We have previously shown (Otani et al., 1999b) that bath
application of
(2S,2'R,3'R)-2-(2',3'-dicarboxycyclopropyl)glycine (DCG IV), the agonist of group II metabotropic glutamate
receptors (mGluRs), induces postsynaptic
Ca2+-dependent long-term depression (LTD) of layer
I-II to layer V pyramidal neuron glutamatergic synapses of rat medial
prefrontal cortex. In the present study, we examined detailed
mechanisms of this DCG IV-induced LTD. First, the group II mGluR
antagonist (RS)- -methylserine-O-phosphate
monophenyl ester blocked DCG IV-induced LTD, and another group
II agonist
(2S,3S,4S)-CCG/(2S,1'S,2'S)-2-(carboxycyclopropyl)glycine-induced LTD, suggesting that LTD is indeed mediated by the activation of group
II mGluRs. Second, DCG IV-induced LTD was blocked by the NMDA receptor
antagonist AP-5, whereas DCG IV did not potentiate NMDA
receptor-mediated synaptic responses. Interruption of single test
stimuli during DCG IV application blocked DCG IV-induced LTD. These
results suggest that small NMDA receptor-mediated responses evoked by
single synaptic stimuli contribute to DCG IV-induced LTD. Third, DCG
IV-induced LTD was blocked or reduced by the following drugs:
phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 (bath-applied or
postsynaptically injected), postsynaptically injected IP3
receptor blocker heparin, phospholipase D-linked mGluR blocker PCCG-13,
PKC inhibitor RO318220, postsynaptically injected PKC inhibitor
PKC(19-36), and PKA inhibitor KT-5720. Fourth, fluorescent
Ca2+ analysis techniques revealed that DCG IV
increases Ca2+ concentration in prefrontal
layer V pyramidal neurons. These Ca2+ rises and the
LTD were both blocked by postsynaptic heparin in the same cells. Taken
together, these results suggest that postsynaptic group II mGluRs,
linked to phospholipase C and probably also phospholipase D, induce LTD
through postsynaptic PKC activation and IP3
receptor-mediated postsynaptic increases of Ca2+ concentration.
