The role of metabotropic L-glutamate (mGlu) receptors
in supralinear Ca2+ signaling was investigated in
cultured hippocampal cells using Ca2+ imaging
techniques and whole-cell voltage-clamp recording. In neurons, but not
glia, global supralinear Ca2+ release from
intracellular stores was observed when the mGlu receptor agonist
(RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) was combined with
elevated extracellular K+ levels (10.8 mM), moderate depolarization (15-30 mV), or NMDA (3 µM). There was a delay (2-8 min) before the stores were
fully charged, and the enhancement persisted for a short period (up to
10 min) after removal of the store-loading stimulus. Studies with the
mGlu receptor antagonist 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine demonstrated that these effects were mediated by activation of the
mGlu5 receptor subtype. The L-type voltage-gated
Ca2+ channel antagonist nifedipine (10 µM) substantially reduced responses to DHPG obtained in
the presence of elevated extracellular K+ but not
NMDA. This suggests that the Ca2+ that is required
to load the stores can enter either through L-type voltage-gated
Ca2+ channels or directly through NMDA receptors.
The findings that both depolarization and NMDA receptor activation can
facilitate mGlu receptor Ca2+ signaling adds
considerable flexibility to the processes that underlie
activity-dependent changes in synaptic strength. In particular, a
temporal separation between the store-loading stimulus and the activation of mGlu receptors could be used as a recency detector in neurons.
