The axons of the dentate gyrus granule cells, the so-called mossy
fibers, innervate their inhibitory interneuron and pyramidal neuron
targets via both anatomically and functionally specialized synapses.
Mossy fiber synapses onto inhibitory interneurons were comprised of
either calcium-permeable (CP) or calcium-impermeable (CI) AMPA
receptors, whereas only calcium-impermeable AMPA receptors existed at
CA3 principal neuron synapses. In response to brief trains of
high-frequency stimuli (20 Hz), pyramidal neuron synapses invariably
demonstrated short-term facilitation, whereas interneuron EPSCs
demonstrated either short-term facilitation or depression. Facilitation
at all CI AMPA synapses was voltage independent, whereas EPSCs at CP
AMPA synapses showed greater facilitation at 20 than at 80 mV,
consistent with a role for the postsynaptic unblock of polyamines. At
pyramidal cell synapses, mossy fiber EPSCs possessed marked
frequency-dependent facilitation (commencing at stimulation frequencies
>0.1 Hz), whereas EPSCs at either type of interneuron synapse showed
only moderate frequency-dependent facilitation or underwent depression.
Presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) decreased
transmission at all three synapse types in a frequency-dependent
manner. However, after block of presynaptic mGluRs, transmission at
interneuron synapses still did not match the dynamic range of EPSCs at
pyramidal neuron synapses. High-frequency stimulation of mossy fibers
induced long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), or no
change at pyramidal neuron synapses, interneuron CP AMPA synapses, and
CI AMPA synapses, respectively. Induction of LTP or LTD altered the short-term plasticity of transmission onto both pyramidal cells and
interneuron CP AMPA synapses by a mechanism consistent with changes in
release probability. These data reveal differential mechanisms of
transmission at three classes of mossy fiber synapse made onto distinct targets.
