The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase PYK2 represents a stress-sensitive
mediator of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in many cell types. In the
present study, we assessed the tyrosine phosphorylation of PYK2 under
normal and pathological conditions in the CNS. We generated a
polyclonal antibody that selectively recognizes tyrosine-phosphorylated PYK2 at its major autophosphorylation site. By using this antibody, we
demonstrate that the phosphorylation profile of PYK2 after focal
cerebral ischemia is biphasic. The first phase occurs within 1 hr, when
most of the phospho-PYK2 immunoreactivity was observed in cortical
neurons, whereas 24-72 hr after ischemia, a striking induction of
phospho-PYK2 immunoreactivity was evident in microglia around the
necrotic infarcted area. Double-immunostaining analysis using both
anti-phospho-PYK2 antibody and antibody against the double-phosphorylated active form of p38MAPK revealed that the two
phosphorylated protein kinases exhibit strikingly similar distribution
patterns after ischemia. A short time after ischemia, phosphorylation
of p38MAPK was evident in the cortical neurons as demonstrated by both
immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting analysis, whereas 24-72 hr
after ischemia, phospho-p38MAPK was found in activated microglia and
colocalized with phospho-PYK2. In contrast to cortical neurons, basal
phospho-PYK2 immunoreactivity was observed in hippocampal pyramidal
neurons, which was markedly decreased after kainate acid-induced status
epilepticus. However, 24 hr after the epileptic onset, a pronounced
upregulation of PYK2 and phospho-PYK2 immunoreactivities was evident in
microglial cells, as demonstrated by double-immunostaining with the
microglial marker OX42. These results provide, for the first
time, in situ localization of tyrosine-phosphorylated
PYK2 in neuronal stress pathways in the adult rat brain and are
consistent with the role of PYK2 as an upstream regulator of p38MAPK
signaling cascades in response to stress signals.
