trans-synaptic signaling by BDNF, modulating synaptic transmission
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
Cell-cell signaling between presynapse and postsynapse, via the vesicular release and reception of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), that modulates the synaptic transmission properties of the synapse. [GOC:dos]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a crucial role in trans-synaptic signaling, modulating synaptic transmission through a complex and multifaceted process. BDNF, a member of the neurotrophin family, exerts its effects by binding to its high-affinity receptor, TrkB, which is predominantly expressed on postsynaptic neurons. This binding initiates a cascade of intracellular signaling events that ultimately lead to alterations in synaptic strength and plasticity.
Upon BDNF binding to TrkB, the receptor undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation, activating its intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. This phosphorylation event triggers the recruitment and activation of downstream signaling molecules, including the phospholipase C-γ (PLC-γ) pathway, the Ras/MAPK pathway, and the PI3K/Akt pathway.
The PLC-γ pathway contributes to BDNF-mediated synaptic plasticity by promoting the release of intracellular calcium from internal stores. This calcium influx activates calcium-dependent signaling cascades, leading to changes in gene expression and protein synthesis that are essential for synaptic remodeling.
The Ras/MAPK pathway is involved in the regulation of gene transcription and protein translation, which are critical for the long-term effects of BDNF on synaptic function. Activation of this pathway leads to the phosphorylation and activation of transcription factors, such as CREB, which in turn promotes the expression of genes involved in synaptic plasticity.
The PI3K/Akt pathway plays a role in promoting neuronal survival and growth, as well as in the regulation of synaptic plasticity. Activation of this pathway leads to the phosphorylation and activation of the protein kinase Akt, which has been shown to enhance synaptic transmission by increasing the number of glutamate receptors at the synapse.
In addition to its effects on postsynaptic neurons, BDNF can also influence presynaptic function. BDNF released from postsynaptic neurons can retrogradely signal to presynaptic terminals, where it binds to TrkB receptors and triggers a cascade of signaling events that enhance presynaptic neurotransmitter release. This retrograde signaling mechanism contributes to the strengthening of synaptic connections and the establishment of long-term potentiation (LTP), a key mechanism underlying learning and memory.
Furthermore, BDNF can also act as a retrograde signal to modulate the release of other neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor (NGF). This cross-talk between neurotrophins amplifies their effects on synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity.
Overall, BDNF plays a multifaceted role in trans-synaptic signaling, modulating synaptic transmission through a complex interplay of signaling pathways and retrograde signaling mechanisms. Its ability to influence both presynaptic and postsynaptic function makes it a key regulator of synaptic plasticity and neuronal circuitry, contributing to the formation, strengthening, and maintenance of synapses. This intricate signaling network underpins a wide range of cognitive functions, including learning, memory, and neural development.'
