dc.description.abstractPyramidal cells in hippocampal area CA2 have synaptic properties that are distinct from the other CA subregions. Notably, this includes a lack of typical long-term potentiation of stratum radiatum synapses. CA2 neurons express high levels of several known and potential regulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent signaling including Striatal-Enriched Tyrosine Phosphatase (STEP) and several Regulator of G-protein Signaling (RGS) proteins, yet the functions of these proteins in regulating mGluR-dependent synaptic plasticity in CA2 are completely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine mGluR-dependent synaptic depression and to determine whether STEP and the RGS proteins RGS4 and RGS14 are involved. Using whole cell voltage-clamp recordings from mouse pyramidal cells, we found that mGluR agonist-induced long-term depression (mGluR-LTD) is more pronounced in CA2 compared with that observed in CA1. This mGluR-LTD in CA2 was found to be protein synthesis and STEP dependent, suggesting that CA2 mGluR-LTD shares mechanistic processes with those seen in CA1, but in addition, RGS14, but not RGS4, was essential for mGluR-LTD in CA2. In addition, we found that exogenous application of STEP could rescue mGluR-LTD in RGS14 KO slices. Supporting a role for CA2 synaptic plasticity in social cognition, we found that RGS14 KO mice had impaired social recognition memory as assessed in a social discrimination task. These results highlight possible roles for mGluRs, RGS14, and STEP in CA2-dependent behaviors, perhaps by biasing the dominant form of synaptic plasticity away from LTP and toward LTD in CA2.en
