Activity-dependent changes in neuronal structure and synaptic
remodeling depend critically on gene regulation. In an attempt to
understand how glutamate receptor stimulation at the membrane leads to
gene regulation in the nucleus, we traced intracellular signaling
pathways targeting DNA regulatory elements of immediate early genes
(IEGs). For this purpose we used an in vivo electrical stimulation of the glutamatergic corticostriatal pathway. We show that
a transient activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)
proteins (detected by immunocytochemistry with an anti-active antibody)
is spatially coincident with the onset of IEG induction
[c-fos, zif 268, and map kinase
phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) detected by in situ
hybridization] in the striatum, bilaterally. Both Elk-1 and CREB
transcription factors (targeting SRE and CRE DNA regulatory elements,
respectively) were hyperphosphorylated in register with ERK activation
and IEG mRNA induction. However, their hyperphosphorylation occurred in
different subcellular compartments: the cytoplasm and the nucleus for
Elk-1 and the nucleus for CREB. The role of the ERK signaling cascade
in gene regulation was confirmed after intrastriatal and unilateral
injection of the specific ERK inhibitor PD 98059, which completely
abolished c-fos, zif 268, and MKP-1 mRNA
induction in the injected side. Of interest, both Elk-1 and CREB
hyperphosphorylation also was impaired after PD 98059 injection.
Thus two different ERK modules, one depending on the cytoplasmic
activation of Elk-1 and the other one depending on the nuclear
activation of CREB, control IEG transcriptional regulation in our
model. Our findings provide significant insights into intracellular
mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity in the striatum.
