Chemogenetic silencing reveals presynaptic Gi/o protein-mediated inhibition of developing hippocampal synchrony in vivo
Recent advances in understanding how neuronal activity shapes developing brain circuits increasingly rely on Gi/o-dependent inhibitory chemogenetic tools (Gi-DREADDs). However, their mechanisms of action and efficacy in neurons with immature Gi/o signaling are elusive. Here, we express the Gi-DREADD hM4Di in glutamatergic telencephalic neurons and analyze its impact on CA1 pyramidal neurons in neonatal mice. Using acousto-optic two-photon Ca2+ imaging, we report that activation of hM4Di leads to a complete arrest of spontaneous synchrony in CA1 in vitro. We demonstrate that hM4Di does not cause somatic hyperpolarization or shunting but rather mediates presynaptic silencing of glutamatergic neurotransmission. In vivo, inhibition through hM4Di potently suppresses early sharp waves (eSPWs) and discontinuous oscillatory network activity in CA1 of head-fixed mice before eye opening. Our findings provide insights into the role of Gi/o signaling in synchronized activity in the neonatal hippocampus and bear relevance for applying chemogenetic silencing at early developmental stages.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
