  • Molecular mechanism of inhibitory synapse formation, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Gunma University, 01 Apr. 2022, 31 Mar. 2025, 22K06805
  • Ultrastructural analysis of synapse stability, Iwasaki Hirohide, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Gunma University, 01 Apr. 2018, 31 Mar. 2021, This project focused on the molecular mechanism of synaptic stabilization. First, dendritic spines of cortical pyramidal neurons were imaged in vivo using two-photon microscopy over time to identify stably maintained spines and newly emerging spines. The same dendrites were then examined by electron microscopy to obtain ultrastructural images of dendritic spines by three-dimensional reconstruction. The results showed that the neck length of the stable spines was almost the same as that of the newly emerged spines, but the spine head of the stable spines was larger and the morphology more complex. In addition, to elucidate the molecular mechanism of synaptic stabilization, we clarified the role of teneurin, a membrane protein involved in synaptic induction., 18K06499
  • Structural Analysis of glial cells by using high resolution imaging method, Iwasaki Hirohide; OKABE Shigeo, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), The University of Tokyo, 01 Apr. 2015, 31 Mar. 2018, In the central nervous system of the mammalian brain, three types of glial cells have been identified; astrocyte, microglia and oligodendrocyte. Among them, oligodendrocyte forms myelin around axons. Other types of glial cells might contribute to the synaptic functions of the brain by affecting the synapse formation/elimination. In this research, I analyzed the precise structure of astrocyte and microglia by using CLEM (Correlative anaylysis of light- and electron- microscopy) method. Particularly, I succeeded the comprehensive three-dimensional reconstruct of the fine protrusions of single microglia., 15K06734
  • Dynamics of neural circuit and its impariment studied by optical imaging, Okabe Shigeo; IWASAKI Hirohide, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), The University of Tokyo, 01 Apr. 2014, 31 Mar. 2017, This study aimed at understanding biological mechanism of synaptic dynamics by cutting-edge imaging technologies. To achieve this goal, we analyzed morphology and function of excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the neocortex, maturation steps of individual synapses imaged in vivo by two-photon microscopy, and defects in synaptic functions and dynamics in mouse models of psychiatric disorders. From these experiments, we conclude that synaptic dynamics in the developing neural circuits show circuit-specific regulation mechanisms. Furthermore, we showed that early impairments in synaptic dynamics cause dysfunction of neural circuits in later stages of development., 26250014
  • Structural analysis of excitatory synapse by using high-resolution imaging method, IWASAKI Hirohide; OKABE Shigeo, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), The University of Tokyo, 01 Apr. 2012, 31 Mar. 2015, Neurons are connected via synapses to form neural circuits. In order to understand how neurons are involved in various brain functions at neural circuit level, it will be useful to analyze the wiring diagram of the brain at synapse level with high-resolution imaging technique which can cover large area. From this point of view, I established the hybrid method of light and electron microscopy, Array Tomography, for the three-dimensional reconstruction of neural tissue and synapse localization. I also established the method to observe synapses by using scanning electron microscopy. By using these technologies, I analyzed the morphology of excitatory synapses at developmental stage of mice., 24500405

  • Molecular Anatomy of Synaptic Structure, OKABE Shigeo; TANAKA Shinji; IWASAKI Hirohide; KONDO Satoru; NISHII Kiyomasa, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S), The University of Tokyo, 11 May 2009, 31 Mar. 2014, PALM and STORM are superresolution imaging techniques based on detection of single fluorescent molecules. Although postsynaptic densities (PSDs) are disc-like microstructures with their diameters of less than 500 nm, PALM and STORM are able to resolve their internal structure. In this study, fluorescently labeled PSDs and spines were visualized by using PALM and the molecular distributions within these structures were detected. Furthermore, we could successfully detected distributional changes of PSD molecules during development of synapses and after induction of synaptic plasticity., 21220008

  • Mechanisms and physiological roles of voltage-sensing phosphatase, OKAMURA Yasushi; HIGASHIJIMA Shinichi; OKOCHI Yoshifumi; IWASAKI Hirohide, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas, 2006, 2010, Voltage sensing phosphatase gene is conserved in genomes from sea squirt to human. VSP consists of the voltage sensing domain and the cytoplasmic enzyme region that operates as the phosphoinositide phosphatase. Mechanisms of VSP have been examined by integrative approaches including electrophysiology, in vitro phosphatase assay, mathematical modeling analysis and imaging analysis. Results showed that voltage sensor activates PI(4,5)P2 and PIP3 phosphatase activity upon depolarization and this coupling occurs over the entire range of voltage sensitivity of the voltage sensor. We also found that the state of enzyme affects the motions of the voltage sensor suggesting the presence of retrograde interaction from enzyme to the voltage sensor., 18077013

  • Mechanism of expression of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, OKAMURA Yasushi; KUKITA Fumio; IWASAKI Hirohide; EBIHARA Tatsuhiko; HAYASAKA Kiyoshi, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), National Institute of Natural Sciences Okazaki Research Facilities, 2004, 2005, Ankyrin-G, a modular protein, plays a critical role in clustering voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav channels) in nodes of Ranvier and initial segments of mammalian neurons. However, direct effects of ankyrin-G on electrophysiological properties of Nav channels remai elusive. In this study, we explored whether ankyrin-G has a role in modifying gating properties of the neuronal Nav1.6 channel that is predominantly localized at nodes of Ranvier and initial segments. TsA201 cells transfected with the human Nav1.6 cDNA alone exhibited significant persistent sodium current (Ina-p). On the other hand, Ina-p was barely detected upon co-expression with ankyrin-G. Ankyrin-B, another ankyrin, did not show such an effect. Expression of chimeras between the two isofrms of ankyrin suggests that the membrane-binding domain of ankyurin-G is critical for reducing the Ina-p of Nav1.6. These results suggest that ankyrin-G regulates neuronal excitability not only through clustering Nav channels but also by directly modifying their channel gating. Changes is membraine potential affect ion channels, and transporters, which then alter intracellular chemical conditions. Ohter signaling pathways coupled to membrane potential have been suggested but their underlying mechanism are unknown. We have identified a novel protein from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis which has a transmembrane voltage sensing domain homologous to the S1-S4 segments of voltage-gated channels and a cytoplasmic domain similar to phosphatase and tension homologue (PTEN). This protein, named Ci-VSP (voltage-sensor containing phosphatase), displays channel-like "gating" currents and directly translates changes in membrane potential into the turnover of phosphoinositides. The activity of the phosphoinositide phosphatase in Ci-VSP is tuned within a physiological range of membrane potential. Immunocytochemical studies show that Ci-VSP is expressed in Ciona sperm tail membranes, suggesting a role in sperm function or morphology. Our data demonstrate that voltage sensing can function beyond channel proteins and thus more ubiquitously than previously appreciated., 16390056

  • Molecular mechanisms underlying inhibition of full-length protein expression by interaction, with truncated protein of Cav channel, OKAMURA Yasushi; IWASAKI Hirohide, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Okazaki National Research Institute, 2002, 2003, Truncated calcium channel subunits have been reported in developing tissue or in human channelopaties. However, functional significance of such truncated versions of proteins remain unknown. We studied molecular mechanisms underlying inhibition of expression of full length proteins by truncated proteins in Xenopus oocyte and BHK-G cells. Two electrode voltage clamp and whole cell patch clamp methods were applied on those cells. When truncated mammalian Cav1.2 subunit was coexpressed with the full length cDNA, remarkable suppression of channel expression was observed. This effect occurred at protein level, since introduction of premature stop codon eliminated this suppression. By Western blot analysis, it was shown that truncated protein is transferred into insoluble membrane fraction. Interestingly, the full length protein was also transferred to this fraction on coexpression with the truncated protein, indicating that misfolding of the truncated protein integrates the full length protein via unknown interactions and degradation or suppression of protein synthesis occurs. We also found that some truncated forms of voltage gated sodium channels show dominant-negative effects, suggesting that inhibitory mechanisms of truncated proteins are conserved among 4-motif type voltage gated channels., 14370017
