Depotentiation depends on IP<sub>3</sub> receptor activation sustained by synaptic inputs after LTP induction

Description

<jats:p>In CA1 neurons of guinea pig hippocampal slices, long-term potentiation (LTP) was induced in field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) or population spikes (PSs) by the delivery of high-frequency stimulation (HFS, 100 pulses at 100 Hz) to CA1 synapses, and was reversed by the delivery of a train of low-frequency stimulation (LFS, 1000 pulses at 2 Hz) at 30 min after HFS (depotentiation), and this effect was inhibited when test synaptic stimulation was halted for a 19-min period after HFS or for a 20-min period after LFS or applied over the same time period in the presence of an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), or inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptors (IP<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Rs). Depotentiation was also blocked by the application of a Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor or a calcineurin inhibitor applied in the presence of test synaptic input for a 10-min period after HFS or for a 20-min period after LFS. These results suggest that, in postsynaptic neurons, the coactivation of NMDARs and group I mGluRs due to sustained synaptic activity following LTP induction results in the activation of IP<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Rs and CaMKII, which leads to the activation of calcineurin after LFS and depotentiation of CA1 synaptic responses.</jats:p>
