The impact of synaptic vesicle endo-exocytosis on the trafficking of nerve terminal heterotransporters was studied by monitoring membrane expression and function of the GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1) and of type-1/2 glycine (Gly) transporters (GlyT-1/2) at spinal cord glutamatergic synaptic boutons. Experiments were performed by inducing exocytosis in wild-type (WT) mice, in amphiphysin-I knockout (Amph-I KO) mice, which show impaired endocytosis, or in mice expressing high copy number of mutant human SOD1 with a Gly93Ala substitution (SOD1(G93A)), a model of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis showing constitutively excessive Glu exocytosis. Exposure of spinal cord synaptosomes from WT mice to a 35mM KCl pulse increased the expression of GAT-1 at glutamatergic synaptosomal membranes and enhanced the GAT-1 heterotransporter-induced [(3)H]d-aspartate ([(3)H]d-Asp) release. Similar results were obtained in the case of GlyT-1/2 heterotransporters. Preventing depolarization-induced exocytosis normalized the excessive GAT-1 and GlyT-1/2 heterotransporter-induced [(3)H]d-Asp release in WT mice. Impaired endocytosis in Amph-I KO mice increased GAT-1 membrane expression and [(3)H]GABA uptake in spinal cord synaptosomes. Also the GAT-1 heterotransporter-evoked release of [(3)H]d-Asp was augmented in Amph-I KO mice. The constitutively excessive Glu exocytosis in SOD1(G93A) mice resulted in augmented GAT-1 expression at glutamatergic synaptosomal membranes and GAT-1 or GlyT-1/2 heterotransporter-mediated [(3)H]d-Asp release. Thus, endo-exocytosis regulates the trafficking of GAT-1 and GlyT-1/2 heterotransporters sited at spinal cord glutamatergic nerve terminals. As a consequence, it can be hypothesized that the excessive GAT-1 and GlyT-1/2 heterotransporter-mediated Glu release, in the spinal cord of SOD1(G93A) mice, is due to the heterotransporter over-expression at the nerve terminal membrane, promoted by the excessive Glu exocytosis.
通过监测 GABA 转运体-1(GAT-1)和 1/2 型甘氨酸(Gly)转运体(GlyT-1/2)在脊髓谷氨酸能突触末梢的膜表达和功能,研究了突触小泡内吞-外排对神经末梢异源转运体运输的影响。在野生型(WT)小鼠、内吞作用受损的 amphiphysin-I 敲除(Amph-I KO)小鼠或表达高拷贝数突变型人 SOD1(G93A)的小鼠中诱导外排,进行了实验,G93A),一种表现出持续过度 Glu 外排的人类肌萎缩侧索硬化症模型。WT 小鼠脊髓突触体暴露于 35mM KCl 脉冲增加了谷氨酸能突触小体膜上 GAT-1 的表达,并增强了 GAT-1 异源转运体诱导的[(3)H]d-天冬氨酸([(3)H]d-Asp)释放。GlyT-1/2 异源转运体也得到了类似的结果。防止去极化诱导的外排使 WT 小鼠过度的 GAT-1 和 GlyT-1/2 异源转运体诱导的[(3)H]d-Asp 释放正常化。Amph-I KO 小鼠的内吞作用受损增加了脊髓突触体中的 GAT-1 膜表达和[(3)H]GABA 摄取。GlyT-1/2 异源转运体诱导的[(3)H]d-Asp 释放也在 Amph-I KO 小鼠中增加。SOD1(G93A)小鼠中持续过度的 Glu 外排导致谷氨酸能突触小体膜上 GAT-1 表达增加,以及 GAT-1 或 GlyT-1/2 异源转运体介导的[(3)H]d-Asp 释放增加。因此,内吞-外排调节了位于脊髓谷氨酸能神经末梢的 GAT-1 和 GlyT-1/2 异源转运体的运输。因此,可以假设 SOD1(G93A)小鼠脊髓中过度的 GAT-1 和 GlyT-1/2 异源转运体介导的 Glu 释放是由于神经末梢膜上异源转运体的过度表达,这是由过度的 Glu 外排所促进的。
