Changes in protein synthesis accompanying long-term potentiation in the dentate gyrus in vivo

The possibility that the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) is
followed by changes in protein synthesis has been examined using high-
resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. 35S-methionine, infused
into the third ventricle of anesthetized rats, was used to label
hippocampal proteins. LTP was induced unilaterally in the dentate gyrus by
tetanic stimulation of the perforant path, and followed either for 1 hr or
for 3 hr. Two-dimensional gel autoradiographs were quantitatively analyzed
using the PDQUEST system (Protein Databases Inc.). One hour after the
unilateral induction of LTP, only one protein spot was found to be
statistically different in intensity from corresponding spots in the
contralateral control side. Three hours after LTP, however, 11 spots were
found to have altered densities. Examination of basic proteins using the
nonequilibrium pH gel electrophoresis system revealed changes in three
proteins in the 3 hr group. Reductions as well as increases in spot
intensities were observed. The results indicate that LTP is associated with
a complex pattern of changes in protein synthesis.
