Synaptic dysfunction, weakening, and loss of synapses are well-correlated with the pathology of Alzheimers disease (AD). Oligomeric amyloid beta (oA{beta}) is considered a major synaptotoxic trigger for AD. Recent studies have implicated hyperactivation of the complement cascade as the driving force for loss of synapses caused by oA{beta}. However, the initial synaptic cues that trigger pathological complement activity remain elusive. Here, we examined a form of synaptic long-term depression (LTD) mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) which is disrupted in rodent models of AD. Exogenous application of oA{beta} (1-42) to mouse hippocampal slices enhanced the magnitude of mGlu subtype 5 receptor (mGlu5R)-dependent LTD. We found that the enhanced synaptic weakening occurred via both NMDARs and complement C3aR/C5aR signaling. Our findings reveal a mechanistic interaction between mGlu5R, NMDARs, and the complement cascade in synaptic weakening induced by oA{beta}, which could represent an early trigger of synaptic loss and degeneration in AD.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
