Neurons of adult brain are able to remodel their synaptic
connections in response to various stimuli. Modifications of the peridendritic environment, including the extracellular matrix, are
likely to play a role during synapse remodeling. Proteolytic disassembly of ECM is a complex process using the regulated actions of
specific extracellular proteinases. One of best-characterized families
of matrix-modifying enzymes is the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)
family. Here, we describe changes in the expression and function of two
well known MMPs, MMP-9 and MMP-2, in adult rat brain before and after
systemic administration of the glutamate receptor agonist kainate.
Kainate application results in enhanced synaptic transmission and
seizures followed by selective tissue remodeling, primarily in
hippocampal dentate gyrus. MMP-9 but not MMP-2 was highly expressed by
neurons in normal adult rat brain. MMP-9 protein was localized in
neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. Kainate upregulated the level of
MMP-9 mRNA and protein within hours after drug administration. This was
followed several hours later by MMP-9 enzymatic activation. Within
hippocampus, MMP-9 mRNA and activity were increased selectively in
dentate gyrus, including its dendritic layer. In addition, MMP-9 mRNA levels decreased in areas undergoing neuronal cell loss. This unique
spatiotemporal pattern of MMP-9 expression suggests its involvement in
activity-dependent remodeling of dendritic architecture with possible
effects on synaptic physiology.
Key words:
brain MMP-9 and MMP-2; matrix metalloproteinases; extracellular proteolysis; dendritic remodeling; hippocampus; mRNA
translocation; brain extracellular matrix; kainic acid; neuronal
activity-dependent gene expression
