Reduced mGluR5 activity modulates mitochondrial function in the synapse


ABSTRACT: The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a G-protein coupled receptor with an important role in synaptic function at multiple levels. In physiological conditions, mGluR5 is an essential modulator of synaptic plasticity, learning and memory; whereas in pathological conditions, it is an acknowledged therapeutic target that has been implicated in multiple brain disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms by which mGluR5 acts in these diverse synaptic functions and processes is only partly understood. In this study, we dissected the molecular synaptic modulation mediated by mGluR5 using genetic and pharmacological mouse models to chronically and acutely reduce mGluR5 activity. Using SWATH proteomic analysis, we found that next to dysregulation of synaptic proteins, the major regulation in protein expression in both models concerned specific processes in mitochondria, such as oxidative phosphorylation. Second, we observed morphological alterations in shape and area of specifically postsynaptic mitochondria in mGluR5 KO synapses using electron microscopy. Third, computational and biochemical assays suggested an increase of mitochondrial function in neurons, with increased level of NADP/H and oxidative damage in mGluR5 KO. Altogether, our observations provide diverse lines of evidence of the modulation of synaptic mitochondrial function by mGluR5. This connection suggests a role for mGluR5 as a mediator between synaptic activity and mitochondrial function, a finding which might be a relevant for the improvement of the clinical potential of mGluR5.
