High glucose (HG)-induced mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) overactivation acts as a signaling hub for the formation of tau hyperphosphorylation, which contributes to the development of diabetesassociated cognitive deficit. How HG induces the sustained activation of mTOR in neurons is not clearly understood. ErbB4, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family, plays critical roles in development and function of neural circuitry, relevant to behavioral deficits. Here, we showed HG-induced ErbB4 overexpression in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells and primary hippocampal neurons and hippocampal pyramidal neurons of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Inhibition of ErbB4 signaling prevented the HG-induced activation of mTOR/S6K signaling to suppress tau hyperphosphorylation. In contrast, ErbB4 overexpression increased the activation of mTOR/S6K signaling, resulting in tau hyperphosphorylation similar to HG treatment. We also demonstrated that HG upregulated the expression of ErbB4 at a mTORdependent posttranscriptional level. Together, our results provide the first evidence for the presence of a positive feedback loop for the sustained activation of mTOR involving overexpressed ErbB4, leading to the formation of tau hyperphosphorylation under HG condition. Therefore, ErbB4 is a potential therapeutic target for diabetes-associated neurodegeneration. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
