The hippocampus, an important brain region for synaptic plasticity and memory formation, expresses the RyR3 channel isoform in dendritic spines of rat primary hippocampal neurons. In contrast, the RyR2 isoform is mainly expressed in the neuronal body and neurites but absent from dendritic spines. This asymmetric distribution may play a crucial role in hippocampal neuronal function, particularly in regulating synaptic plasticity and memory processes.
The hippocampus is a brain region implicated in synaptic plasticity and memory formation; both processes require neuronal Ca2+ signals generated by Ca2+ entry via plasma membrane Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Through Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, the ER-resident ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ channels amplify and propagate Ca2+ entry signals, leading to activation of cytoplasmic and nuclear Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways required for synaptic plasticity and memory processes. Earlier reports have shown that mice and rat hippocampus expresses mainly the RyR2 isoform, with lower expression levels of the RyR3 isoform and almost undetectable levels of the RyR1 isoform; both the RyR2 and RyR3 isoforms have central roles in synaptic plasticity and hippocampal-dependent memory processes. Here, we describe that dendritic spines of rat primary hippocampal neurons express the RyR3 channel isoform, which is also expressed in the neuronal body and neurites. In contrast, the RyR2 isoform, which is widely expressed in the neuronal body and neurites of primary hippocampal neurons, is absent from the dendritic spines. We propose that this asymmetric distribution is of relevance for hippocampal neuronal function. We suggest that the RyR3 isoform amplifies activity-generated Ca2+ entry signals at postsynaptic dendritic spines, from where they propagate to the dendrite and activate primarily RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release, leading to Ca2+ signal propagation into the soma and the nucleus where they activate the expression of genes that mediate synaptic plasticity and memory.
