Recent evidence suggests that internal calcium stores and
calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) provide an important source of
calcium that drives short-term presynaptic plasticity at central synapses. Here we tested for the involvement of CICR in short-term presynaptic plasticity at six excitatory synapses in acute rat hippocampal and cerebellar brain slices. Depletion of internal calcium
stores with thapsigargin and prevention of CICR with ryanodine have no
effect on paired-pulse facilitation, delayed release of neurotransmitter, or calcium-dependent recovery from depression. Fluorometric calcium measurements also show that these drugs have no
effect on the residual calcium signal that underlies these forms of
short-term presynaptic plasticity. Finally, although caffeine causes
CICR in Purkinje cell bodies and dendrites, it does not elicit CICR in
parallel fiber inputs to these cells. Taken together, these results
indicate that for the excitatory synapses studied here, internal
calcium stores and CICR do not contribute to short-term presynaptic
plasticity on the milliseconds-to-seconds time scale. Instead, this
plasticity is driven by the residual calcium signal arising from
calcium entry through voltage-gated calcium channels.
Key words:
hippocampus; cerebellum; internal calcium stores; calcium-induced calcium release; ryanodine; thapsigargin; short-term
presynaptic plasticity; presynaptic residual calcium
