Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) Scheme of the TrkB FRET sensor. Created in BioRender. Kalita, K. (2025) https://BioRender.com/qaducze . ( B ) Example FLIM images showing TrkB activation. Warmer colors represent higher TrkB activity. Yellow cross indicates uncaging spot. Scale bar, 1 μm. ( C ) Averaged TrkB activation changes (Δ binding fraction) in dendritic spines following uncaging in the presence of DMSO or Inhibitor I. Data are means ± SEM. Gray box indicates uncaging period. ( D ) Statistical analysis of (C). Averaged TrkB activation in stimulated spines during transient (1 to 3 min) and sustained phase (9 to 11 min). Gray dots, individual spines; bars, means ± SEM. DMSO (blue; n = 70 spines, 27 cells, 16 animals) and Inhibitor I (red; n = 49 spines, 21 cells, 10 animals). Repeated-measures ANOVA: Time ( P = 0.0010); Inhibitor ( P = 0.0013); Time × Inhibitor ( P = 0.7403), followed by Šídák’s multiple comparisons test ( P values indicated on the graph). ( E ) Averaged TrkB activation changes in dendritic spines following uncaging in WT or MMP-9 KO slices. All markings as in (C). ( F ) Statistical analysis of (E). All markings as in (D). WT (blue, n = 66 spines; 22 cells, 10 animals), MMP-9 KO (yellow, n = 73 spines; 25 cells, 11 animals). Repeated-measures ANOVA: Time ( P = 0.0257); MMP-9 KO ( P = 0.0054); Time × MMP-9 KO ( P = 0.7238), followed by Šidák’s multiple comparison test ( P values indicated on the graph). ( G ) Example immunoblot of digestion reaction of proBDNF incubated with either active MMP-9, inactive MMP-9 (E402A), or the reaction buffer. Bands correspond to proBDNF (~26 kDa) and mBDNF (~14 kDa). ( H ) Quantification of immunoblots of three digestion reactions. Gray dots, individual values of mBDNF band intensity in separate experiments; bars, mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA ( P = 0.0021) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test ( P values indicated on the graph).

Figure Legend Snippet: Activation of NMDAR (1) leads to the release of MMP-9 and BDNF (2), which might be released in its either pro-form or mature form with a propeptide. (3) tPA activates plasminogen to plasmin, which can also activate proMMP-9. (4) Plasmin and MMP-9 can extracellularly process proBDNF to mBDNF, which activates its receptor—TrkB (5). TrkB activation, together with other intracellular signaling, leads to the LTP cascade, including actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodeling causing spine enlargement. (6) ProBDNF and BDNF propeptide, which is also co-released with mBDNF, can activate p75 TNR , leading to LTD. (7) It is possible that MMP-9 can reduce bioactive BDNF propeptide and promote a competing TrkB activation. (8) Both plasmin and MMP-9 are blocked by their inhibitors, which control their action.
