Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have been proposed to be
involved in oscillatory rhythmic activity in the hippocampus. However,
the subtypes of mGluRs involved and their precise distribution in
different populations of interneurons is unclear. In this study, we
combined functional analysis of mGluR-mediated inward currents in CA1
oriens-alveus interneurons with anatomical and immunocytochemical identification of these interneurons and expression analysis of group I
mGluR using single-cell reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Four major
interneuron subtypes could be distinguished based on the mGluR-mediated
inward current induced by the application of 100 µM
trans-(1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic
acid (ACPD) under voltage-clamp conditions and the action potential firing pattern under current-clamp conditions. Type I interneurons responded with a large inward current of ~224 pA, were positive for
somatostatin, and the majority expressed both mGluR1 and mGluR5. Type
II interneurons responded with an inward current of ~80 pA, contained
calbindin, and expressed mainly mGluR1. Type III interneurons responded
with an inward current of ~60 pA. These interneurons were
fast-spiking, contained parvalbumin, and expressed mainly mGluR5. Type
IV interneurons did not respond with an inward current upon application
of ACPD, yet they expressed group I mGluRs. Activation of group I
mGluRs under current-clamp conditions increased spike frequency and
resulted in rhythmic firing activity in type I and II, but not in type
III and IV, interneurons. RT-PCR results suggest that activation of
mGluR1 in the subsets of GABAergic interneurons, classified here as
type I and II, may play an important role in mediating synchronous activity.
Key words:
