At the GABAergic synapses between inhibitory interneurons and a Purkinje neuron (PN) in the cerebellum, the postsynaptic depolarization induces the long-term potentiation (called rebound potentiation; RP) of GABAA receptor responsiveness. Here, we show that integrins, a type of cell-adhesion molecules, are involved in the regulation of RP. Integrin activation by Mn2+ impaired the RP induction of GABA responsiveness and mIPSCs in PNs, which was abolished by the function blocking antibody against either integrin α3 or β1 subunit, but not by that against α5 or αV subunit. Furthermore, overexpression of integrin α3 subunit in a PN by itself impaired the RP induction. We also show that Src-family of protein tyrosine kinases mediated the suppressive effect of integrin activity on the RP induction. Thus, the integrin/Src pathway negatively regulates the induction of long-term plasticity at inhibitory synapses on a cerebellar PN.
