GluR2-lacking, calcium-permeable AMPARs are required for the induction of homeostatic response. (A) In neurons transfected with Syn-YFP and Kir2.1, homeostatic increase in GluR1 immunointensity (Upper) was completely blocked by coincubation with PhTx to specifically block the GluR2-lacking AMPARs (Lower). (B) Homeostatic response was blocked when PhTx was applied for only the first day or for 2 d after transfection. (Syn, 1.08 ± 0.06, n = 50; Kir2.1, 1.29 ± 0.08, n = 53; P < 0.05; Kir2.1 with PhTx-for 1 d, 1.09 ± 0.07, n = 61; P > 0.05; for 2 d 1.15 ± 0.06, n = 53; P > 0.05 compared with the Synapsin-YFP control). However, when supplemented only at the second day after transfection, PhTx failed to block the homeostatic response (1.24 ± 0.06, n = 56; P < 0.05 compared with Synapsin-YFP control), indicating a critical role of GluR2-lacking AMPARs in the early stages of homeostasis induction. (C) In neurons expressing Kir2.1 plus synapsin-YFP, 2-d incubation with PhTx did not change GluR1 intensity at normal synapses (n = 1,155). (D and E) TTX treatment (1 μM, 2 d) of cultured neurons induced global homeostatic increase in mEPSC amplitude (n = 15; P < 0.05). Coincubation of TTX (1 μM) and PhTx (5 μM) for 2 d abolished the TTX effect on mEPSC amplitude, indicating the critical role of GluR2-lacking AMPARs in homeostatic plasticity. A complete blockade of mEPSCs by CNQX confirmed AMPARs as the current mediators. (F) TTX-induced homeostatic increase in mEPSC amplitude was blocked by Naspm (n = 5).
