Synaptotagmin-1 is a Ca2+ sensor for somatodendritic dopamine release
Cell Reports(2023)
摘要
Modes of somatodendritic transmission range from rapid synaptic signaling to protracted regulation over distance. Somatodendritic dopamine secretion in the midbrain leads to D2 receptor-induced modulation of dopamine neurons on the timescale of seconds. Temporally imprecise release mechanisms are often presumed to be at play, and previous work indeed suggested roles for slow Ca2+ sensors. We here use mouse genetics and whole-cell electrophysiology to establish that the fast Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1 (Syt-1) is important for somatodendritic dopamine release. Syt-1 ablation from dopamine neurons strongly reduces stimulus-evoked D2 receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (D2-IPSCs) in the midbrain. D2-IPSCs evoked by paired stimuli exhibit less depression, and high-frequency trains restore dopamine release. Spontaneous somatodendritic dopamine secretion is independent of Syt-1, supporting that its exocytotic mechanisms differ from evoked release. We conclude that somatodendritic dopamine transmission relies on the fast Ca2+ sensor Syt-1, leading to synchronous release in response to the initial stimulus.
