The roles of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein
kinase II (CaM kinase II) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)
in long-term potentiation (LTP) were investigated in the CA1 area of
hippocampal slices, using electrophysiological and biochemical
approaches. A brief high-frequency stimulation, but not low-frequency
stimulation, delivered to Schaffer collateral/commissural afferents
produced a stable LTP and activated both CaM kinase II and 42 kDa MAPK. Different from the activity of CaM kinase II, the increase in MAPK
activity was transient. At a concentration of 50 µM, but not of 30 µM,
PD098059, a potent inhibitor of MAPK kinase, markedly inhibited the
induction of LTP. Although the two concentrations had similar
inhibitory effects on MAPK activity, only 50 µM PD098059 suppressed the activation of CaM kinase II. Application of
calmidazolium, an antagonist of calmodulin, blocked both CaM kinase II
activation and the LTP induction without affecting the increase in 42 kDa MAPK activity. Application of neurotrophin brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoted the induction of LTP, with
concomitant activation of CaM kinase II. Under the same conditions,
BDNF failed to activate MAPK in hippocampal slices. These results
indicate that, although the LTP induction is accompanied by increases
in two kinase activities, only CaM kinase II activation is required for
this event.
Key words:
LTP; CaM kinase II; MAPK; hippocampal slice; PD098059; synaptic plasticity
