Dendritic spines disappear with chilling but proliferate excessively upon rewarming of mature hippocampus

Abstract

More dendritic spine synapses occur on mature neurons in hippocampal slices by 2 h of incubation in vitro, than in perfusion-fixed hippocampus. What conditions initiate this spinogenesis and how rapidly do the spines begin to proliferate on mature neurons? To address these questions, CA1 field of the hippocampus neurons expressing green fluorescent protein in living slices from mature mice were imaged with two-photon microscopy. Spines disappeared and dendrites were varicose immediately after slice preparation in ice-cold artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF). Electron microscopy (EM) revealed disrupted dendritic cytoplasm, enlarged or free-floating postsynaptic densities, and excessive axonal endocytosis. Upon warming dendritic varicosities shrank and spines rapidly reappeared within a few minutes illustrating the remarkable resilience of mature hippocampal neurons in slices. When membrane impermeant sucrose was substituted for NaCl in ACSF dendrites remained spiny at ice-cold temperatures and EM revealed less disruption. Nevertheless, spine number and length increased within 30 min in warm ACSF even when the extracellular calcium concentration was zero and synaptic transmission was blocked. When slices were first recovered fo...Continue Reading
