Figure Legend Snippet: BDNF prodomain in low concentration (1 nM) pre-synaptically increases ACh quantal size and simultaneously induces oppositely directed presynaptic effects affecting the evoked ACh release at newly formed NMJs of reinnervated mouse m. EDL. (A) Representative recordings of MEPPs (left above) and mean MEPP amplitude and cumulative probability plots (right above), frequency and time-course parameters (left to right below) in control ( n = 20) and upon application of BDNF prodomain ( n = 22). (B) Mean MEPP amplitude in control ( n = 16) and during inhibition of vesicular ACh transporter by vesamicol (1 μM, n = 17) (left) and mean MEPP amplitude and cumulative probability plots in control ( n = 15) and upon application of BDNF prodomain in the presence of vesamicol ( n = 16). (C) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and their quantal content (right) in control ( n = 31) and in the presence of BDNF prodomain ( n = 41). Inset shows MEPP amplitudes.

Figure Legend Snippet: BK channels do not but GIRK channels mediate BDNF prodomain-induced inhibition of evoked ACh release at mature NMJs. (A) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right) in control ( n = 15) and upon BDNF prodomain (1 nM) in the presence of BK-blocker iberiotoxin (ITx, 100 nM) with L-type Ca 2+ -channel blocker nitrendipine (Nitr., 1 μM) ( n = 21). (B) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right) in control ( n = 15) and in the presence of GIRK blocker tertiapin-Q (100 nM, n = 17).

Figure Legend Snippet: BDNF prodomain (1 nM) but not proBDNF (1 nM), induces strong inhibition of spontaneous end evoked ACh release at mature NMJs. (A) Mean MEPP amplitude, cumulative probability plots, frequency, and time-course parameters (left to right) in control ( n = 19) and upon application of proBDNF ( n = 26). (B) Representative recordings of MEPPs (top left) and mean MEPP amplitude, cumulative probability plots, frequency, (top right) and their time-course parameters (bottom) in control ( n = 23) and upon application of BDNF prodomain ( n = 33). (C) Representative recordings of EPPs during a short (1 s) high-frequency (50 Hz) train in control (above) and upon application of BDNF prodomain (below). (D) Changes in the EPP amplitude (above) and in the quantal content of EPPs (below) in control ( n = 22) and in the presence of proBDNF ( n = 21). Inset shows MEPP amplitudes.

Figure Legend Snippet: p75 receptors and Rho-signaling pathway underlie BDNF prodomain-triggered inhibition of evoked ACh release at mature NMJs. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of the BDNF prodomain (1 nM) on the evoked neuromuscular transmission depends on the endogenous activity of synaptic purinoreceptors at mature NMJs. (A) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right) in control ( n = 20) and upon BDNF prodomain (1 nM) in the presence of Rho-GDI-associated p75 signaling inhibitor TAT-Pep5 (1 μM, n = 21). (B) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right) in control ( n = 17) and in the presence of ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 (3 μM, n = 21). (C) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right) in control ( n = 15) and upon BDNF prodomain (1 nM) in the presence of Y-27632 ( n = 21). (D) Changes in the EPP amplitude (left) and in the quantal content of EPPs (right), registered from NMJs of Panx1 –/– mice in control ( n = 24) and in the presence of BDNF prodomain ( n = 22).
