Abstract

Accumulating data support the importance of interactions between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal elements with astroglial processes and extracellular matrix (ECM) for formation and plasticity of chemical synapses, and thus validate the concept of a tetrapartite synapse. Here we outline the major mechanisms driving: (i) synaptogenesis by secreted extracellular scaffolding molecules, like thrombospondins (TSPs), neuronal pentraxins (NPs) and cerebellins, which respectively promote presynaptic, postsynaptic differentiation or both; (ii) maturation of synapses via reelin and integrin ligands-mediated signaling; and (iii) regulation of synaptic plasticity by ECM-dependent control of induction and consolidation of new synaptic configurations. Particularly, we focused on potential importance of activity-dependent concerted activation of multiple extracellular proteases, such as ADAMTS4/5/15, MMP9 and neurotrypsin, for permissive and instructive events in synaptic remodeling through localized degradation of perisynaptic ECM and generation of proteolytic fragments as inducers of synaptic plasticity.

Statistics

Figure 1 Extracellular matrix (ECM) in structural and functional synaptic plasticity. (A) (1) Cerebellin 1 (Cbln1) released from presynaptic neurons binds to its presynaptic α- and β-neurexins (α/βNrxn) receptors and directly recruits postsynaptic GluD2 located on postsynaptic neurons. The tripartite complex induces and maintains excitatory synapses. (2) Neuronal pentraxin 1 and 2 (NP1/2) and neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPR) co-aggregate with GluA4 subunit-containing AMPARs in neurons. Cleavage of NPR by TACE triggers AMPAR endocytosis during LTD. NP1/2 are secreted mainly from the presynaptic side, but where they bind to NPR remains unclear. (3) Integrins are involved in homeostatic synaptic scaling. Pharmacological blockade of action potentials leads to a “scaling up” of the AMPARs present at the synapse. This requires an increase of β3 integrins at the surface, which results in inhibition of the small GTPase Rap1, which normally stimulates the endocytic removal of GluA2-containing AMPARs from the cell surface. As a net outcome, synaptic expression of AMPARs is increased, resulting in larger excitatory postsynaptic currents. This mechanism is most likely negatively regulated by SPARC. (4) Hevin secreted from astrocytes induces synaptogenesis by bridging direct interaction-incompatible Neurexin-1α (Nrx1α) and Neuroligin-1B (NL1B) across the synaptic cleft. SPARC strongly inhibits Hevin-induced excitatory synaptogenesis in vitro. (B) (5) The neuronal serine protease neurotrypsin (NT) is stored in presynaptic terminals and secreted in an inactive form in response to presynaptic action potential (AP) firing. NT contains a pro-domain that inhibits its proteolytic activity. Its activation requires a zymogen activation presumably by a proprotein convertase (PC). Activated neurotrypsin cleaves agrin and yields a C-terminal 22-kDa fragment (Ag22), which inhibits the α3 subunit of the Na+/K+ ATPase (α3NKA) and induces dendritic filopodia formation. (6) Reelin signals through its receptors, very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) and apolipoprotein E receptor type 2 (APOER2), which interact with adaptor protein disabled 1 (Dab1). Activation of reelin signaling pathway results in cytoplasmic adaptor protein disabled 1 (Dab1) phosphorylation via the Src family of tyrosine kinases (SFK), activation of SFKs and tyrosine phosphorylation of NMDARs that increases receptor activity. This mechanism induces LTP and spinogenesis and it is negatively regulated by ADAMTS dependent reelin cleavage. (7) Hyaluronic acid and tenascin-C support the activity of neuronal L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (LVGCCs). Ca2+ influx through NMDARs and LGCCs induces diverse forms of LTP.CC BY · PubMed Central

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.
