A chemical form of synaptic potentiation was produced with a brief
bath application of NMDA to rat hippocampal slices. Two methods were
used to assess changes in membrane-bound AMPA receptors. Traditional
subcellular fractionation was used to isolate synaptic membranes;
alternatively, membrane receptors were cross-linked with the
membrane-impermeable reagent bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate, and levels of nonmembrane receptors were determined. In both cases, Western blots were used to determine the content of receptor subunits in various subcellular fractions. NMDA-induced potentiation was associated with increased levels of glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) and GluR2/3 subunits of AMPA receptors in synaptic membrane
preparations, whereas no change was observed in whole homogenates. Both
KN-62, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin kinase, and calpain inhibitor III, a calpain inhibitor, inhibited NMDA-induced potentiation and
changes in GluR1 and GluR2/3 subunits of AMPA receptors. Brefeldin A
(BFA) inhibits protein trafficking between the Golgi apparatus and cell
membranes. Pretreatment of hippocampal slices with BFA significantly
decreased NMDA-induced potentiation and completely prevented an
NMDA-induced increase in GluR1 levels in membrane fractions. Thus, the
levels of GluR1 and GluR2/3 subunits of AMPA receptors are rapidly
upregulated in synaptic membranes under conditions associated with
potentiation of synaptic responses, and this upregulation requires a
functional secretory pathway.
Key words:
AMPA receptors; brefeldin A; exocytosis; long-term
