Synaptic Responses

We investigated the effect of chronic stress on synaptic responses of rat dentate granule cells to perforant path stimulation. Rats were subjected for 3 wk to unpredictable stressors twice daily or to control handling. One day after the last stressor, hippocampal slices were prepared and synaptic responses were determined with whole-cell recording. At that time, adrenal weight was found to be increased and thymus weight as well as gain in body weight were decreased in the stressed versus control animals, indicative of corticosterone hypersecretion during the stress period. In slices from rats with basal corticosteroid levels (at the circadian trough, under rest), no effect of prior stress exposure was observed on synaptic responses. However, synaptic responses of dentate granule cells from chronically stressed and control rats were differently affected by in vitro activation of glucocorticoid receptors, i.e., 1–4 h after administration of 100 nM corticosterone for 20 min. Thus the maximal response to synaptic activation of dentate cells at holding potential of −70 mV [when N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are blocked by magnesium] was significantly enhanced after corticosterone administration in chronically stressed but not in control animals. In accordance, the amplitude of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisolazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) but not of NMDA receptor-mediated currents was increased by corticosterone in stressed rats, over the entire voltage range. Corticosterone treatment also decreased the time to peak of AMPA currents, but this effect did not depend on prior stress exposure. The data indicate that following chronic stress exposure synaptic excitation of dentate granule cells may be enhanced when corticosterone levels rise. This enhanced synaptic flow could contribute to enhanced excitation of projection areas of the dentate gyrus, most notably the CA3 hippocampal region.

Synaptic Responses

Adrenalectomy is known to accelerate both neurogenesis and cell death of granule cells located in the suprapyramidal blade of the rat dentate gyrus. Three days after adrenalectomy, some granule cells have already died by apoptosis while newly formed cells are not yet incorporated in the cell layer, resulting in a temporary loss of granule cells. Concomitantly, the field response to stimulation of perforant path afferents is reduced. While the temporary cell loss is likely to attenuate synaptic field responses, adrenalectomy-induced changes in properties of the surviving cells may also contribute to the reduction in field response amplitude. To address this possibility, we here investigated the membrane properties and synaptic responses of dentate granule cells, 3 days after adrenalectomy. We found that passive and most of the active membrane properties of granule cells in adrenalectomized rats were not significantly different from the cell properties in sham-operated controls. However, intracellularly recorded synaptic responses from surviving granule cells were markedly reduced after adrenalectomy. The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)– and the non-NMDA receptor–mediated components were reduced to a similar extent, suggesting that the attenuation of synaptic transmission after adrenalectomy could be partly of presynaptic origin. The data indicate that the earlier observed attenuation of synaptic field responses after adrenalectomy may be partly due to a diminished glutamatergic input to the dentate gyrus and not exclusively to a loss of granule cells participating in the synaptic circuit.

The dentate gyrus is a key relay station that controls information transfer from the entorhinal cortex to the hippocampus proper. This process heavily relies on dendritic integration by dentate granule cells (GCs) of excitatory synaptic inputs from medial and lateral entorhinal cortex via medial and lateral perforant paths (MPP and LPP, respectively). N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) can contribute significantly to the integrative properties of neurons. While early studies reported that excitatory inputs from entorhinal cortex onto GCs can undergo activity-dependent long-term plasticity of NMDAR-mediated transmission, the input-specificity of this plasticity along the dendritic axis remains unknown. Here, we examined the NMDAR plasticity rules at MPP-GC and LPP-GC synapses using physiologically relevant patterns of stimulation in acute rat hippocampal slices. We found that MPP-GC, but not LPP-GC synapses, expressed homosynaptic NMDAR-LTP. In addition, induction of NMDAR-LTP at MPP-GC synapses heterosynaptically potentiated distal LPP-GC NMDAR plasticity. The same stimulation protocol induced homosynaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR)-LTP at MPP-GC but heterosynaptic AMPAR-LTD at distal LPP synapses, demonstrating that NMDAR and AMPAR are governed by different plasticity rules. Remarkably, heterosynaptic but not homosynaptic NMDAR-LTP required Ca2+ release from intracellular, ryanodine-dependent Ca2+ stores. Lastly, the induction and maintenance of both homo- and heterosynaptic NMDAR-LTP were blocked by GluN2D antagonism, suggesting the recruitment of GluN2D-containing receptors to the synapse. Our findings uncover a mechanism by which distinct inputs to the dentate gyrus may interact functionally and contribute to hippocampal-dependent memory formation.

Presynaptic Mechanisms

cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) are two major modulators of synaptic transmission in the CNS but little is known about how they affect synaptic transmission in the human CNS. In this study, we used forskolin, a PKA activator, and phorbol ester, a PKC activator, to examine the effects of these kinases on synaptic transmission in granule cells of the dentate gyrus in human hippocampal slices using whole-cell recording methods. We found that both forskolin and phorbol ester increased the frequency of spontaneous and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs and mEPSCs) but left the amplitude unaffected. Inactive forskolin and phorbol ester had no effect on sEPSCs in human dentate granule cells. Prior application of forskolin occluded the effects of phorbol ester on mEPSC frequency. Tetanic stimulation applied to the perforant path induced short-term depression in dentate gyrus granule cells. Both forskolin and phorbol ester significantly enhanced this short-term depression. Taken together, these results demonstrate that PKA and PKC are involved in up-regulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in human dentate granule cells, primarily by presynaptic mechanisms. In addition, the occlusion experiments suggest that the two kinases may share a common signal pathway.

In temporal lobe epilepsy, loss of inhibitory neurons and circuit changes in the dentate gyrus promote hyperexcitability. This hyperexcitability is compensated to the point that dentate granule cells exhibit normal or even subnormal excitability under some conditions. This study explored the possibility that compensation involves enhanced tonic GABA inhibition. Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were made from normotopic granule cells in hippocampal slices from control rats and from both normotopic and hilar ectopic granule cells in slices from rats subjected to pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus. After status epilepticus, tonic GABA current was an order of magnitude greater than control in normotopic granule cells and was significantly greater in hilar ectopic than in normotopic granule cells. These differences could be observed whether or not the extracellular GABA concentration was increased by adding GABA to the superfusion medium or blocking plasma membrane transport. The enhanced tonic GABA current had both action potential–dependent and action potential–independent components. Pharmacological studies suggested that the small tonic GABA current of granule cells in control rats was mediated largely by high-affinity α4βxδ GABAA receptors but that the much larger current recorded after status epilepticus was mediated largely by the lower-affinity α5βxγ2 GABAA receptors. A large α5βxγ2-mediated tonic current could be recorded from controls only when the extracellular GABA concentration was increased. Status epilepticus seemed not to impair the control of extracellular GABA concentration by plasma membrane transport substantially. Upregulated tonic GABA inhibition may account for the unexpectedly modest excitability of the dentate gyrus in epileptic brain.

1. Previous reports have shown that group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) serve as autoreceptors at the lateral perforant path, but to date there has been no rigorous determination of the roles of other mGluRs as autoreceptors at this synapse. Furthermore, it is not known which of the mGluR subtypes serve as autoreceptors at the medial perforant path synapse. With the use of whole cell patch-clamp and field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) recording techniques, we examined the groups of mGluRs that act as autoreceptors at lateral and medial perforant path synapses in adult rat hippocampal slices. 2. Consistent with previous reports, the group III mGluR agonist (D,L)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid reduced fEPSPs and excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in the dentate gyrus. However, the group-II-selective agonist (2S,1'R,2'R,3'R)-2-(2,3-dicarboxycyclopropyl)glycine (DCG-IV) also reduced fEPSPs and EPSCs, suggesting that multiple mGluR subtypes may serve as autoreceptors at perforant path synapses. 3. Selective activation of either medial or lateral perforant pathways revealed that micromolar concentrations of (L)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4) reduce fEPSPs in lateral but not medial perforant path, suggesting group III involvement at the lateral perforant pathway. Conversely, DCG-IV and 2R, 4R-4-aminopyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, another group-II-selective mGluR agonist, potently reduced fEPSPs at the medial but not lateral perforant path, suggesting that a group II mGluR may act as an autoreceptor at the medial perforant path-dentate gyrus synapse. 4. Antagonist studies with group-selective antagonists such as (2S,3S,4S)-2-methyl-2-(carboxycyclpropyl)glycine (MCCG; group II) and alpha-methyl-L-AP4 (MAP4; group III) suggest differential involvement of each group at these synapses. The effect of L-AP4 at the lateral perforant path synapse was blocked by MAP-4, but not MCCG. In contrast, the effect of DCG-IV was blocked by application of MCCG, but not MAP4. 5. Previous studies suggest that the effect of L-AP4 at the lateral perforant path synapse is mediated by a presynaptic mechanism. In the present studies, we found that concentrations of DCG-IV that reduce transmission at the medial perforant path synapse reduce paired-pulse depression and do not reduce kainate-evoked currents recorded from dentate granule cells. This is consistent with the hypothesis that DCG-IV also acts by a presynaptic mechanism.

Application of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor physostigmine to conventional hippocampal slices caused a significant reduction of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) elicited by single pulse stimulation to the medial perforant path. Similar but smaller effects were obtained in the lateral perforant path and other excitatory pathways within hippocampus. The reductions were blocked by atropine, were not accompanied by evident changes in the EPSP waveform, and were eliminated by lesions to the cholinergic septo-hippocampal projections. Antidromic responses to mossy fiber stimulation, recorded in stratum granulosum, were not affected by the drug. However, paired-pulse facilitation was reliably increased, indicating that the depressed synaptic responses were secondary to reductions in transmitter release. The absence of cholinergic axo-axonic connections in the molecular layer suggests that physostigmine reduces presynaptic release by increasing retrograde signaling from the granule cells. In accord with this, an antagonist of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor eliminated the effects of physostigmine on synaptic responses, while an antagonist of the presynaptically located m2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor did not. This is in contrast to previously reported effects involving application of cholinergic agonists, in which presynaptic inhibition likely results from direct activation of presynaptically located muscarinic receptors. In summary, it is proposed that the cholinergic inputs from the septum to the middle molecular layer modulate, via endocannabinoid release, the potency of the primary excitatory afferent of hippocampus.

We used whole cell patch clamp and gramicidin perforated patch recordings in hippocampal slices to study γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) currents in granule cells (GCs) from juvenile rat dentate gyrus (DG). GCs are generated postnatally and asynchronously such that they can be detected at different stages of their maturation in DG within the first month. In contrast, inhibitory interneurons are generated embryonically, and their circuitry is well developed even as their target GCs and GC excitatory connections are still being formed. In this study, two GABA currents evoked in GCs by medial perforant path stimulation are compared. The first, pharmacologically isolated by glutamate receptor blockade, is the product of direct activation of GABA interneurons with monosynaptic input to the recorded GC (monosynaptic GABAA). Monosynaptic GABAA displays slight outward rectification of its current-voltage relation, is 97% eliminated by 10 μM bicuculline and coincides temporally with the excitatory components of GC postsynaptic currents as has been described for GABAA currents in other brain regions. The second is a novel GABA response that is detectable in 10 μM bicuculline and is present on GCs only at the earliest stages of their maturation. Unlike monosynaptic GABAA, this transient GABA is eliminated by glutamate receptor blockade and hence is likely to be generated by interneurons activated via an intervening glutamatergic synapse (polysynaptically). It is predominantly chloride mediated, has a relative bicarbonate/chloride permeability ratio of 26%, and is unchanged by bath-applied saclofen and strychnine or by intracellular calcium chelation. It is 97% antagonized by 100 μM picrotoxin and 99% antagonized by 100 μM bicuculline. This current is thus a relatively bicuculline (BMI)-resistant GABAA current (BMIR-GABAA). Compared with monosynaptic GABAA, BMIR-GABAA has a later peak, slower time course of decay, and marked outward rectification. Its reversal potential is 7–8 mV depolarized to that of monosynaptic GABAA whether recorded in whole cell or with gramicidin perforated patch to preserve native internal chloride concentration. Together these data may suggest that BMIR-GABAA is evoked by an anatomically segregated population of interneurons activating a unique, developmentally regulated GABAA receptor. Further, the transient nature of this current coupled with its temporal characteristics that preclude overlap with the excitatory components of the synaptic response are consistent with a role that is trophic or signaling rather than primarily inhibitory.

Inhibitory Circuits

Repeated seizures induce mossy fiber axon sprouting, which reorganizes synaptic connectivity in the dentate gyrus. To examine the possibility that sprouted mossy fiber axons may form recurrent excitatory circuits, connectivity between granule cells in the dentate gyrus was examined in transverse hippocampal slices from normal rats and epileptic rats that experienced seizures induced by kindling and kainic acid. The experiments were designed to functionally assess seizure-induced development of recurrent circuitry by exploiting information available about the time course of seizure-induced synaptic reorganization in the kindling model and detailed anatomic characterization of sprouted fibers in the kainic acid model. When recurrent inhibitory circuits were blocked by the GABAAreceptor antagonist bicuculline, focal application of glutamate microdrops at locations in the granule cell layer remote from the recorded granule cell evoked trains of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and population burst discharges in epileptic rats, which were never observed in slices from normal rats. The EPSPs and burst discharges were blocked by bath application of 1 μM tetrodotoxin and were therefore dependent on network-driven synaptic events. Excitatory connections were detected between blades of the dentate gyrus in hippocampal slices from rats that experienced kainic acid–induced status epilepticus. Trains of EPSPs and burst discharges were also evoked in granule cells from kindled rats obtained after ≥1 wk of kindled seizures, but were not evoked in slices examined 24 h after a single afterdischarge, before the development of sprouting. Excitatory connectivity between blades of the dentate gyrus was also assessed in slices deafferented by transection of the perforant path, and bathed in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) containing bicuculline to block GABAA receptor–dependent recurrent inhibitory circuits and 10 mM [Ca2+]o to suppress polysynaptic activity. Low-intensity electrical stimulation of the infrapyramidal blade under these conditions failed to evoke a response in suprapyramidal granule cells from normal rats ( n = 15), but in slices from epileptic rats evoked an EPSP at a short latency (2.59 ± 0.36 ms) in 5 of 18 suprapyramidal granule cells. The results are consistent with formation of monosynaptic excitatory connections between blades of the dentate gyrus. Recurrent excitatory circuits developed in the dentate gyrus of epileptic rats in a time course that corresponded to the development of mossy fiber sprouting and demonstrated patterns of functional connectivity corresponding to anatomic features of the sprouted mossy fiber pathway.

The selective loss of somatostatin (SST)-containing interneurons from the hilus of the dentate gyrus is a hallmark of epileptic hippocampus. The functional consequence of this loss, including its contribution to postseizure hyperexcitability, remains unclear. We address this issue by characterizing the actions of SST in mouse dentate gyrus using electrophysiological techniques. Although the majority of dentate SST receptors are located in the outer molecular layer adjacent to lateral perforant path (LPP) synapses, we found no consistent action of SST on standard synaptic responses generated at these synapses. However, when SST was present during application of high-frequency trains that normally generate long-term potentiation (LTP), the induction of LTP was impaired. SST did not alter the maintenance of LTP when applied after its induction. To examine the mechanism by which SST inhibits LTP, we recorded from dentate granule cells and examined the actions of this neuropeptide on synaptic transmission and postsynaptic currents. Unlike findings in the CA1 hippocampus, we observed no postsynaptic actions on K+ currents. Instead, SST inhibited Ca2+/Ba2+ spikes evoked by depolarization. This inhibition was dependent on N-type Ca2+currents. Blocking these currents also blocked LTP, suggesting a mechanism through which SST may inhibit LTP. Our results indicate that SST reduction of dendritic Ca2+ through N-type Ca2+ channels may contribute to modulation of synaptic plasticity at LPP synapses. Therefore the loss of SST function postseizure could result in abnormal synaptic potentiation that contributes to epileptogenesis.

Serotonergic fibers from the raphe nuclei project to the hippocampal formation, the activity of which is known to modulate the inhibitory interneurons in the dentate gyrus. On the other hand, serotonergic modulation of the excitatory synapses in the dentate gyrus is not well examined. In the present study, we examined the effects of 5-HT on the excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in the dentate granule cells evoked by the selective stimulation of the lateral perforant path (LPP), the medial perforant path (MPP), or the mossy cell fibers (MCF). 5-HT depressed the amplitude of unitary EPSPs (uEPSPs) evoked by the stimulation of LPP or MPP, whereas uEPSPs evoked by MCF stimulation were little affected. The effect was partly explained by the decrease of the resting membrane resistance following the activation of 5-HT1A receptors, which was confirmed by computer simulations. We also found that the probability of evoking uEPSP by LPP stimulation but not MPP or MCF stimulation was reduced by 5-HT and that the paired-pulse ratio of LPP-evoked EPSP but not that of MPP- or MCF-evoked ones was increased by 5-HT. These effects were blocked by 5-HT2 antagonist, suggesting that the transmitter release in the LPP-granule cell synapse is inhibited by the activation of 5-HT2 receptors. The present results suggest that 5-HT can modulate the EPSPs in the dentate granule cells by at least two distinct mechanisms
