Activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors
(mGluRs) can induce acute depression of excitatory synaptic
transmission and long-term depression (LTD) in area CA1 of the rat
hippocampus. The underlying mechanisms for both forms of depression are
unknown. By measuring presynaptic calcium transients, we show that a
reduction in the stimulation-induced presynaptic calcium rise that
triggers vesicular release causes the acute depression of transmission by group I mGluRs. In contrast, the mechanism underlying mGluR-induced LTD does not involve a persistent change in stimulation-induced calcium
influx. However, analysis of paired-pulse facilitation experiments
suggests a presynaptic location for expression of this form of LTD.
Furthermore, we show that mGluR-induced LTD can be completely blocked
by a specific mGluR5 antagonist, whereas mGluR1 antagonists strongly
attenuate the acute depression of transmission. These results support
the hypothesis that the acute depression of transmission caused by
activation of group I mGluRs involves regulation of stimulation-induced
presynaptic calcium transients, whereas mGluR-induced LTD involves a
distinct presynaptic modulation downstream of calcium influx.
