2 Presynaptic Ca 2+ channels: types and distribution
3
4 The synaptic transmission
5 The classical approach to identify the contribution of presynaptic Ca 2+ channels in central synapses
6 Action potential-evoked GABAergic IPSCs ldelli et al. (2002) Europ J Neurosci 16: 2297 pre post Monosynaptic preparation
7 Mintz et al., 1995 Neuron 15: 675 presynaptic stimuli postsynaptic recording presynaptic Ca 2+ -entry (fluorescence) Ca 2+ entry at cerebellar excitatory synapses is controlled by N, P/Q and R-type channels
8 . while neurotransmitter release is controlled only by N and P/Q-type channels
9 GABA release is controlled by N- and P/Q-type Ca channels in interneurons of hippocampal slices Wilson et al., 2001 Neuron 31: 453 N-type channels P/Q-type channels N and P/Q-type channels
10 From these experiments we can conclude that: Ca 2+ enters through various voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels (N, P/Q, R.. L, T) Secretion is strictly associated to N and P/Q-type channels, which are possibly co-localized to the release sites There are release sites controlled by P/Q, others controlled by N and a group controlled by N and P/Q
11
12 Supra-additivity supports a model of synaptic terminals with a nonuniform distribution of Ca 2+ channels
13 A direct approach to study presynaptic Ca 2+ channels and neurosecretion: the giant synapse of the calyx of Held
14 The calyx of Held allows to record directly presynaptic and postsynaptic currents presynaptic calyx Glutamatergic giant synapse principal neuron in the MNTB nucleus 0.3 mm pre MNTB (Medial Nucleus of the Trapezoid Body) in the brainstem of the acustic pathway post
15 P-type channels control fully the EPSCs but partially presynaptic [Ca 2+ ] aga aga N-type channels control partially the EPSCs and presynaptic [Ca 2+ ] GVIA GVIA
16 P-type channels have a steeper Ca 2+ -dependence than N-type channels P-type N-type Release [Ca terminal ] m Wu et al., 1999 J Neurosci, 19: 726
17 P/Q-type and N-type channels co-localize with synaptotagmin Ca 2+ channels synaptotagmin merge P/Q-type (a1 A ) N-type (a1 B ) R-type (a1 E )
18 Why N and P/Q channels are co-localized at the release sites?
19 Exist a strict interaction between Ca 2+ channels (P/Q and N), membrane-binding and vesicle-binding proteins Catteral, 2000 Annu Rev Cell Dev Bio. 16: 521
20 Co-localization of N and P/Q type channels at the release sites is favoured by the interaction of a channel region (synprint) with syntaxin and other vesicle binding proteins from Purves et al., 2004 Neuroscience, Sinauer Associated Inc.
21 The synprint region
22 Are N and P/Q-type channels the only voltagegated Ca 2+ channels controlling neurotransmitter release?
23 In isolated hippocampal neurones, focal stimulation is controlled by L-type channels IPSCs In slices, presynaptic response is controlled by N and P/Q-type channels IPSCs
24 . a possible explanation
25 In isolated hippocampal neurons the post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) is controlled by L-type channels IPSCs (before PTP, at normal stimulation, 0.2 Hz) IPSCs (after PTP, at normal stimulation, 0.2 Hz)
26 R- and L-type Ca 2+ channels contribute to secretion during prolonged presynaptic stimuli
27 Action potential-evoked GABAergic IPSCs pre post Monosynaptic preparation ldelli et al. (2002) Europ J Neurosci 16: 2297
28 Contribution of N and P/Q-type channels to AP-evoked IPSCs in cultured hippocampal neurons Baldelli et al. (2005) J Neurosci 25: 3358
29 KCl-evoked IPSCs induce long lasting eipscs with comparable amplitudes and pharmacology Baldelli et al. (2002) Europ J Neurosci 16: 2297
30 Contribution of R-type channels is enhanced during KCl-evoked IPSCs ldelli et al. (2002) Europ J Neurosci 16: 2297 Baldelli et al. (2005) J Neurosci 25: 3358
31 Conclusions
32 Vesicle docking, priming, depletion and replenishment are all Ca 2+ -dependent processes L L L R R N N P/Q P/Q N.. are they controlled by the same Ca channel types?
