adult forebrain neurons.

Abstract
Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a are important DNA methyltransferases that are expressed in
postmitotic neurons, but their function in the CNS is unclear. We generated
conditional mutant mice that lack Dnmt1, Dnmt3a or both exclusively in
forebrain excitatory neurons and found that only double knockout (DKO) mice
showed abnormal long-term plasticity in the hippocampal CA1 region together
with deficits in learning and memory. Although we found no neuronal loss,
hippocampal neurons in DKO mice were smaller than in the wild type;
furthermore, DKO neurons showed deregulated expression of genes, including
the class I MHC genes and Stat1, that are known to contribute to synaptic
plasticity. In addition, we observed a significant decrease in DNA
methylation in DKO neurons. We conclude that Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a are required
for synaptic plasticity, learning and memory through their overlapping roles
in maintaining DNA methylation and modulating neuronal gene expression in
adult CNS neurons.
