Dysregulation of synaptic glutamate levels can lead to excitotoxicity such as that observed in stroke, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. The role of increased intracellular calcium (Ca2+ ) in the development of excitotoxicity is well established. However, less is known regarding the impact of glutamate on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Ca2+ -mediated processes such as proteostasis. To investigate this, we expressed a secreted ER Ca2+ modulated protein (SERCaMP) in primary cortical neurons to monitor exodosis, a phenomenon whereby ER calcium depletion causes the secretion of ER-resident proteins that perform essential functions to the ER and the cell. Activation of glutamatergic receptors (GluRs) led to an increase in SERCaMP secretion indicating that normally ER-resident proteins are being secreted in a manner consistent with ER Ca2+ depletion. Antagonism of ER Ca2+ channels attenuated the effects of glutamate and GluR agonists on SERCaMP release. We also demonstrate that endogenous proteins containing an ER retention/retrieval sequence (ERS) are secreted in response to GluR activation supporting that neuronal activation by glutamate promotes ER exodosis. Ectopic expression of KDEL receptors attenuated the secretion of ERS-containing proteins caused by GluR agonists. Taken together, our data indicate that excessive GluR activation causes disruption of neuronal proteostasis by triggering the secretion of ER-resident proteins through ER Ca2+ depletion and describes a new facet of excitotoxicity.
