulation, but not short theta-burst stimulation.

Project description:Proteasomes degrade most intracellular proteins. Several different forms of proteasomes are known. Proteasome inhibitors targeting different proteasome forms are used in clinical practice and were shown to modulate long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal slices of untreated animals. Here we studied the effect of chronic administration of non-constitutive proteasome inhibitor ONX-0914 on the LTP induced by two different protocols: tetanic stimulation and theta-burst stimulation (TBS). Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in hippocampal slices from control animals and animals treated with DMSO or ONX-0914 were compared. The TBS stimulation did not change LTP kinetics in hippocampal slices, however chronic administration of ONX-0914 led to the decrease in fEPSP slopes after tetanic stimulation. Observed effects correlated with differential expression of genes involved in synaptic plasticity, glutaminergic synapse and synaptic signaling. Obtained results indicate that non-constitutive proteasomes are likely involved in the tetanus-evoked LTP but not the LTP occurring after TBS, supporting the relevance and complexity of the role of proteasomes in the synaptic plasticity.

Early life stress in fathers impairs synaptic plasticity in the offspring - brain collected after acute swim stress

Project description:We show that traumatic stress experienced by males in early postnatal life impairs memory in their offspring, blocks long-term potentiation (LTP) and favors long-term depression (LTD). These effects are accompanied by suppression of key molecular pathways involved in neuronal plasticity both at rest and after acute stress. Male mice were exposed to chronic traumatic stress in early postnatal life and were later bred to naM-CM-/ve females to produce second-generation offspring. Memory performance was evaluated in the offspring, and synaptic plasticity was examined in the hippocampus and the amygdala, brain areas important for memory formation. The two groups tested were 1: offspring of fathers which were stressed (MSUS - maternal separation unpredictable stress) and 2: offspring of non-stressed fathers (control). Genome-wide gene expression in hippocampus of these two groups was assessed at rest and after acute stress (this study).

Development of a platform to investigate long term potentiation in human iPSC-derived neuronal networks

Project description:Although impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) is a common feature of many neurological disorders, studies in humans are limited by inaccessibility of the brain. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) provide a unique opportunity to study LTP, especially in disease specific genetic backgrounds. We describe a multi-electrode array (MEA)-based assay to investigate chemically induced LTP (cLTP) in networks of hiPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic (DA) and cortical neuronal populations. We demonstrate potentiation of activity that lasts for days, allowing for studies of the late phases of LTP. We show that cLTP on midbrain DA neuronal networks is largely independent of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), and demonstrate partial dependence on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as other factors released into the medium. Finally, we describe activity-regulated gene expression induced by cLTP. In summary, this cLTP-MEA assay platform will enable phenotype discovery and higher throughput analyses of synaptic plasticity on hiPSC-derived neurons.

A Circult Mechanism for Differentiating Positive and Negative Associations

Project description:The ability to differentiate stimuli predicting positive or negative outcomes is critical for survival, and perturbations of emotional processing underlie many psychiatric disease states. Different neuronal populations of the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) encode fearful or rewarding associations, but the molecular identity of these functionally distinct populations of BLA neurons remained unknown. Here, we show that BLA neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens (NAc-projectors) or the centromedial amygdala (CeM-projectors) underwent opposing synaptic changes following fear or reward conditioning. The photostimulation of NAc projectors supported positive reinforcement while photostimulation of CeM projectors mediated negative reinforcement. In search of defining molecular characteristics of these functionally-distinct BLA neuronal populations, we compared gene expression profiles of NAc- and CeM-projectors.

Detection of Arc/Arg3.1 oligomers in rat brain: constitutive and synaptic activity-evoked dimer expression in vivo

Project description:The immediate early gene product activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associate protein (Arc or Arg3.1) is a major regulator long-term synaptic plasticity with critical roles in postnatal cortical development and memory formation. However, the molecular basis of Arc function is not defined. Arc is a hub protein with interaction partners in the postsynaptic neuronal compartment and nucleus. In vitro biochemical and biophysical analysis of purified recombinant Arc show formation of low-order oligomers and larger particles including retrovirus-like capsids. Here, we provide evidence for naturally occurring Arc oligomers in mammalian brain. Using in situ protein crosslinking to trap weak Arc-Arc interactions, we identified in various preparations a prominent Arc immunoreactive band on SDS-PAGE of molecular mass corresponding to a dimer. While heavier Arc species or putative trimers and tetramers were detected, they were of lower abundance. In the dentate gyrus (DG) of adult anesthetized rats, induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) by high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of medial perforant synapses or by brief intrahippocampal infusion of BDNF led to a massive increase in Arc dimer expression. Arc immunoprecipitation of crosslinked DG tissue showed enhanced expression of dimer during four hours of LTP maintenance. Mass spectrometric proteomic analysis of immunoprecipitated, gel-excised bands corroborated detection of Arc dimer. Furthermore, Arc dimer was constitutively expressed in naïve cortical, hippocampal and DG tissue, with lowest levels in the DG. Taken together the results implicate Arc dimers as the predominant low-oligomeric form in mammalian brain, exhibiting regional differences in its constitutive expression and pronounced enhanced expression during DG LTP.

Li2019 - Neurogranin stimulates Ca/calmodulin-dependent kinase II by inhibiting Calcineurin

Project description:Calmodulin sits at the center of molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory. Its complex, and sometimes opposite, influences via the binding to various proteins are yet to be fully understood. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and calcineurin (CaN) both bind open calmodulin, favoring Long-term-potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD) respectively. Neurogranin binds to the closed conformation of calmodulin and its impact on synaptic plasticity is less clear. We set up a mechanistic computational model based on allosteric principles to simulate calmodulin state transitions and its interaction with calcium ions and the three binding partners mentioned above. We simulated calcium spikes at various frequencies and show that neurogranin regulates synaptic plasticity along three modalities. At low spike frequencies, neurogranin inhibits the onset of LTD by limiting CaN activation. At intermediate frequencies, neurogranin limits LTP by precluding binding of CaMKII with calmodulin. Finally, at high spike frequencies, neurogranin promotes LTP by enhancing CaMKII autophosphorylation. While neurogranin might act as a calmodulin buffer, it does not significantly preclude the calmodulin opening by calcium. On the contrary, neurogranin synchronizes the opening of calmodulin's two lobes and promotes their activation at specific frequencies, increasing the chance of CaMKII trans-autophosphorylation. Importantly, the positive effect of neurogranin on CaMKII activation is mediated via CaN, and too few or too much CaN will abolish this effect. Furthermore, the amount of neurogranin itself differentially regulates the levels of CaN and CaMKII activities, as well as the frequencies at which the balance switch from one to the other.
