H-Ras induces exuberant de novo dendritic protrusion growth in mature neurons regardless of cell type

Summary: Dendritic protrusions, mainly spines and filopodia, correlate with excitatory synapses in pyramidal neurons (PyNs), but this relationship may not apply universally. We found that ectopic H-Ras expression increased protrusions across various cortical cell types, including layer 2/3 PyNs, par...

description Summary: Dendritic protrusions, mainly spines and filopodia, correlate with excitatory synapses in pyramidal neurons (PyNs), but this relationship may not apply universally. We found that ectopic H-Ras expression increased protrusions across various cortical cell types, including layer 2/3 PyNs, parvalbumin (PV)-, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-positive interneurons (INs) in the primary motor cortex. The probability of detecting protrusions correlated with local H-Ras activity, indicating its role in protrusion formation. H-Ras overexpression led to high turnover rates by adding protrusions. Two-photon photolysis of glutamate induced de novo spine formation in mature H-Ras expressing neurons, suggesting H-Ras’s effect is not limited to early development. In PyNs and PV-INs, but not VIP-INs, spine neck lengths shifted to filopodia-like phenotypes. H-Ras primarily induced filopodia in PyNs and spines in PV- and VIP-INs. Increased protrusions in H-Ras-transfected PyNs lacked key excitatory synaptic proteins and did not affect miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs), suggesting multifaceted roles beyond excitatory synapses.
