RGD peptides disrupt LTP stabilization in hippocampal slices; leaves open integrin-matrix roles in human synaptic plasticity or disease.
Do Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides affect the induction and stabilization of long-term potentiation in slices of hippocampus?
This preclinical study suggests that stabilization of long-term potentiation requires adhesive interactions via specific matrix recognition sites, whereas induction and expression do not.
Xiao et al. (1991) studied this question.
