Inhibitory interneurons play important roles in neuronal circuits, but the
synaptic mechanisms that regulate excitatory input onto interneurons remain to
be fully understood. We show that ATP-gated presynaptic P2X2 channels
facilitate excitatory transmission onto stratum radiatum interneurons but not
onto CA1 pyramidal neurons. ATP released endogenously during carbachol-induced
oscillations facilitates excitatory synapses onto interneurons. Overall, these
data provide evidence for the molecular identity, synaptic function, and
interneuron synapse specificity of a presynaptic neurotransmitter-gated cation
channel. The findings highlight a novel form of presynaptic facilitation for
hippocampal interneurons and suggest a role for extracellular ATP in neuronal
networks.
