Quantitative Analysis of Synaptic Vesicle Pool Replenishment in Cultured Cerebellar Granule Neurons using FM Dyes

Abstract: After neurotransmitter release in central nerve terminals, SVs are rapidly retrieved by endocytosis. Retrieved SVs are then refilled with neurotransmitter and rejoin the recycling pool, defined as SVs that are available for exocytosis 1,2 . The recycling pool can generally be subdivided into two distinct pools -the readily releasable pool (RRP) and the reserve pool (RP). As their names imply, the RRP consists of SVs that are immediately available for fusion while RP SVs are released only during intense stimula… Show more

“…In this study, Ara-C was used to minimize the growth of glial cells, although there was still about a 1 -5% presence of glial cells in the CGN culture. This problem is also presented in other groups' studies 10 . In CGN culture, the sizes and shapes of glial cells are largely different from neurons.…”

“…The fluorescent probe FM®1-43 has been extensively used as a direct index of presynaptic function to study vesicle turnover for live-cell imaging [91], [92], allowing the study of the processes of exocytosis in addition to endocytosis. Glucocorticoids have been reported to impair neurotransmitter release, synaptic plasticity and cognition [52], [93], [94].…”

“…Upon arrival of an action potential at the nerve terminal, the pre-synaptic plasma membrane depolarizes and voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels open; the initial rapid rise in intracellular Ca 2+ triggers exocytosis of readily releasable synaptic vesicles at the active zone of the pre-synaptic membrane and release of their neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft (Südhof, 1995 ; Rosenmund and Stevens, 1996 ). The reserve pool of synaptic vesicles becomes available for neurotransmitter release upon strong stimulation (Rizzoli and Betz, 2005 ); This pool may be mobilized to replenish the pool of readily releasable vesicles (Prekeris and Terrian, 1997 ; Cheung and Cousin, 2011 ). The synaptic vesicles movement have been observed in different synaptic preparations (Llinás et al, 1989 ; Koenig et al, 1993 ; Ryan and Smith, 1995 ; Henkel et al, 1996 ).…”
