These receptors are composed of different subunits and the subunit composition can\r\naffect channel properties, receptor trafficking and interaction with other associated proteins.\r\nUsing the high sensitivity SDS-digested freeze-fracture replica labeling (SDS-FRL) for\r\nelectron microscopy I investigated the number, density, and localization of AMPAR subunits,\r\nGluA1, GluA2, GluA3, and GluA1-3 (panAMPA) in pyramidal cells in the CA1 area of mouse\r\nhippocampus. I have found that the immunogold labeling for all of these subunits in the\r\npostsynaptic sites was highest in stratum radiatum and lowest in stratum lacunosummoleculare. The labeling density for the all subunits in the extrasynaptic sites showed a gradual\r\nincrease from the pyramidal cell soma towards the distal part of stratum radiatum. The densities\r\nof extrasynaptic GluA1, GluA2 and panAMPA labeling reached 10-15% of synaptic densities,\r\nwhile the ratio of extrasynaptic labeling for GluA3 was significantly lower compared than those\r\nfor other subunits. The labeling patterns for GluA1, GluA2 and GluA1-3 are similar and their\r\ndensities were higher in the periphery than center of synapses. In contrast, the GluA3-\r\ncontaining receptors were more centrally localized compared to the GluA1- and GluA2-\r\ncontaining receptors.\r\nThe hippocampus plays a central role in learning and memory. Contextual learning has been\r\nshown to require the delivery of AMPA receptors to CA1 synapses in the dorsal hippocampus.\r\nHowever, proximodistal heterogeneity of this plasticity and particular contribution of different\r\nAMPA receptor subunits are not fully understood. By combining inhibitory avoidance task, a\r\nhippocampus-dependent contextual fear-learning paradigm, with SDS-FRL, I have revealed an\r\nincrease in synaptic density specific to GluA1-containing AMPA receptors in the CA1 area.\r\nThe intrasynaptic distribution of GluA1 also changed from the periphery to center-preferred\r\npattern. Furthermore, this synaptic plasticity was evident selectively in stratum radiatum but\r\nnot stratum oriens, and in the CA1 subregion proximal but not distal to CA2. These findings\r\nfurther contribute to our understanding of how specific hippocampal subregions and AMPA\r\nreceptor subunits are involved in physiological learning.\r\nAlthough the immunolabeling results above shed light on subunit-specific plasticity in\r\nAMPAR distribution, no tools to visualize and study the subunit composition at the single\r\nchannel level in situ have been available. Electron microscopy with conventional immunogold\r\nlabeling approaches has limitations in the single channel analysis because of the large size of\r\nantibodies and steric hindrance hampering multiple subunit labeling of single channels. I\r\nmanaged to develop a new chemical labeling system using a short peptide tag and small\r\nsynthetic probes, which form specific covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the tag fused to\r\nproteins of interest (reactive tag system). I additionally made substantial progress into adapting\r\nthis system for AMPA receptor subunits."}],"related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"7391","relation":"part_of_dissertation"}]},"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"RySh"}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"chicago":"Jevtic, Marijo. “Contextual Fear Learning Induced Changes in AMPA Receptor Subtypes along the Proximodistal Axis in Dorsal Hippocampus.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2022. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/at:ista:11393\">https://doi.org/10.15479/at:ista:11393</a>.","apa":"Jevtic, M.
