Gabapentin Receptor α2δ-1 Is a Neuronal Thrombospondin Receptor Responsible for Excitatory CNS Synaptogenesis
Open accessAbstract
Synapses are asymmetric cellular adhesions that are critical for nervous system development and function, but the mechanisms that induce their formation are not well understood. We have previously identified thrombospondin as an astrocyte-secreted protein that promotes central nervous system (CNS) synaptogenesis. Here, we identify the neuronal thrombospondin receptor involved in CNS synapse formation as alpha2delta-1, the receptor for the anti-epileptic and analgesic drug gabapentin. We show that the VWF-A domain of alpha2delta-1 interacts with the epidermal growth factor-like repeats common to all thrombospondins. alpha2delta-1 overexpression increases synaptogenesis in vitro and in vivo and is required postsynaptically for thrombospondin- and astrocyte-induced synapse formation in vitro. Gabapentin antagonizes thrombospondin binding to alpha2delta-1 and powerfully inhibits excitatory synapse formation in vitro and in vivo. These findings identify alpha2delta-1 as a receptor involved in excitatory synapse formation and suggest that gabapentin may function therapeutically by blocking new synapse formation.

Astrocytes secrete thrombospondins, which bind their receptors α2δ1 on neurons to stimulate synapse formation.
“For example, astrocytes secrete thrombospondins, which bind their receptors ␣2␦1 on neurons to stimulate synapse formation (Christopherson et al., 2005;Eroglu et al., 2009).”
From An RNA-Sequencing Transcriptome and Splicing Database of Glia, Neurons, and Vascular Cells of the Cerebral Cortex (2014) · cites this paper as Eroglu et al., 2009
Proteins released by astrocytes influence synaptogenesis, for example thrombospondins and the gabapentin receptor, Hevin and SPARC, or Pentraxin 3 that promotes excitatory synapse formation by fostering clustering of AMPA glutamate receptors.
“Beyond these PNN-associated compounds also proteins released by astrocytes influence synaptogenesis, for example thrombospondins and the gabapentin receptor55,73, Hevin and SPARC56, or Pentraxin 3 that promotes excitatory synapse formation by fostering the clustering of AMPA glutamate receptors74.”

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.
