© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Long-term depression (LTD) of AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPA receptor)-mediated synaptic transmission has been proposed as a cellular substrate for learning and memory. Although activity-induced AMPA receptor endocytosis is believed to underlie LTD, it remains largely unclear whether LTD and AMPA receptor endocytosis at specific synapses are causally linked to learning and memory in vivo. Here we developed a new optogenetic tool, termed PhotonSABER, which enabled the temporal, spatial, and cell-type-specific control of AMPA receptor endocytosis at active synapses, while the basal synaptic properties and other forms of synaptic plasticity were unaffected. We found that fiberoptic illumination to Purkinje cells expressing PhotonSABER in vivo inhibited cerebellar motor learning during adaptation of the horizontal optokinetic response and vestibulo-ocular reflex, as well as synaptic AMPA receptor decrease in the flocculus. Our results demonstrate that LTD and AMPA receptor endocytosis at specific neuronal circuits were directly responsible for motor learning in vivo. Video Abstract: Kakegawa et al. show that AMPA receptor endocytosis at parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses in the cerebellar flocculus plays a direct role in motor learning in vivo, using a new optogenetic tool, PhotonSABER, which enables the acute inhibition of AMPA receptor endocytosis during LTD.

© 2018, Histology and Histopathology. All rights reserved. Rab family small GTPases play essential roles in various cellular events via the regulation of intracellular logistics comprising a large number of membrane traffic pathways. Emerging evidence reveals the physiological roles of Rab proteins in several tissues, including developing brains. Many Rab proteins, such as Rab5, Rab6, Rab7, Rab8, Rab10, Rab11, Rab17 and Rab18, are shown to regulate neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells and/or axon and dendrite formation in primary cultured neurons. Recent studies have also revealed in vivo roles of several Rab family small GTPases in brain development and its related neurological disorders. In this review, we introduce the physiological function of Rab family proteins in neural development with particular focus on neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration.

© 2017, © International Headache Society 2017. Background: Recent genome-wide association studies have identified transient receptor potential M8 (TRPM8) as a migraine susceptibility gene. TRPM8 is a nonselective cation channel that mediates cool perception. However, its precise role in migraine pathophysiology is elusive. Transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1) is a nonselective cation channel activated by noxious heat. Both TRPM8 and TRPV1 are expressed in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. Methods: We investigated the functional roles of TRPM8 and TRPV1 in a meningeal inflammation-based migraine model by measuring the effects of facial TRPM8 activation on thermal allodynia and assessing receptor coexpression changes in TG neurons. We performed retrograde tracer labeling to identify TG neurons innervating the face and dura. Results: We found that pharmacological TRPM8 activation reversed the meningeal inflammation-induced lowering of the facial heat pain threshold, an effect abolished by genetic ablation of TRPM8. No significant changes in the heat pain threshold were seen in sham-operated animals. Meningeal inflammation caused dynamic alterations in TRPM8/TRPV1 coexpression patterns in TG neurons, and colocalization was most pronounced when the ameliorating effect of TRPM8 activation on thermal allodynia was maximal. Our tracer assay disclosed the presence of dura-innervating TG neurons sending collaterals to the face. Approximately half of them were TRPV1-positive. We also demonstrated functional inhibition of TRPV1 by TRPM8 in a cell-based assay using c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation as a surrogate marker. Conclusions: Our findings provide a plausible mechanism to explain how facial TRPM8 activation can relieve migraine by suppressing TRPV1 activity. Facial TRPM8 appears to be a promising therapeutic target for migraine.

Two Classes of Secreted Synaptic Organizers in the Central Nervous System

　View Summary

© 2018 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved. Research in the last two decades has identified many synaptic organizers in the central nervous system that directly regulate the assembly of pre- and/or postsynaptic molecules, such as synaptic vesicles, active zone proteins, and neurotransmitter receptors. They are classified into secreted factors and cell adhesion molecules, such as neurexins and neuroligins. Certain secreted factors are termed extracellular scaffolding proteins (ESPs) because they are components of the synaptic extracellular matrix and serve as a scaffold at the synaptic cleft. These include Lgi1, Cbln1, neuronal pentraxins, Hevin, thrombospondins, and glypicans. Diffusible secreted factors, such as Wnts, fibroblast growth factors, and semaphorins, tend to act from a distance. In contrast, ESPs remain at the synaptic cleft and often help synaptic adhesion and/or accumulation of postsynaptic receptors. Many fundamental questions remain about when, how, and why various synaptic organizers establish and modify the vast numbers of connections during development and throughout life.
