Distinct effects of AMPAR subunit depletion on spatial memory
Pharmacological studies established a role for AMPARs in the mammalian forebrain in spatial memory performance. Here we generated global GluA1/3 double knockout mice (Gria1/3(−/−)) and conditional knockouts lacking GluA1 and GluA3 AMPAR subunits specifically from principal cells across the forebrain...

description | Pharmacological studies established a role for AMPARs in the mammalian forebrain in spatial memory performance. Here we generated global GluA1/3 double knockout mice (Gria1/3(−/−)) and conditional knockouts lacking GluA1 and GluA3 AMPAR subunits specifically from principal cells across the forebrain (Gria1/3(ΔFb)). In both models, loss of GluA1 and GluA3 resulted in reduced hippocampal GluA2 and increased levels of the NMDAR subunit GluN2A. Electrically-evoked AMPAR-mediated EPSPs were greatly diminished, and there was an absence of tetanus-induced LTP. Gria1/3(−/−) mice showed premature mortality. Gria1/3(ΔFb) mice were viable, and their memory performance could be analyzed. In the Morris water maze (MWM), Gria1/3(ΔFb) mice showed profound long-term memory deficits, in marked contrast to the normal MWM learning previously seen in single Gria1(−/−) and Gria3(−/−) knockout mice. Our results suggest a redundancy of function within the pool of available ionotropic glutamate receptors for long-term spatial memory performance. |
