Glutamate release and synapsin-I phosphorylation induced by P2X7 receptors activation in cerebellar granule neurons

Abstract

The present work reports that activation of P2X7 receptor induces synaptic vesicle release in granule neurons and phosphorylation of synapsin-I by calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), which in turn modulates secretory event. ATP, in absence of magnesium, induced a concentration-dependent glutamate release with an EC50 value of 1.95 microM. The involvement of P2X7 receptor was suggested when maximal secretory response was significantly reduced by the selective P2X7 antagonist Brilliant Blue G (BBG; 100 nM) and abolished by removing extracellular Ca2+. The involvement of P2X7 receptor on synaptic vesicle release was confirmed by measuring the release of FM 1-43 dye. In this case, pharmacological activation of P2X7 was achieved with the more selective agonist 2'-3'-o-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP; 100 microM) showing a significant FM 1-43 release that was blocked by BBG (100 nM), by Zn2+ ions (100 microM), both P2X7 blockers, but not by suramin (100 microM), antagonist of P2X1, P2X2, P2X3 and P2X5. In addition, BzATP, through P2X7 receptor activation, significantly increased the phosphorylation of synapsin-I, the main presynaptic target of CaMKII. Both effects mediated by BzATP were inhibited by the CaMKII inhibitors KN-62 (10 microM) and KN-93 (10 microM). These results suggest, therefore, that Ca2+ entrance mediated by P2X7 receptor induces glutamate release and in parallel synapsin-I phosphorylation.

  • Studies in pure neuronal cell cultures and synaptosomes confirm that stimulation of P2X7R expressed in nerve terminals favors glutamate and GABA release.

    “The effects mediated by P2X7R in glial cells and adenosine can be avoided in studies in pure neuronal cell cultures [106] and synaptosomes [107,108,109], which confirms that stimulation of P2X7R expressed in nerve terminals favors glutamate and GABA release.”

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.
