The present study utilized imaging, electrophysiology, and three-dimensional high-resolution electron microscopy analyses to address the neural circuit role of LRRTM3 in vivo, using both conventional and conditional Lrrtm3-KO mice. We found that LRRTM3 is required for the specific assembly and function of the medial perforant path to dentate gyrus synapses. Moreover, LRRTM3 is required for proper excitatory synaptic connectivity and long-term synaptic plasticity at mossy fiber–CA3 synapses. Strikingly, presynaptic inactivation of medial perforant path–dentate gyrus (MPP–DG) circuit activities completely rescued the impaired excitatory synaptic inputs and long-term synaptic plasticity of Lrrtm3-KO mice, demonstrating that LRRTM3 is involved in activity-dependent hippocampal excitatory synapse refinement/stabilization, which is dictated and synchronized by glutamatergic neurotransmission. Synaptic cell-adhesion molecules (CAMs) organize the architecture and properties of neural circuits. However, whether synaptic CAMs are involved in activity-dependent remodeling of specific neural circuits is incompletely understood. Leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein 3 (LRRTM3) is required for the excitatory synapse development of hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) granule neurons. Here, we report that Lrrtm3-deficient mice exhibit selective reductions in excitatory synapse density and synaptic strength in projections involving the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and DG granule neurons, accompanied by increased neurotransmitter release and decreased excitability of granule neurons. LRRTM3 deletion significantly reduced excitatory synaptic innervation of hippocampal mossy fibers (Mf) of DG granule neurons onto thorny excrescences in hippocampal CA3 neurons. Moreover, LRRTM3 loss in DG neurons significantly decreased mossy fiber long-term potentiation (Mf-LTP). Remarkably, silencing MEC–DG circuits protected against the decrease in the excitatory synaptic inputs onto DG and CA3 neurons, excitability of DG granule neurons, and Mf-LTP in Lrrtm3-deficient mice. These results suggest that LRRTM3 may be a critical factor in activity-dependent synchronization of the topography of MEC–DG–CA3 excitatory synaptic connections. Collectively, our data propose that LRRTM3 shapes the target-specific structural and functional properties of specific hippocampal circuits.
