Developmental changes in the signaling properties of NMDA receptors
have been proposed to underlie the loss of plasticity that accompanies
brain maturation. Calcium influx through postsynaptic NMDA receptors
can stimulate neuronal gene expression via signaling pathways such as
the Ras-MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway and the transcription factor cAMP
response element-binding protein (CREB). We analyzed MAPK (Erk1/2) and
CREB activation in response to NMDA receptor stimulation during the
development of hippocampal neurons in culture. At all stages of
development NMDA stimulation induced a rapid phosphorylation of CREB on
Ser-133 (phospho-CREB). However, the time course of decline in
phospho-CREB changed dramatically with neuronal maturation. At 7 d
in vitro (7 DIV) phospho-CREB remained elevated 2 hr
after strong NMDA stimulation, whereas at 14 DIV phospho-CREB rose only
transiently and fell back to below basal levels within 30 min.
Moreover, at 14 DIV, but not at 7 DIV, NMDA receptor stimulation
induced a dephosphorylation of CREB that previously had been
phosphorylated by KCl depolarization or forskolin, suggesting an NMDA
receptor-dependent activation of a CREB phosphatase. There was no
developmental change in the time course of phospho-CREB induction that
followed KCl depolarization or PKA activation, nor was there a
developmental change in the time course of phospho-Erk1/2 induced by
NMDA receptor activation. We suggest that, during neuronal maturation,
NMDA receptor activation becomes linked specifically to protein
phosphatases that act on Ser-133 of CREB. Such a developmentally regulated switch in the mode of NMDA receptor coupling to intracellular signaling pathways may contribute to the changes in neural plasticity observed during brain development.
