    Abstract Abstract SNAP-25 exists as two developmentally regulated alternatively spliced isoforms, SNAP-25a and SNAP-25b. We explored the function of SNAP-25a and SNAP-25b at Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses in hippocampus using 4-week-old wild-type (WT) and SNAP-25b-deficient (MT) mice. Characterizing the protein expression of individual SNAP-25 isoforms revealed that WT females had higher levels of SNAP-25a than WT males, suggesting a sex-dependent delay of the alternative splicing switch from SNAP-25a to SNAP-25b. MT mice expressed normal levels of total SNAP-25, Syntaxin 1A and SNAP-47 in the hippocampus, but females expressed lower levels of VAMP2. Electrophysiological recordings in in vitro hippocampal slices revealed significantly reduced magnitude of LTP in MT mice. We also found reduction in paired-pulse facilitation after induction of LTP in WT males, but not in WT females, possibly related to the difference in SNAP-25a/SNAP-25b ratios, suggesting that the splicing switch may play a sex-specific role in LTP-associated increases in presynaptic release probability. Basal synaptic transmission measured in input-output relations revealed that the ability to discriminate between the intensity of presynaptic stimuli was affected in SNAP-25b-deficient mice. Learning in a behavioural paradigm of active-avoidance was impaired in MT mice, strengthening the conclusion that SNAP-25b is important for cognitive performance by altering activity-dependent synaptic plasticity.

    Abstract Abstract Galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) composed of high-energy, heavy particles (HZE) poses potentially serious hazards to long-duration crewed missions in deep space beyond earth’s magnetosphere, including planned missions to Mars. Chronic effects of GCR exposure on brain structure and cognitive function are poorly understood, thereby limiting risk reduction and mitigation strategies to protect against sequelae from exposure during and after deep-space travel. Given the selective vulnerability of the hippocampus to neurotoxic insult and the importance of this brain region to learning and memory, we hypothesized that GCR-relevant HZE exposure may induce long-term alterations in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. To test this hypothesis, we irradiated 3-month-old male and female mice with a single, whole-body dose of 10, 50, or 100 cGy 56Fe ions (600 MeV, 181 keV/μm) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Our data reveal complex, dynamic, time-dependent effects of HZE exposure on the hippocampus. Two months post exposure, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and learning were impaired compared to sham-irradiated, age-matched controls. By six months post-exposure, deficits in spatial learning were absent in irradiated mice, and synaptic potentiation was enhanced. Enhanced performance in spatial learning and facilitation of synaptic plasticity in irradiated mice persisted 12 months post-exposure, concomitant with a dramatic rebound in adult-born neurons. Synaptic plasticity and spatial learning remained enhanced 20 months post-exposure, indicating a life-long influence on plasticity and cognition from a single exposure to HZE in young adulthood. These findings suggest that GCR-exposure can persistently alter brain health and cognitive function during and after long-duration travel in deep space.

    Abstract SNAP-25 is essential to activity-dependent vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release in the nervous system. During early development and adulthood, SNAP-25 appears to have differential influences on short- and long-term synaptic plasticity. The involvement of SNAP-25 in these processes may be different at hippocampal and neocortical synapses because of the presence of two different splice variants, which are developmentally regulated. We show here that the isoform SNAP-25a, which is expressed first developmentally in rodent brain, contributes to developmental regulation of the expression of both long-term depression (LTD) and long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses in the hippocampus. In one month old mice lacking the developmentally later expressed isoform SNAP-25b, Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses showed faster release kinetics, decreased LTP and enhanced LTD. By four months of age, SNAP-25b-deficient mice appeared to have compensated for the lack of the adult SNAP-25b isoform, now exhibiting larger LTP and no differences in LTD compared to wild type mice. Interestingly, learning a hippocampus-dependent task reversed the reductions in LTP, but not LTD, seen at one month of age. In four month old adult mice, learning prevented the compensatory up-regulation of LTD that we observed prior to training. These findings support the hypothesis that SNAP-25b promotes stronger LTP and weakens LTD at Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses in young mice, and suggest that compensatory mechanisms can reverse alterations in synaptic plasticity associated with a lack of SNAP-25b, once mice reach adulthood.
