Calcineurin-Mediated BAD Dephosphorylation Activates the Caspase-3 Apoptotic Cascade in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

We report here that activation of the caspase-3 apoptotic cascade in spinal cord injury is regulated, in part, by calcineurin-mediated BAD dephosphorylation. BAD, a proapoptotic member of the bcl-2 gene family, is rapidly dephosphorylated after injury, dissociates from 14-3-3 in the cytosol, and translocates to the mitochondria of neurons where it binds to Bcl-xL. Pretreatment of animals with FK506, a potent inhibitor of calcineurin activity, or MK801, an NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist, blocked BAD dephosphorylation and abolished activation of the caspase-3 apoptotic cascade. These findings extend previous in vitro observations and are the first to implicate the involvement of glutamate-mediated calcineurin activation and BAD dephosphorylation as upstream, premitochondrial signaling events leading to caspase-3 activation in traumatic spinal cord injury.

Key words: calcineurin; caspase-3; FK506; glutamate receptors; NMDA; Bcl-xL; BAD translocation
