AMPA receptors mediate most of the fast excitatory
neurotransmission in the brain, and those lacking the glutamate
receptor 2 (GluR2) subunit are Ca2+-permeable and
expressed in cortical structures primarily by inhibitory interneurons.
Here we report that synaptic AMPA receptors of excitatory layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the rat neocortex are deficient in GluR2 in early
development, approximately before postnatal day 16, as evidenced by
their inwardly rectifying current-voltage relationship, blockade of
AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs by external and internal polyamines,
permeability to Ca2+, and GluR2 immunoreactivity.
Overall, these results indicate that neocortical pyramidal neurons
undergo a developmental switch in the Ca2+
permeability of their AMPA receptors through an alteration of their
subunit composition. This has important implications for plasticity and neurotoxicity.
Key words:
AMPA receptors; GluR2 subunit; Ca2+
permeability; pyramidal neurons; neocortex; developmental switch
