Alcohol abuse leads to tolerance, dependence and memory impairments that involve excitatory glutamatergic NMDA synaptic transmission. The NMDA receptor is known to undergo activity-dependent adaptive functional changes. Since we observed that acute ethanol inhibition of the NMDA receptor was regulated by protein tyrosine phosphorylation, we investigated the role of protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases on the NMDA receptor functions by chronic ethanol treatment. We carried out whole-cell recording, Western blotting and behavioral righting reflex measurements to assess the impact of chronic ethanol treatment on NMDA receptor function. Our results indicated that these receptors became resistant to the acute ethanol inhibition following chronic ethanol consumption. This resistance occurred without an increase in the NMDA receptor subunit expression but was associated with decreases in the levels of phospho-Y-1472 NR2B, increases in the levels of STEP33, increases in phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (pp38MAPK), and acquisition of tolerance to the sedative effects of ethanol. These data suggested that altered protein tyrosine phosphorylation of the NMDA receptor subunits significantly contributes to functional changes of this receptor by chronic ethanol ingestion. Therefore, preservation of the integrity of tyrosine phosphorylation mechanisms of the NMDA receptor may be important in controlling the progression of alcohol tolerance and dependence.
