-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor-mediated
inhibitory synaptic transmission in visual cortex undergoes long-term
potentiation (LTP), which is input-specific and associative. The
present study, conducted under a blockade of ionotropic glutamate
receptors, demonstrates an induction mechanism of LTP considerably
different from those of associative LTP at excitatory synapses.
Inhibitory responses of layer V cells evoked by layer IV stimulation
were studied in developing rat visual cortex slices by using
intracellular and whole-cell recording methods. LTP induction was
prevented by the application of an antagonist for GABAB
receptors but not for GABAA or metabotropic glutamate
receptors. Inhibition of postsynaptic G-proteins, phospholipase C,
inositol trisphosphate (IP3) receptors, or Ca2+
increase prevented the generation of LTP, as did the blockade of
GABAB receptors.
In rat cerebral cortex, GABAB receptor activation is not
known to affect the IP3 level by itself. However, it
facilitates IP3 formation induced by the activation of
1 adrenoceptors, which are believed to be located
postsynaptically. Accordingly, I examined the involvement of these and
other amine receptors, including histamine H1, muscarinic
acetylcholine, and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, all of which
are coupled to IP3 formation. Only the blockade of
1 adrenoceptors or serotonin 5-HT2 receptors
prevented LTP induction in most, but not all, of the cells. These
results suggest that LTP induction requires the activation of
postsynaptic GABAB receptors and that its effect is
mediated at least partly by facilitation of the monoamine-induced
IP3 formation, which then causes Ca2+ release
from the internal stores in postsynaptic cells.
