trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
Cell-cell signaling between presynapse and postsynapse, via the release and reception of endocannabinoid ligands, that modulates the synaptic transmission properties of the synapse. [GOC:dos, PMID:21531987]
Endocannabinoid-mediated trans-synaptic signaling is a crucial mechanism regulating neuronal activity, influencing synaptic plasticity and contributing to various physiological functions. This process involves the release of endocannabinoids, lipid messengers synthesized on demand, from postsynaptic neurons in response to neuronal activity. The primary endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), are produced by different enzymes, with AEA synthesized by N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) and 2-AG by diacylglycerol lipase (DAGL). Once released, endocannabinoids diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to cannabinoid receptors (CB1) predominantly located on presynaptic terminals. CB1 activation triggers a signaling cascade involving the Gi/o protein and the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, leading to a decrease in intracellular cAMP levels. This, in turn, reduces the activity of protein kinase A (PKA), ultimately leading to a dampening of presynaptic neurotransmitter release. The modulation of synaptic transmission by endocannabinoids is highly context-dependent, acting as a negative feedback mechanism to control neuronal activity. This feedback regulation can influence various aspects of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Moreover, endocannabinoid signaling contributes to diverse physiological processes, ranging from pain perception and memory formation to appetite regulation and stress responses. The intricate interplay between endocannabinoid synthesis, release, receptor binding, and signaling pathways underscores the complexity and importance of this modulatory system in brain function.'
