“…This is a phenomenon that is frequently observed when comparing acute interventions with constitutive KOs where compensatory mechanisms are often activated. These results are also in line with the proposed role of NogoA and NgR1 in regulating the stabilization of neuronal circuits and in inhibiting structural rearrangements and thereby limiting, e.g., spinal cord, or ocular dominance (OD) plasticity (9,27,30,31), or regulating the formation of long-lasting memories (15).…”

Whereas the role of NogoA in limiting axonal fiber growth and regeneration following an injury of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is well known, its physiological functions in the mature uninjured CNS are less well characterized. NogoA is mainly expressed by oligodendrocytes, but also by subpopulations of neurons, in particular in plastic regions of the CNS, e.g., in the hippocampus where it is found at synaptic sites. We analyzed synaptic transmission as well as long-term synaptic plasticity (longterm potentiation, LTP) in the presence of function blocking antiNogoA or anti-Nogo receptor (NgR) antibodies and in NogoA KO mice. Whereas baseline synaptic transmission, short-term plasticity and long-term depression were not affected by either approach, long-term potentiation was significantly increased following NogoA or NgR1 neutralization. Synaptic potentiation thus seems to be restricted by NogoA. Surprisingly, synaptic weakening was not affected by interfering with NogoA signaling. Mechanistically of interest is the observation that by blockade of the GABA A receptors normal synaptic strengthening reoccurred in the absence of NogoA signaling. The present results show a unique role of NogoA expressed in the adult hippocampus in restricting physiological synaptic plasticity on a very fast time scale. NogoA could thus serve as an important negative regulator of functional and structural plasticity in mature neuronal networks.C hanges in the connectivity of neurons-synaptic plasticityregulate the fine-tuning of neuronal networks during development and during adult learning. Synaptic plasticity includes functional and structural modifications at neurons and may be the underlying mechanism for learning and memory processes (1). The storage of new information therefore might depend on ever changing neuronal networks. On the other hand, recent data indicate that the large scale organization of neuronal networks is kept remarkably stable to maintain a constant flow of information and to support long-term memory storage (reviewed in ref. 2).In the CA1 region of the hippocampus, changes in neuronal activity can lead to changes in synaptic weight. Molecular mechanisms include here changes in the number or properties of neurotransmitter receptors, retrograde messengers, structural changes at synapses, and activation of transcription/translation (3). What is less clear is whether molecular mechanisms restricting changes in synaptic weight and thus stabilizing the synapse also play a role as well. In this context it is interesting to note that preventing further potentiation of a given set of synapses in a neuronal network can be induced by a homeostatic shutdown of long-term potentiation (LTP) after intense stimulation (4). In the search for such molecular stabilizers, we investigated the protein NogoA, which has been identified as a negative regulator of structural changes in the CNS (5). NogoA prevents neurite outgrowth in the adult CNS after injury (6) and regulates the progressive restriction of plasticity dur...

“…Given that LGI1 is critically important for glutamatergic synapse maturation and dendritic pruning (Zhou et al, 2009), determining whether LGI1, NgR1 and ADAM22 function collaboratively to drive synapse maturation and dendritic sculpting is a key priority for future studies. Mice lacking PirB (Atwal et al, 2008), a recently identified receptor for Nogo, MAG, and OMgp, also display supranormal experience-driven plasticity, and it is conceivable that PirB may function in similar pathways.…”

Mutations in leucine-rich glioma inactivated (LGI1) are a genetic cause of autosomal dominant temporal lobe epilepsy with auditory features.LGI1 is a secreted protein that shares homology with members of the SLIT family, ligands that direct axonal repulsion and growth cone collapse, and we therefore considered the possibility that LGI1 may regulate neuronal process extension or growth cone collapse. Here we report that LGI1 does not affect growth directly but instead enhances neuronal growth on myelin-based inhibitory substrates and antagonizes myelin-induced growth cone collapse. We show that LGI1 mediates this effect by functioning as a specific Nogo receptor 1 (NgR1) ligand that antagonizes the action of myelin-based inhibitory cues. Finally, we demonstrate that NgR1 and ADAM22 physically associate to form a receptor complex in which NgR1 facilitates LGI1 binding to ADAM22.

“…Additional studies questioned the importance of NgR1 in chronic growth inhibition mediated by myelin ligands [24] and confirmed only partially the regeneration promoting action of NEP1-40 [25]. All three NgR1 ligands bind to a second receptor, PirB, which is also implicated in neuronal regeneration [26]. These results further add to the complexity of neurite outgrowth inhibition in the CNS.…”
