摘要:

课题组以往研究发现小肽Tat-GluR6-9c (含有谷氨酸受体6 羧基末端的9个氨基酸的融合肽)可以进入海马神经元,在脑缺血模型中通过谷氨酸受体6•PSD-95•MLK3信号模块可抑制MLK3和JNK的激活,在海人藻酸诱导的癫痫模型中发现谷氨酸受体6•PSD-95•MLK3信号模块在海马CA1区组装。为此,实验观察了腺病毒转载的谷氨酸受体6羧基端能否抑制谷氨酸受体6•PSD-95•MLK3信号模块的组装并减少海马CA1区海人藻酸诱导神经元细胞的死亡。 将海人藻酸腹腔注射于SD大鼠诱导癫痫模型,免疫沉淀和免疫印迹的方法检测在海人藻酸注射后不同时间点海马CA1区谷氨酸受体6•PSD-95信号模块的组装,发现谷氨酸受体6过表达抑制海人藻酸注射6 h谷氨酸受体6和PSD-95的相互作用,并阻止海人藻酸诱导的大鼠海马神经元中JNK, MLK3和MKK7的激活,而免疫组织化学染色显示,注射谷氨酸受体6后能显著减少海人藻酸引起的神经元细胞死亡和凋亡,说明谷氨酸受体6的羧基端过表达可抑制海人藻酸诱导大鼠海马神经元的损伤。

Abstract:

Our previous study showed that when glutamate receptor (GluR)6 C terminus-containing peptide conjugated with the human immunodeficiency virus Tat protein (GluR6)-9c is delivered into hippocampal neurons in a brain ischemic model, the activation of mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is inhibited via GluR6-postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95). In the present study, we investigated whether the recombinant adenovirus (Ad) carrying GluR6c could suppress the assembly of the GluR6-PSD95-MLK3 signaling module and decrease neuronal cell death induced by kainate in hippocampal CA1 subregion. A seizure model in Sprague-Dawley rats was induced by intraperitoneal injections of kainate. The effect of Ad-Glur6-9c on the phosphorylation of JNK, MLK3 and mitogen-activated kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) was observed with western immunoblots and immunohistochemistry. Our findings revealed that overexpression of GluR6c inhibited the interaction of GluR6 with PSD95 and prevented the kainate-induced activation of JNK, MLK3 and MKK7. Furthermore, kainate-mediated neuronal cell death was significantly suppressed by GluR6c. Taken together, GluR6 may play a pivotal role in neuronal cell death.
