Sensory experience during developmental critical periods has lifelong consequences for circuit function and behavior, but the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which experience causes these changes are not well understood. The antennal lobe houses synapses between olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and downstream projection neurons (PNs) in stereotyped glomeruli. Many glomeruli exhibit structural plasticity in response to early-life odor exposure, indicating a general sensitivity of the fly olfactory circuitry to early sensory experience. We recently found that glia shape antennal lobe development in young adults, leading us to ask if glia also drive experience-dependent plasticity during this period. Here, we define a critical period for structural and functional plasticity of OSN-PN synapses in the ethyl butyrate (EB)-sensitive glomerulus VM7. EB exposure for the first 2 days post-eclosion drives large-scale reductions in glomerular volume, presynapse number, and post- synaptic activity. Crucially, pruning during the critical period has long-term consequences for circuit function since both OSN-PN synapse number and spontaneous activity of PNs remain persistently decreased following early-life odor exposure. The highly conserved engulfment receptor Draper is required for this critical period plasticity as ensheathing glia upregulate Draper, invade the VM7 glomerulus, and phagocytose OSN presynaptic terminals in response to critical-period EB exposure. Loss of Draper fully suppresses the morphological and physiological consequences of critical period odor exposure, arguing that phagocytic glia engulf intact synaptic terminals. These data demonstrate experience-dependent pruning of synapses and argue that olfactory circuitry is a powerful model for defining the function of glia in critical period plasticity.
发育关键期的感觉体验会对神经回路功能和行为产生终身影响,但对于体验引发这些变化的分子和细胞机制,我们还知之甚少。触角叶在刻板的小球体中容纳嗅觉感觉神经元(OSN)和下游投射神经元(PN)之间的突触。许多小球体在幼年时期接触气味后会表现出结构可塑性,这表明果蝇嗅觉回路对早期感觉体验具有普遍敏感性。我们最近发现神经胶质细胞塑造了成年果蝇触角叶的发育,这促使我们思考神经胶质细胞在此期间是否也驱动依赖于体验的可塑性。在这里,我们定义了丁酸乙酯(EB)敏感小球体VM7中OSN - PN突触结构和功能可塑性的关键期。羽化后前两天暴露于EB会导致小球体体积、突触前数量和突触后活动大幅减少。至关重要的是,关键期的修剪对神经回路功能具有长期影响,因为在幼年时期接触气味后,OSN - PN突触数量和PN的自发活动持续减少。高度保守的吞噬受体Draper是这种关键期可塑性所必需的,因为包被神经胶质细胞会上调Draper,侵入VM7小球体,并在关键期EB暴露后吞噬OSN突触前末端。Draper的缺失完全抑制了关键期气味暴露的形态和生理后果,这表明吞噬性神经胶质细胞吞噬完整的突触末端。这些数据证明了突触的依赖于体验的修剪,并表明嗅觉回路是定义神经胶质细胞在关键期可塑性中功能的有力模型。
