Center, High-resolution Airyscan confocal maximum projection used for 3D reconstruction of individual boutons in CA1 stratum pyramidale. Right, 3D reconstruction of Airyscan confocal image shown in center panel. (B) Top, representative extracellular field inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (fIPSPs) recorded in the CA1 pyramidal cell body layer in acute hippocampal slices before and after WIN treatment (5 µM, 25 min). Bottom, summary time-course plot showing WIN-induced depression; n = 3 slices, three animals. For all electrophysiology figures, representative traces correspond to the gray-shaded areas and in the summary time-course plots (averaged summary data expressed as normalized change from baseline ± S.E.M.). Shaded boxes in all electrophysiology figures correspond to when plasticity was analyzed with respect to baseline and when representative traces were collected and averaged. (C) Quantification of mean bouton volume per slice normalized to Control. Activation of CB1 receptors with 5 µM WIN for 25 min led to decreased bouton volume that remained 1 hr after WIN treatment and was blocked by treatment with cycloheximide (CHX, 80 µM, applied throughout the experiment). Control: 1.0 ± 0.02 vs. WIN: 0.92 ± 0.02 vs. WIN + 1 hr: 0.89 ± 0.02 vs. CHX + WIN: 0.97 ± 0.02 (Mean ± S.E.M.); F[3,22]=8.682; p=0.0005, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test for multiple comparisons. Control vs. WIN: CI[0.005,0.14], p=0.03. Control vs. WIN 1 hr: CI[0.05,0.18], p=0.0005. WIN 1 hr vs. WIN + CHX: CI[−0.11,0.03], p=0.012. n = number of slices (three images/slice, 1–2 slices/rat, six rats/condition). For all structural plasticity figures, data are presented as points representing mean bouton volume per slice with a horizontal black line representing the mean per condition and the vertical line indicating 95% confidence interval (CI). 95% CIs are given as CI[lower CI, upper CI]. p-Values are exact. Refer to Figure 1—figure supplement 1A for distribution of individual bouton values. (D) Representative 3D reconstruction widefield images of Bassoon labeling inside CB1+ boutons. (E) Representative single CB1 boutons with Bassoon reconstructed in 3D. (F) Quantification of mean Bassoon volume per slice normalized to Control after 25 min WIN treatment revealed a reduction in active zone volume as measured using Bassoon immunolabeling that was blocked by treatment with cycloheximide (CHX, 80 µM, applied throughout the experiment).

CB1activation alters the abundance of proteins linked to protein synthesis, synaptic structure/function and energy metabolism.

(A) Examples of proteins that were identified in enriched GO terms and were significantly altered by CB1 activation (p<0.05). Proteins are grouped by proposed biological function and average log2 fold change is plotted. (B) List of enriched GO terms and normalized enrichment scores (NES) as identified by GSEA. Positive NES reflects overall upregulation of proteins associated with the GO term whereas negative values indicate the opposite. (C) Cluster analysis of enriched/depleted GO terms from GSEA revealed four distinct biological processes that were consistently up- or downregulated by CB1 activation. Each node represents a single GO term. Node size represents magnitude of enrichment and edge length gives degree of overlap between 2 GO terms. Color represents up (red) or downregulation (blue) of proteins associated with that GO term. See Figure 2—figure supplement 2 for examples. (D) Volcano plot of differentially expressed proteins between vehicle and CB1 activation. Red dots: differentially expressed proteins showing upregulation (adj. p<0.05 and log2 fold change >0). Blue dots: differentially expressed proteins showing downregulation (adj. p<0.05 and log2 fold change <0). six select top hits are highlighted: ECHA: trifunctional enzyme subunit alpha (mitochondrial); SNX3: Sorting nexin-3; RPN2: Subunit of the oligosaccharyl transferase; SV2A: Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A; ANXA1: Annexin A1; SYPH: Synaptophysin.

(B) Schematic of workflow to identify proteins. Cultures were lysed and combined to give ‘forward’ and ‘reverse’ replicates. Mass spectrometry was performed for identification and quantification of proteins altered by WIN treatment. (C) Scatterplot of all proteins identified in forward and reverse experiments by log2 fold change. Forward and reverse experiments are significantly correlated indicating good reproducibility (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.696, p<0.05). Top regulated proteins are identified. HMGB1 = high mobility group box 1, PTN = pleiotropin, ANXA1 = annexin A1, RPL35 = ribosomal protein 35, SNAP91 = synaptosome associated protein 91. WASF1/WAVE1 = Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome Family 1,SYPH = synaptophysin, RPS36 = ribosomal protein 36. (D) Top 22 selected pathways identified by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) ranked by -log10(p-value). Blue dashed line indicates p-value=0.001, all pathways have p<0.001. (E) SynGO term analysis identified significant upregulation of local synaptic translation pathways and downregulation of GO terms involved in presynaptic function, as indicated by log q-value. Size of circle represents number of genes identified per SynGO term.

CB1-iLTD involves actin remodeling via Rac1 and Arp2/3.

(A) Left, representative single boutons reconstructed in 3D. Right, quantification of mean bouton volume per slice normalized to control. Activation of CB1 receptors with WIN for 25 min led to decreased bouton volume that was blocked by treatment with jasplakinolide (JSK, 250 nM). Summary data expressed as normalized change from Control. WIN + 1 hr: 0.89 ± 0.02 vs. WIN + JSK: 0.97 ± 0.02 vs. JSK: 0.95 ± 0.02 (Mean ± S.E.M.); F[2,16]=5.56, p=0.015, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test for multiple comparisons. WIN vs. WIN + JSK: CI[−0.16,–0.018], p=0.014. n = number of slices (three images/slice, 1–2 slices/rat, six rats/condition). For all structural plasticity figures, data are presented as points representing mean bouton volume per slice with a horizontal black line representing the mean per condition and the vertical line indicating 95% confidence interval (CI). 95% CIs are given as CI[lower CI, upper CI]. p-Values are exact. Refer to Figure 3—figure supplement 1A for distribution of individual bouton values. (B) CB1-iLTD is impaired by bath application of actin-stabilizing drug, jasplakinolide (JSK, 250 nM). Extracellular field inhibitory postsynaptic potential (fIPSP) were recorded in the CA1 pyramidal cell body layer in acute hippocampal slices. Control: 61.4 ± 4% vs. JSK: 80.5 ± 4%; p<0.05, unpaired t-test. Unless otherwise specified, n = number of slices (s), number of animals (a). (C) CB1-iLTD was blocked by acute bath application of the Rac1 inhibitor NSC (30 µM). Control: 68.8 ± 6% vs. NSC23766: 89.7 ± 4%; p<0.05, unpaired t-test. (D) NSC (30 µM) bath application reversibly depressed basal transmission. NSC: 98 ± 2%, one sample t-test, p>0.05. (E) CB1-iLTD is enhanced by acute bath application of the Arp2/3 inhibitor CK-666 (100 µM). Control: 63.8 ± 4% vs. CK-666: 45.2 ± 4%, p>0.05, unpaired t-test. (F) Left, representative Western blots of staining for Arpc2 and Ponceau loading control in vehicle or WIN-treated hippocampal cultures. Right, Arpc2 was downregulated in hippocampal neuron cultures after CB1 activation with WIN (5 µM, 25 min). Arpc2 (Fold of Veh): 0.851 ± 0.06, U = 16, Z = 2.31, * indicates p<0.05, Mann-Whitney. Dots represent individual values for four independent experiments. Data in the bar plot represent mean ± S.E.M. (G) Proposed model of CB1-iLTD pathway and mechanism of action of pharmacological reagents. CB1 activation triggers protein synthesis (not shown) and leads to inhibition of Rac1 which causes disassembly of the Arp2/3-WASF1 complex. Arp2/3 is degraded leading to actin remodeling. Actin dynamics are required for CB1-iLTD. NSC inhibits Rac1-GEF interaction. CK-666 stabilizes the inactive conformation of Arp2/3, preventing it from binding actin filaments. JSK stabilizes actin filaments and promotes polymerization.

Refer to Figure 5—figure supplement 1E for distribution of individual bouton values. (E) Schematic summary of proposed mechanism of CB1–iLTD 1. CB1 activation rapidly engages presynaptic protein synthesis (Younts et al., 2016). 2. CB1–iLTD increases components of the ubiquitin/proteasome system and leads to enhanced proteasomal activity (Figure 4A,B and (A)) 3. Ubiquitination is required for concomitant decrease in the volume of the bouton (D) and reduction in neurotransmitter release (C). 4. CB1–iLTD involves signaling via Rac1 and Arp2/3 and actin dynamics.
