Neurotrophic factors modulate synaptic plasticity through mechanisms that include regulation of membrane ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. Recently, it was shown that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) induces depression of AMPA-mediated currents without affecting NMDA-receptor function in neurons. We now report that IGF-I markedly potentiates the kainate-preferring ionotropic glutamate receptor in young cerebellar granule neurons expressing functional kainate-, but not AMPA-mediated currents. Potentiation of kainate responses by IGF-I is blocked by wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, indicating a role for this kinase in the effect of IGF-I. These results reinforce the notion that modulation of ionotropic glutamate receptors are involved in the regulatory actions of IGF-I on neuronal plasticity.
