The dynamics of excitatory synapse formation on dendritic spines. 树突棘兴奋性突触形成的动力学。

{"title":"The dynamics of excitatory synapse formation on dendritic spines.","authors":"Michelle D Amaral,&nbsp;Lucas Pozzo-Miller","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Dendritic spines, the postsynaptic compartments of most functional excitatory synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS), are highly dynamic structures, having the ability to grow, change shape, or retract in response to varying levels of neuronal activity. This dynamic nature of spines allows modifications in brain circuitry and connectivity, thus participating in fundamental processes such as learning, recall, and emotional behaviors. Although many studies have characterized the precise molecular identities and signaling pathways by which spines initially form, little is known about the actual time course over which they mature into functional postsynaptic compartments of excitatory synapses. A recent publication in Neuron addresses this issue by studying dendritic spine growth in response to multiphoton glutamate uncaging, simultaneously monitoring the amplitudes of the resultant postsynaptic currents and intracellular Ca(2+) transients within individual spines in CA1 pyramidal neurons in organotypic cultures of postnatal hippocampal slices. The authors describe that dendritic spines are able to respond to glutamate shortly after their formation, leading to the conclusion that spine growth and glutamate receptor recruitment are closely coupled temporally. AMPA receptor-mediated currents exhibited similar amplitudes in newly formed spines compared with older, more mature spines when their volume was taken into account. In addition, NMDA receptor-mediated currents also appeared early after spine formation, although the amount of Ca(2+) entry through these receptors was significantly lower in newly formed spines compared to older, mature spines. Within just a couple of hours, these newly formed spines were contacted by presynaptic terminals, thus acquiring a morphological appearance indistinguishable from already existing mature excitatory synapses.</p>","PeriodicalId":87394,"journal":{"name":"Cellscience","volume":"5 4","pages":"19-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805008/pdf/nihms166543.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28645834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Now a recent paper by Carpten et al. in Nature has identified and analyzed one such mutation; specifically, E17K in the lipid binding pocket of the Akt plextrin homology (PH domain). This study is a tour de force that (i) pinpoints a mutation widespread in human cancers, (ii) analyzes the effect of this mutation on lipid binding domain structure, (iii) shows that the mutation enhances plasma membrane recruitment, and (iv) demonstrates that such recruitment is linked to Akt pathway superactivation, cellular transformation and tumor formation. Overall, the work provides the most convincing illustration to date that a mutation altering the membrane docking of a lipid binding domain can directly trigger cancer.

This review expands upon our previous hypothesis that the interaction occurs at sites that project to the pontine nuclei (Weiss & Disterhoft, 1996), by offering more details on the function of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during acquisition and the circuitry involved in facilitating pontine input to the cerebellum as a necessary requisite for trace eyeblink conditioning. Our discussion describes the role of the hippocampus, caudal anterior cingulate gyrus, basal ganglia, thalamus, and sensory cortex, including the benefit of utilizing the whisker barrel cortical system.
