Neurons

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in
activity-dependent modifications of neuronal connectivity and synaptic
strength, including establishment of hippocampal long-term potentiation
(LTP). To shed light on mechanisms underlying BDNF-dependent synaptic
plasticity, the present study was undertaken to characterize release of
native BDNF from newborn rat hippocampal neurons in response to
physiologically relevant patterns of electrical field stimulation in
culture, including tonic stimulation at 5 Hz, bursting stimulation at
25 and 100 Hz, and theta-burst stimulation (TBS). Release was measured
using the ELISA in situ technique, developed in our
laboratory to quantify secretion of native BDNF without the need to
first overexpress the protein to nonphysiological levels. Each
stimulation protocol resulted in a significant increase in BDNF release
that was tetrodotoxin sensitive and occurred in the absence of
glutamate receptor activation. However, 100 Hz tetanus and TBS,
stimulus patterns that are most effective in inducing hippocampal LTP,
were significantly more effective in releasing native BDNF than
lower-frequency stimulation. For all stimulation protocols tested,
removal of extracellular calcium, or blockade of N-type calcium
channels, prevented BDNF release. Similarly, depletion of intracellular
calcium stores with thapsigargin and treatment with dantrolene, an
inhibitor of calcium release from caffeine-ryanodine-sensitive stores,
markedly inhibited activity-dependent BDNF release. Our results
indicate that BDNF release can encode temporal features of hippocampal
neuronal activity. The dual requirement for calcium influx through
N-type calcium channels and calcium mobilization from intracellular
stores strongly implicates a role for calcium-induced calcium release
in activity-dependent BDNF secretion.
