First, the hippocampus-dependent learning ability\u003cbr /\u003eof Ptprz\u003csup\u003e-/-\u003c/sup\u003e mice is analyzed by fear conditioning, which requires the association of an\u003cbr /\u003eenvironment with an aversive electric stimulus. Second, to elucidate the molecular\u003cbr /\u003emechanism by which Ptprz controls p190 RhoGAP activity, the site of dephosphorylation\u003cbr /\u003e of p190 RhoGAP by Ptprz is identified, and the effect of phosphorylation at this site on\u003cbr /\u003ep190 RhoGAP activity is examined by a Rho activity assay.

Both are sensitive to amygdala lesions, but\u003cbr /\u003eonly contextual fear conditioning is sensitive to hippocampal lesions. \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e-/-mice\u003cbr /\u003edemonstrated marked impairements selectively in contextual fear conditioning.\u003cbr /\u003e To further define the specificity of behavioral deficits, \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e-/- mice were subjected to\u003cbr /\u003ethe elevated plus maze test in which fear or anxiety-related behaviors are analyzed. The\u003cbr /\u003emaze had two enclosed arms with high walls and two open arms with low rims and was\u003cbr /\u003eelevated above the foor. As mice usually avoid the open arms of maze, the extent of\u003cbr /\u003eanxiety can be evaluated by the time spent in the open arms relative to the closed arms.\u003cbr /\u003e In addition, the numbers of entries into the arms of the maze likely corresponds to\u003cbr /\u003egeneral motor activity or exploratory activity. There were no significant differences\u003cbr /\u003ebetween the genotypes.\u003cbr /\u003e \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e-/- mice exhibited normal vocalizing responses to an incremental series of\u003cbr /\u003eelectric foot shocks and unaltered freezing responses during the conditioning session and\u003cbr /\u003ecued fear conditioning test, indicating that pain perception or emotional expression is not\u003cbr /\u003eaffected in \u003ci\u003ePtprz-/-\u003c/i\u003e mice. Thus, \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e-/- mice did not show sensory or emotional deficits,\u003cbr /\u003e but exhibited selective impairments in hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks.\u003cbr /\u003e Second, to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which Ptprz controls p190\u003cbr /\u003e RhoGAP activity, the site of dephosphorylation by Ptprz was determined by a mutation\u003cbr /\u003estudy. As Y1087 and Y1105 of p190 RhoGAP are reported to be the sites of tyrosine\u003cbr /\u003ephosphorylation on p190 RhoGAP, these sites were replaced with phenylalanine. Then,\u003cbr /\u003e \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c/i\u003e dephosphorylation assays with Ptprz were performed using wi1d-type p190\u003cbr /\u003eRhoGAP and its mutants. The Y1087F mutant as well as wild-type p190 RhoGAP was\u003cbr /\u003eefficiently dephosphorylated by the whole intracellular region of Ptprz while Y1105F and\u003cbr /\u003eY1087/1105F mutants were not, indicating that Y1105 is the site of dephosphorylation by\u003cbr /\u003e Ptprz.\u003cbr /\u003e Next, the effect of the phospholylation at this site on p190 RhoGAP activity was\u003cbr /\u003eexamined using wild-type p190 RhoGAP and Y1105F mutant. GAP activity was\u003cbr /\u003eindirectly observed by the Rho activity assay, which detects the active fom of Rho.\u003cbr /\u003eCotransfection of wild-type p190 RhoGAP and v-src in HEK293T cells led to an increase\u003cbr /\u003ein p190 RhoGAP tyrosine phosphorylation along with further inhibition of Rho,\u003cbr /\u003eindicating that increased tyrosine phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP enhances its GAP\u003cbr /\u003eactivity. On the other hand, Y1105F p190 RhoGAP, a mutant that can not be\u003cbr /\u003e phosphorylated at Y1105, inhibited Rho to a comparable extent to wild-type p190\u003cbr /\u003eRhoGAP. However, V-src did not increase the tyrosine phosphorylation of the Y1105F\u003cbr /\u003emutant, and further inhibition of Rho was not observed, indicating that phosphorylation\u003cbr /\u003e at Y1105 is critical for the regulation of p190 RhoGAP activity. Thus, tyrosine\u003cbr /\u003ephosphorylation at Y1105 positively controls the activity of p190 RhoGAP, which\u003cbr /\u003eindicates that p190 RhoGAP activity may be suppressed when p190 RhoGAP, is\u003cbr /\u003edephosphorylated at Y1105 by Ptprz.\u003cbr /\u003e Finally the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP in the hippocampus was compared\u003cbr /\u003ebetween wild-type and mutant mice after fear conditioning. To analyze the\u003cbr /\u003ephosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP especially at the site of dephosphorylation by Ptprz, a\u003cbr /\u003ephosphor-specific antibody (anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP) directed against\u003cbr /\u003eY1105 phosphorylated p190 RhoGAP) was generated by immunizing rabbits with the \u003cbr /\u003etyrosine-phosphorylated peptide. Then, hoppocampal homogenates were prepared from\u003cbr /\u003eanimals after conditioning, and the effects of \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e knock-out on tyrosine\u003cbr /\u003ephosphorylation of hippocampal proteins were examined.\u003cbr/\u003e There were no significant differences in overall tyrosine phosphorylation patterns of\u003cbr /\u003ethe hippocampal homogenates among the four groups. However, conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003e\u003cbr/\u003emice showed significantly reduced p190 RhoGAP tyrosine phosphorylation compared\u003cbr /\u003ewith sham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice. In contrast, conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e-/-\u003c/sup\u003e mice exhibited\u003cbr /\u003esimilar levels of tyrosine phosphorylation to sham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003emice.\u003cbr /\u003eAssessment by immunoblotting with anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP antibody reveraled that\u003cbr /\u003ethe level of p190 RhoGAP phosphorylated at Y1105 was significantly lower in\u003cbr /\u003econditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice than in sham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice, and almost identical\u003cbr /\u003ebetween conditioned and sham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice. These results can be\u003cbr /\u003eexplained as indicating that only wild-type mice show dephosphorylation of p190\u003cbr /\u003eRhoGAP after fear conditioning, suggesting that p190 RhoGAP is dephosphorylated by\u003cbr /\u003ePtprz after fear memory formation.\u003cbr /\u003e Moreover, the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP at Y1105 in the hippocampus was\u003cbr /\u003eexamined by immunohistochemistry using anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP antibody. A\u003cbr /\u003ecomparable level of p190 RhoGAP immunolabeling was confirmed among the four\u003cbr /\u003egroups by staining with anti-p190 RhoGAP antibody. However, only sham-conditioned\u003cbr /\u003e \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice showed significantly enhanced staining with anti-pY1105 p190 RhoGAP\u003cbr /\u003eantibody. The immunostaining in sham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003e mice was observed in the\u003cbr /\u003estratum oriens as well as the stratum radiatum, in which Ptprz is prominently distributed.\u003cbr /\u003eThese results indicate that dephosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP by Ptprz is involved in\u003cbr /\u003efear memory formation.\u003cbr /\u003e The present study demonstrated that the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP was\u003cbr /\u003eaberrantly regulated in \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e-/-\u003c/sup\u003e mice after fear conditioning. The level of \u003cbr /\u003ephosphorylation at Y1105 was decreased in conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice compared with\u003cbr /\u003esham-conditioned \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e+/+\u003c/sup\u003emice whereas no change was observed in \u003ci\u003ePtprz\u003c/i\u003e\u003csup\u003e-/-\u003c/sup\u003emice.\u003cbr /\u003eThese results indicate that p190 RhoGAP activity is suppressed and consequently Rho\u003cbr /\u003eGTPase is activated after fear conditioning in wild-type mice, however,p190 RhoGAP\u003cbr /\u003eactivity is maintained and subsequent Rho GTPase activation after learning does not\u003cbr /\u003eoccur in mutant mice. The lack of Rho GTPase activity after learning is thus likely\u003cbr /\u003eresponsible for the learning defects in Prprz-deficient mice, which is consistent with a\u003cbr /\u003eprevious study in which post-training infusion of Y-27632 into the hippocampus impaired\u003cbr /\u003espatial memory.\u003cbr /\u003e In conclusion, Y1105 is the site of p190 RhoGAP dephosphorylation by Ptprz.\u003cbr /\u003ePtprz inhibits p190 RhoGAP through dephosphorylation at this site, and consequently\u003cbr /\u003eactivates Rho GTPase.

内容記述 | Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z(Ptprz) is receptor-type PTP that is<br />expressed predominantly in the CNS as a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Although it<br />is expressed in neurons and astrocytes throughout development and adulthood,<br /> <i>Ptprz</i>-deficient (<i>Ptprz</i><sup>-/-</sup>) mice show no obvious anatomical abnormalities in the brain.<br />However, the recent study revealed that adult <i>Ptprz</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice exhibit functional<br /> impairments in the hippocampus, where Ptprz is highlyl expressed. Adult Pfprz-/- mice<br />show memory deficits in the Morris water maze, and demonstrate enhanced hippocampal<br />LTP in the CA1 region, which is cancelled out by inhibiting ROCK, a major downstream<br />effector of Rho GTPase. In addition, pl90 RhoGAP, a GTPase-activating protein<br />(GAP) which potently inhibits RhoGTPase, has been identified as a possible substrate of<br />Ptprz. These findings suggest that the Rho-ROCK pathway is impaired in <i>Ptprz</i>-/- mice, <br />however, little is known about the details of the intracellular signal transduction<br /> mechanism of Ptprz.<br /> This thesis investigates the possibility that Ptprz is involved in the molecular<br />mechanisms of memory formation through controlling the activity of p190 RhoGAP<br />using <i>Ptprz</i>-deficient (Ptprz<sup>-/-</sup>) mice. First, the hippocampus-dependent learning ability<br />of Ptprz<sup>-/-</sup> mice is analyzed by fear conditioning, which requires the association of an<br />environment with an aversive electric stimulus. Second, to elucidate the molecular<br />mechanism by which Ptprz controls p190 RhoGAP activity, the site of dephosphorylation<br /> of p190 RhoGAP by Ptprz is identified, and the effect of phosphorylation at this site on<br />p190 RhoGAP activity is examined by a Rho activity assay. Finally, the<br /> phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP in the hippocampus, especially at the site of<br /> dephosphorylation by Ptprz, is compared between wild-type and mutant mice after fear<br />conditioning.<br /> To examine the hippocampus-dependent learning ability of Ptprz<sup>-/-</sup> mice in fear<br />conditioning, <i>Ptprz-/-</i> mice were tasted in two forms of behavioral tasks: contextual fear<br />conditioning and cued fear conditioning. Both are sensitive to amygdala lesions, but<br />only contextual fear conditioning is sensitive to hippocampal lesions. <i>Ptprz</i>-/-mice<br />demonstrated marked impairements selectively in contextual fear conditioning.<br /> To further define the specificity of behavioral deficits, <i>Ptprz</i>-/- mice were subjected to<br />the elevated plus maze test in which fear or anxiety-related behaviors are analyzed. The<br />maze had two enclosed arms with high walls and two open arms with low rims and was<br />elevated above the foor. As mice usually avoid the open arms of maze, the extent of<br />anxiety can be evaluated by the time spent in the open arms relative to the closed arms.<br /> In addition, the numbers of entries into the arms of the maze likely corresponds to<br />general motor activity or exploratory activity. There were no significant differences<br />between the genotypes.<br /> <i>Ptprz</i>-/- mice exhibited normal vocalizing responses to an incremental series of<br />electric foot shocks and unaltered freezing responses during the conditioning session and<br />cued fear conditioning test, indicating that pain perception or emotional expression is not<br />affected in <i>Ptprz-/-</i> mice. Thus, <i>Ptprz</i>-/- mice did not show sensory or emotional deficits,<br /> but exhibited selective impairments in hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks.<br /> Second, to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which Ptprz controls p190<br /> RhoGAP activity, the site of dephosphorylation by Ptprz was determined by a mutation<br />study. As Y1087 and Y1105 of p190 RhoGAP are reported to be the sites of tyrosine<br />phosphorylation on p190 RhoGAP, these sites were replaced with phenylalanine. Then,<br /> <i>in vitro</i> dephosphorylation assays with Ptprz were performed using wi1d-type p190<br />RhoGAP and its mutants. The Y1087F mutant as well as wild-type p190 RhoGAP was<br />efficiently dephosphorylated by the whole intracellular region of Ptprz while Y1105F and<br />Y1087/1105F mutants were not, indicating that Y1105 is the site of dephosphorylation by<br /> Ptprz.<br /> Next, the effect of the phospholylation at this site on p190 RhoGAP activity was<br />examined using wild-type p190 RhoGAP and Y1105F mutant. GAP activity was<br />indirectly observed by the Rho activity assay, which detects the active fom of Rho.<br />Cotransfection of wild-type p190 RhoGAP and v-src in HEK293T cells led to an increase<br />in p190 RhoGAP tyrosine phosphorylation along with further inhibition of Rho,<br />indicating that increased tyrosine phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP enhances its GAP<br />activity. On the other hand, Y1105F p190 RhoGAP, a mutant that can not be<br /> phosphorylated at Y1105, inhibited Rho to a comparable extent to wild-type p190<br />RhoGAP. However, V-src did not increase the tyrosine phosphorylation of the Y1105F<br />mutant, and further inhibition of Rho was not observed, indicating that phosphorylation<br /> at Y1105 is critical for the regulation of p190 RhoGAP activity. Thus, tyrosine<br />phosphorylation at Y1105 positively controls the activity of p190 RhoGAP, which<br />indicates that p190 RhoGAP activity may be suppressed when p190 RhoGAP, is<br />dephosphorylated at Y1105 by Ptprz.<br /> Finally the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP in the hippocampus was compared<br />between wild-type and mutant mice after fear conditioning. To analyze the<br />phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP especially at the site of dephosphorylation by Ptprz, a<br />phosphor-specific antibody (anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP) directed against<br />Y1105 phosphorylated p190 RhoGAP) was generated by immunizing rabbits with the <br />tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide. Then, hoppocampal homogenates were prepared from<br />animals after conditioning, and the effects of <i>Ptprz</i> knock-out on tyrosine<br />phosphorylation of hippocampal proteins were examined.<br/> There were no significant differences in overall tyrosine phosphorylation patterns of<br />the hippocampal homogenates among the four groups. However, conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup><br/>mice showed significantly reduced p190 RhoGAP tyrosine phosphorylation compared<br />with sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice. In contrast, conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice exhibited<br />similar levels of tyrosine phosphorylation to sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i>mice.<br />Assessment by immunoblotting with anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP antibody reveraled that<br />the level of p190 RhoGAP phosphorylated at Y1105 was significantly lower in<br />conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice than in sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice, and almost identical<br />between conditioned and sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice. These results can be<br />explained as indicating that only wild-type mice show dephosphorylation of p190<br />RhoGAP after fear conditioning, suggesting that p190 RhoGAP is dephosphorylated by<br />Ptprz after fear memory formation.<br /> Moreover, the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP at Y1105 in the hippocampus was<br />examined by immunohistochemistry using anti-p Y1105 p190 RhoGAP antibody. A<br />comparable level of p190 RhoGAP immunolabeling was confirmed among the four<br />groups by staining with anti-p190 RhoGAP antibody. However, only sham-conditioned<br /> <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice showed significantly enhanced staining with anti-pY1105 p190 RhoGAP<br />antibody. The immunostaining in sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup> mice was observed in the<br />stratum oriens as well as the stratum radiatum, in which Ptprz is prominently distributed.<br />These results indicate that dephosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP by Ptprz is involved in<br />fear memory formation.<br /> The present study demonstrated that the phosphorylation of p190 RhoGAP was<br />aberrantly regulated in <i>Ptprz</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice after fear conditioning. The level of <br />phosphorylation at Y1105 was decreased in conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice compared with<br />sham-conditioned <i>Ptprz</i><sup>+/+</sup>mice whereas no change was observed in <i>Ptprz</i><sup>-/-</sup>mice.<br />These results indicate that p190 RhoGAP activity is suppressed and consequently Rho<br />GTPase is activated after fear conditioning in wild-type mice, however,p190 RhoGAP<br />activity is maintained and subsequent Rho GTPase activation after learning does not<br />occur in mutant mice. The lack of Rho GTPase activity after learning is thus likely<br />responsible for the learning defects in Prprz-deficient mice, which is consistent with a<br />previous study in which post-training infusion of Y-27632 into the hippocampus impaired<br />spatial memory.<br /> In conclusion, Y1105 is the site of p190 RhoGAP dephosphorylation by Ptprz.<br />Ptprz inhibits p190 RhoGAP through dephosphorylation at this site, and consequently<br />activates Rho GTPase. This regulation of p190 RhoGAP by Ptprz plays crucial roles in<br />the molecular mechanisms underlying hippocampus-dependent memory formation. | |||||
