The regional selectivity and mechanisms underlying the toxicity of
the serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid (OA)
were investigated in hippocampal slice cultures. Image analysis of
propidium iodide-labeled cultures revealed that okadaic acid caused a
dose- and time-dependent injury to hippocampal neurons. Pyramidal cells
in the CA3 region and granule cells in the dentate gyrus were much more
sensitive to okadaic acid than the pyramidal cells in the CA1 region.
Electron microscopy revealed ultrastructural changes in the pyramidal
cells that were not consistent with an apoptotic process. Treatment
with okadaic acid led to a rapid and sustained tyrosine phosphorylation
of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2
(p44/42mapk). The phosphorylation was markedly
reduced after treatment of the cultures with the microbial alkaloid
K-252a (a nonselective protein kinase inhibitor) or the MAP kinase
kinase (MEK1/2) inhibitor PD98059. K-252a and PD98059 also ameliorated
the okadaic acid-induced cell death. Inhibitors of protein kinase C,
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, or
tyrosine kinase were ineffective. These results indicate that sustained
activation of the MAP kinase pathway, as seen after e.g., ischemia, may
selectively harm specific subsets of neurons. The susceptibility to MAP
kinase activation of the CA3 pyramidal cells and dentate granule cells may provide insight into the observed relationship between cerebral ischemia and dementia in Alzheimer's disease.
