Impaired hippocampal synaptic plasticity contributes to cognitive impairment in
Huntington’s disease (HD). However, the molecular basis of such synaptic
plasticity defects is not fully understood. Combining live-cell nanoparticle
tracking and super-resolution imaging, we show that AMPAR surface diffusion, a
key player in synaptic plasticity, is disturbed in various rodent models of HD.
We demonstrate that defects in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF)-tyrosine receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling pathway contribute to the
deregulated AMPAR trafficking by reducing the interaction between transmembrane
AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) and the PDZ-domain scaffold protein
PSD95. The disturbed AMPAR surface diffusion is rescued by the antidepressant
drug tianeptine via the BDNF signaling pathway. Tianeptine also restores the
impaired LTP and hippocampus-dependent memory in different HD mouse models. These
findings unravel a mechanism underlying hippocampal synaptic and memory
dysfunction in HD, and highlight AMPAR surface diffusion as a promising
therapeutic target.
