Abstract

Extracellular matrix molecules—including chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and tenascin‐R—are enriched in perineuronal nets (PNs) associated with subsets of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. In the present study, we show that similar cell type‐dependent extracellular matrix aggregates are formed in dissociated cell cultures prepared from early postnatal mouse hippocampus. Starting from the 5th day in culture, accumulations of lattice‐like extracellular structures labeled with Wisteria floribunda agglutinin were detected at the cell surface of parvalbumin‐expressing interneurons, which developed after 2–3 weeks into conspicuous PNs localized around synaptic contacts at somata and proximal dendrites, as well as around axon initial segments. Physiological recording and intracellular labeling of PN‐expressing neurons revealed that these are large fast‐spiking interneurons with morphological characteristics of basket cells. To study mechanisms of activity‐dependent formation of PNs, we performed pharmacological analysis and found that blockade of action potentials, transmitter release, Ca 2+ permeable AMPA subtype of glutamate receptors or L‐type Ca 2+ voltage‐gated channels strongly decreased the extracellular accumulation of PN components in cultured neurons. Thus, we suggest that Ca 2+ influx via AMPA receptors and L‐type channels is necessary for activity‐dependent formation of PNs. To study functions of chondroitin sulfate‐rich PNs, we treated cultures with chondroitinase ABC that resulted in a prominent reduction of several major PN components. Removal of PNs did not affect the number and distribution of perisomatic GABAergic contacts but increased the excitability of interneurons in cultures, implicating the extracellular matrix of PNs in regulation of interneuronal activity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • PNNs are found primarily around fast-spiking, parvalbumin (PV)-containing GABAergic interneurons in many brain regions, but not all regions.

    “PNNs are found primarily around fast--spiking, parvalbumin (PV)--containing GABAergic interneurons in many brain regions (Hartig et al., 1992;Schuppel et al., 2002;Dityatev et al., 2007), but not all regions (e.g., cerebellum; see below).”

  • PNNs are formed during development in an activity-dependent manner.

    “PNNs are formed during development (Brückner et al., 2000) in an activity-dependent manner (Dityatev et al., 2007).”
  • Abnormal glutamatergic transmission, polymorphisms of genes encoding for some PNN components, and altered CSPG expression in glial cells may, independently or in conjunction, cause defective PNN maturation.

    “Abnormal glutamatergic transmission, polymorphisms of genes encoding for some of their components and altered CSPG expression in glial cells may, independently or in conjunction, cause defective PNN maturation.3, 5, 6, 7, 59”
  • PNN maturation occurs in an experience-dependent manner, requiring neuronal activation through glutamatergic excitation, availability of key PNN components, expression on neurons of ECM surface receptors, and transcription factors inducing neuronal maturation.

    “Their maturation occurs in an experience-dependent manner, requiring (i) neuronal activation through glutamatergic excitation,78 (ii) availability of key PNN components, such as specific CSPGs, link proteins and tenascin R, (iii) expression on neurons of ECM surface receptors79, 80 and (iv) transcription factors inducing neuronal maturation.25, 38”
  • These functions underlie the role of the adult ECM in neuronal excitability, receptor desensitization, long-term potentiation and long-term depression.

    “Overall, these functions underlie the role of the adult ECM to neuronal excitability, receptor desensitization, long-term potentiation and long-term depression.59, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
