Previous studies have shown that overexpression of the protein PSD-95
(postsynaptic density-95) selectively enhances AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic
responses in hippocampal pyramidal cells. To determine whether this effect is
related to synaptic plasticity at these synapses, we examined whether PSD-95
expression mimics long-term potentiation (LTP), and also whether it influences
LTP and long-term depression (LTD) in hippocampal slice cultures. Using
simultaneous recording from transfected or infected cells and control
pyramidal cells, we found that PSD-95, similar to LTP, increases the amplitude
and frequency of miniature EPSCs. It also converts silent synapses to
functional synapses, as does LTP. In addition, LTP is completely occluded in
cells expressing PSD-95, whereas LTD is greatly enhanced. These results
suggest that common mechanisms are involved in controlling synaptic AMPA
receptors by PSD-95 and synaptic plasticity.
Key words: PSD-95; AMPA receptors; long-term potentiation; long-term depression; hippocampus; silent synapses
