The NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) is phosphorylated by the Src family kinase Fyn in brain, with tyrosine (Y) 1472 as the major phosphorylation site. While Y1472 phosphrylation is important for synaptic plasticity, it is unknown whether it is involved in NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity in neonatal brain hypoxiaischemia (HI). This study was designed to elucidate the specific role of Y1472 phosphorylation of NR2B in neonatal HI in vivo and in NMDA-mediated neuronal death in vitro. Neonatal mice with a knock-in mutation of Y1472 to phenylalanine (YF-KI) and their wildtype (WT) littermates were subjected to HI using the Vannucci model. Brains were scored five days later for damage using cresyl violet and iron staining. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation were performed to determine NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation. Expression of NADPH oxidase subunits and superoxide production were measured in vivo. NMDA-induced calcium response, superoxide formation and cell death were evaluated in primary cortical neurons. After neonatal HI, YF-KI mice have reduced expression of NADPH oxidase subunit gp91phox and p47phox and superoxide production, lower activity of proteases implicated in necrotic and apoptotic cell death, and less brain damage compared to the WT mice. In vitro, YF-KI mutation diminishes superoxide generation in response to NMDA without effect on calcium accumulation; and inhibits NMDA and glutamate-induced cell death. Upregulation of NR2B phosphorylation at Y1472 following neonatal HI is involved in superoxide-mediated oxidative stress and contributes to brain injury.
