LTD at mossy fiber synapses onto stratum lucidum interneurons requires TrkB and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

Abstract：

:Hippocampal mossy fiber axons simultaneously activate CA3 pyramidal cells and stratum lucidum interneurons (SLINs), the latter providing feedforward inhibition to control CA3 pyramidal cell excitability. Filopodial extensions of giant boutons of mossy fibers provide excitatory synaptic input to the SLIN. These filopodia undergo extraordinary structural plasticity causally linked to execution of memory tasks, leading us to seek the mechanisms by which activity regulates these synapses. High-frequency stimulation of the mossy fibers induces long-term depression (LTD) of their calcium-permeable AMPA receptor synapses with SLINs; previous work localized the site of induction to be postsynaptic and the site of expression to be presynaptic. Yet, the underlying signaling events and the identity of the retrograde signal are incompletely understood. We used whole cell recordings of SLINs in hippocampal slices from wild-type and mutant mice to explore the mechanisms. Genetic and pharmacologic perturbations revealed a requirement for both the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB and its agonist, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), for induction of LTD. Inclusion of inhibitors of Trk receptor kinase and PLC in the patch pipette prevented LTD. Endocannabinoid receptor antagonists and genetic deletion of the CB1 receptor prevented LTD. We propose a model whereby release of BDNF from mossy fiber filopodia activates TrkB and PLCγ1 signaling postsynaptically within SLINs, triggering synthesis and release of an endocannabinoid that serves as a retrograde signal, culminating in reduced glutamate release. Insights into the signaling pathways by which activity modifies function of these synapses will facilitate an understanding of their contribution to the local circuit and behavioral consequences of hippocampal granule cell activity. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We investigated signaling mechanisms underlying plasticity of the hippocampal mossy fiber filopodial synapse with interneurons in stratum lucidum. High-frequency stimulation of the mossy fibers induces long-term depression of this synapse. Our findings are consistent with a model in which brain-derived neurotrophic factor released from filopodia activates TrkB of a stratum lucidum interneuron; the ensuing activation of PLCγ1 induces synthesis of an endocannabinoid, which provides a retrograde signal leading to reduced release of glutamate presynaptically.
