Inhibitors of both phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and
MAPK/ERK (mitogen-activate protein kinase/extracellular signal-related
kinase) activation inhibit NMDA receptor-dependent long-term
potentiation (LTP). PI3-kinase inhibitors also block activation of ERK
by NMDA receptor stimulation, suggesting that PI3-kinase inhibitors
block LTP because PI3-kinase is an essential upstream regulator of ERK
activation. To examine this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of
PI3-kinase inhibitors on ERK activation and LTP induction in the CA1
region of mouse hippocampal slices. Consistent with the notion that ERK
activation by NMDA receptor stimulation is PI3-kinase dependent, the
PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin partially inhibited ERK2 activation
induced by bath application of NMDA and strongly suppressed ERK2
activation by high-frequency synaptic stimulation. PI3-kinase and MEK
(MAP kinase kinase) inhibitors had very different effects on LTP,
however. Both types of inhibitors suppressed LTP induced by
theta-frequency trains of synaptic stimulation, but only PI3-kinase
inhibitors suppressed the induction of LTP by high-frequency
stimulation or low-frequency stimulation paired with postsynaptic
depolarization. Concentrations of PI3-kinase inhibitors that inhibited
LTP when present during high-frequency stimulation had no effect on
potentiated synapses when applied after high-frequency stimulation,
suggesting that PI3-kinase is specifically involved in the induction of
LTP. Finally, we found that LTP induced by theta-frequency stimulation was MEK inhibitor insensitive but still PI3-kinase dependent in hippocampal slices from PSD-95 (postsynaptic density-95) mutant mice.
Together, our results indicate that the role of PI3-kinase in LTP is
not limited to its role as an upstream regulator of MAPK signaling but
also includes signaling through ERK-independent pathways that regulate
LTP induction.
