Karachot, Laddawan, Yoshinori Shirai, Réjan Vigot, Tetsuo Yamamori, and Masao Ito. Induction of Long-Term Depression in Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Requires a Rapidly Turned Over Protein. J. Neurophysiol. 86: 280-289, 2001. Evidence is presented indicating that the induction of long-term depression (LTD) in Purkinje cells (PCs) requires a rapidly turned over protein(s) during a critical time period within 15 min after the onset of LTD-inducing stimulation and that synthesis of this protein is maintained by mRNAs supplied via transcription. LTD was induced in granule cell axon (GA)-to-PC synapses by stimulation of these synapses at 1 Hz for 5 min in conjunction with the climbing fibers (CFs) forming synapses on the same PCs and represented by a persistent reduction in the GA-induced excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs). Not only a prolonged but also a brief (5 min) pulse application of translational inhibitors (anisomycin, puromycin, or cycloheximide) effectively blocked the LTD induction. Pulses applied during the period from 30 min before to 10 min after the onset of conjunctive stimulation blocked the LTD induction, but those applied 15 min after were ineffective. The three translational inhibitors blocked the LTD induction similarly, suggesting that the effect is due to their common action of inhibiting protein synthesis. Infusion of a mRNA cap analogue (7-methyl GTP) into PCs also blocked LTD induction, ensuring that the postsynaptic protein synthesis within PCs is required for LTD induction. Transcriptional inhibitors, actinomycin D and 5,6-dichloro-l-beta -D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole, also blocked the LTD induction, but this effect was apparent when 5-min pulses of the transcriptional inhibitors preceded the conjunctive stimulation by 30 min or more. This time lag of 30 min is presumed to be required for depletion of the protein(s) required for LTD induction. The presently observed effects of translational and transcriptional inhibitors on the LTD induction are of temporal characteristics corresponding to their depressant effects on the type-1 metabotropic glutamate-receptor (mGluR1)-mediated slow EPSPs in PCs as we have reported recently. An antagonist of mGluR1s [(RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid], however, did not block LTD induction when it was applied during the 10-min period following conjunctive stimulation, where translational inhibitors effectively blocked LTD induction. This discrepancy in time course suggests that the rapidly turned over protein(s) required for LTD induction is involved in a process occurring downstream of the activation of mGluR1s.
