Abstract:
:Synapse specific differences in NR2 subunit expression exist in several systems within the mammalian CNS. Here we have studied such differences on motoneurons in the neonatal rat cord using ifenprodil known to inhibit voltage-, use- and glycine-independent responses mediated by NR2B-containing N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) with high specificity. In neonatal rats (P1-P9), the synapses made by the dorsal root (DR) fibres were more sensitive to ifenprodil than ventrolateral funiculus (VLF) connections on the same motoneuron. DR connections exhibited very little additional blockade to bath-applied MK-801 whereas VLF connections displayed a further decrease in amplitude. This suggests that at this immediate postnatal age, DR synapses on motoneurons contain a higher proportion of ifenprodil-sensitive diheteromeric NR1/NR2B receptors than VLF synapses. Since DR synapses have been shown in other studies to be less mature than VLF synapses on the same motoneuron at this developmental stage, these data are interpreted as indicating that less mature NMDA receptors feature a higher proportion of NR2B subunits which declines as the synapse matures. This novel finding of staggered development of NMDA receptors from different synaptic inputs on the same motoneuron is discussed in the context of its developmental and functional implications.
