项目摘要

The aim of this project is to clarify the neuronal functions of calmodulin-dependent protein kinases, particularly CaM kinase I (CaMKI). To obtain better understanding of the functions of CaMKI, we first examined the developmental expression of the four isoform (a, b2, g, d) in mouse brain by in situ hybridization histochemistry. In the developing hippocampus, the four isoforms of CaMKI exhibit distinct expression patterns in terms of the chronological order of the appearance in the hippocampal subregions. For example, CaMKIδ, which is the most abundant isoform in the hippocampal pyramidal neurons, started to be expressed in the CA3 regions, followed by the CA1. On the other hand, the expression of CaMKIα and CaMKIβ2 is decreased after the postnatal second week in the hippocampal pyramidal cell layer. Since the temporal expression patterns of CaMKIs, particularly CaMKIδ, correlates well with the temporal schedule of the dendritic formation of the hippocampal pyramidal neurons, we examined the functional involvement of CaMKI in the deridritic formation of cultured hippocampal neurons by transfecting various kinase-dead mutants of CaMKI which were expected to work as dominant negatives. The overexpression of kinase-dead mutants of CaMKI reduced the average dendritic length of the transfected neurons without any significant effects on the number of primary dendrites and branching index. This finding suggest that CaMKI may be involved in the dendritic growth, particularly the extension of dendrites.

本项目的目的是阐明钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶，特别是CaM激酶I（CaMKI）的神经功能。为了更好地了解CaMKI的功能，我们首先用原位杂交组织化学方法研究了CaMKI的四种亚型（a，b2，g，d）在小鼠脑中的发育表达。在发育中的海马，四种异构体的CaMKI表现出不同的表达模式的时间顺序的外观在海马亚区。例如，海马锥体神经元中最丰富的同种型CaMKIδ开始在CA 3区表达，其次是CA 1。另一方面，海马锥体细胞层CaMKIα和CaMKIβ2的表达在生后第2周开始下降。由于CaMKI（特别是CaMKIδ）的时间表达模式与海马锥体神经元树枝状结构的时间表密切相关，因此我们通过转染各种激酶死亡的CaMKI突变体来检查CaMKI在培养海马神经元树枝状结构中的功能参与。预计CaMKI将作为显性负作用。CaMKI激酶死亡突变体的过表达降低了转染神经元的平均树突长度，而对初级树突的数量和分支指数没有任何显着影响。这一发现表明CaMKI可能参与了树突的生长，特别是树突的延伸。
