Na+/Ca2+exchangers (NCXs) are expressed primarily in the plasma membrane of most cell types, where they mediate electrogenic exchange of one Ca2+for three Na+ions, depending on Ca2+and Na+electrochemical gradients across the membrane. Three mammalian NCX isoforms (NCX1, NCX2, and NCX3) are each encoded by a distinct gene. Here, we report that NCX2 and NCX3 protein and mRNA levels are relatively reduced in hippocampal CA1 ofAPP23andAPP-KI mice. Likewise,NCX2+/−orNCX3+/−mice exhibited impaired hippocampal LTP and memory-related behaviors. Moreover, relative to controls, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) autophosphorylation significantly decreased inNCX2+/−mouse hippocampus but increased in hippocampus ofNCX3+/−mice.NCX2orNCX3heterozygotes displayed impaired maintenance of hippocampal LTP, a phenotype that inNCX2+/−mice was correlated with elevated calcineurin activity and rescued by treatment with the calcineurin (CaN) inhibitor FK506. Likewise, FK506 treatment significantly restored impaired hippocampal LTP inAPP-KI mice. Moreover, Ca2+clearance after depolarization following high frequency stimulation was slightly delayed in hippocampal CA1 regions ofNCX2+/−mice. Electron microscopy revealed relatively decreased synaptic density in CA1 ofNCX2+/−mice, while the number of spines with perforated synapses in CA1 significantly increased inNCX3+/−mice. We conclude that memory impairment seen inNCX2+/−andNCX3+/−mice reflect dysregulated hippocampal CaMKII activity, which alters dendritic spine morphology, findings with implications for memory deficits seen in Alzheimer's disease model mice.
