Akt is classically described as a prosurvival
serine/threonine kinase activated in response to trophic factors. After
activation by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), it can
translocate to the nucleus where it promotes specific genetic programs
by catalyzing phosphorylation of transcription factors. We report here
that both dopamine (DA) D1 (SKF38393) and D2 (quinpirole) agonist
treatments rapidly increase, in primary striatal neurons in culture,
phosphorylation levels of Akt on Thr308, a residue
that is critically involved in its kinase activity. These treatments
also activate the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway
in the same population of striatal neurons. Induction of active,
phospho-Thr308 Akt by dopamine D1 and D2 agonists is
insensitive to wortmannin and thus PI3-kinase independent, in contrast
to growth factor-induced Akt activity. D1- and D2-induced
phospho-Thr308 Akt is decreased by the
mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor, U0126, as well
as by overexpression of a dominant-negative version of MEK, thus
implicating the Ras/ERK signaling cascade in this process. Furthermore,
overexpression of a mutant form of Akt that cannot be activated
impaired cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation
induced by SKF38393 and quinpirole treatments. Activation of Akt on
Thr308 was also found in vivo in
striatal neurons after acute administration of cocaine, a
psychostimulant that strongly increases DA transmission. Thus, multiple
intracellular pathways can transduce signals from dopamine receptors to
CREB in striatal neurons, one of these being Akt. We propose that this
signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in DA-induced regulation of gene
expression and long-term neuronal adaptation in the striatum.
