Long-term depression: a cell biological view

Abstract: Recent studies of the molecular mechanisms of long-term depression (LTD) suggest a crucial role for the signalling pathways of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the weakening and elimination of synapses and dendritic spines. With this backdrop, we suggest that LTD can be considered as the electrophysiological aspect of a larger cell biological programme of synapse involution, which uses localized apoptotic mechanisms to sculpt synapses and circuits without causing cell death.

“…Interestingly, presynaptic mitochondrial morphology has been shown to correlate with impaired working memory in monkey brain 53 . Moreover, the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway can be moderately and locally activated to induce LTD, resulting in shrinkage and loss of dendritic spines in the absence of cell death 54,55 . This system as well as mitochondria morphological changes are sensitive to sublethal mitochondrial stress 55,56 , which can be induced by excess of Ca 2+ through disinhibition of glutamate release as a result of GABAergic dysfunction or by loss of Ca 2+ buffering capacity through loss of parvalbumin 57 , both observed in Brd1 +/mice 9 .…”

“…Spines are not static structures, but exhibit morphological plasticity in response to synaptic activity (5). Long-term potentiation inducing stimuli promote enlargement of spine heads, whereas stimuli that correlate with long-term depression induce spine shrinkage (6,7). The ability of pyramidal neurons to generate appropriate spine and synaptic architecture and modulate it in response to synaptic activity is critical for the integrity of the cellular machinery that underlies information storage (8 -10).…”

“…Indeed, mice whose genomic CamKIIα was altered so that its mRNA no longer localized to the PSD showed deficits in learning and establishing LTP at the cellular level . Importantly, nearby inactive synaptic connections, which do not receive any newly synthesized proteins, undergo long‐term depression and are eventually eliminated by synaptic pruning . In line with this model, the overexpression of the Fragile X mental retardation protein, which inhibits the translation of dendritically‐targeted mRNAs, results in an overall reduction in PSDs, while deletion of this gene has the opposite effect …”
