Abstract:
:The nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling system and cAMP system play critical roles in the formation of multiple-trial induced, protein synthesis-dependent long-term memory (LTM) in many vertebrates and invertebrates. The relationship between the NO-cGMP system and cAMP system, however, remains controversial. In honey bees, the two systems have been suggested to converge on protein kinase A (PKA), based on the finding in vitro that cGMP activates PKA when sub-optimal dose of cAMP is present. In crickets, however, we have suggested that NO-cGMP pathway operates on PKA via activation of adenylyl cyclase and production of cAMP for LTM formation. To resolve this issue, we compared the effect of multiple-trial conditioning against the effect of an externally applied cGMP analog for LTM formation in crickets, in the presence of sub-optimal dose of cAMP analog and in condition in which adenylyl cyclase was inhibited. The obtained results suggest that an externally applied cGMP analog activates PKA when sub-optimal dose of cAMP analog is present, as is suggested in honey bees, but cGMP produced by multiple-trial conditioning cannot activate PKA even when sub-optimal dose of cAMP analog is present, thus indicating that cGMP produced by multiple-trial conditioning is not accessible to PKA. We conclude that the NO-cGMP system stimulates the cAMP system for LTM formation. We propose that LTM is formed by an interplay of two classes of neurons, namely, NO-producing neurons regulating LTM formation and NO-receptive neurons that are more directly involved in the formation of long-term synaptic plasticity underlying LTM formation.
