Regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) secretion plays a critical role in long-term potentiation (LTP). It is generally thought that the supply for this secretion is newly synthesized BDNF targeted to the synapse. Here we provide evidence that hippocampal neurons additionally recycle BDNF for activity-dependent secretion. Exogenously applied BDNF is internalized by cultured neurons and rapidly becomes available for activity-dependent secretion, which is controlled by the same mechanisms that regulate the secretion of newly synthesized BDNF. Moreover, BDNF recycling replaced the new synthesis pathway in mediating the maintenance of LTP in hippocampal slices: the late phase LTP, which is abolished by protein synthesis inhibition, was rescued in slices preincubated with BDNF. Thus, endocytosed BDNF is fed back to the activity-dependent releasable pool required for LTP maintenance.
脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)分泌的调节在长时程增强(LTP)中起着关键作用。一般认为,这种分泌的供应是靶向突触的新合成的BDNF。在这里,我们提供证据表明,海马神经元还会回收BDNF用于依赖活动的分泌。外源性应用的BDNF被培养的神经元内化,并迅速可用于依赖活动的分泌,其受调控新合成BDNF分泌的相同机制控制。此外,BDNF回收在介导海马切片中LTP的维持方面取代了新合成途径:蛋白质合成抑制可消除的晚期LTP,在用BDNF预孵育的切片中得以挽救。因此,内吞的BDNF被反馈到LTP维持所需的依赖活动的可释放池中。
