Defining the impact of diabetes and related risk factors on brain cognitive function is critically important for patients with diabetes.
To investigate the alterations in hippocampal serine/threonine kinases signaling in the early phase of type 1 and type 2 diabetic rats.
Early experimental diabetes mellitus was induced in rats with streptozotocin or streptozotocin/high fat. Changes in the phosphorylation of proteins were determined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry.
Our data showed a pronounced decrease in the phosphorylation of Ca(2+) /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the hippocampi of both type 1 and type 2 diabetic rats compared with age-matched control rats. Unexpectedly, we found a significant increase in the phosphorylation of synapsin I (Ser 603) and GluR1 (Ser 831) in the same experiment. In addition, aberrant changes in hippocampal protein kinase C (PKC) and protein kinase A (PKA) signaling in type 1 and type 2 diabetic rats were also found. Moreover, PP1α and PP2A protein levels were decreased in the hippocampus of type 1 diabetic rats, but significantly up-regulated in type 2 diabetic rats.
The disturbance of CaMKII/PKA/PKC phosphorylation in the hippocampus is an early change that may be associated with the development and progression of diabetes-related cognitive dysfunction.
明确糖尿病及相关危险因素对大脑认知功能的影响,对糖尿病患者至关重要。
研究 1 型和 2 型糖尿病大鼠早期海马丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶信号转导的改变。
采用链脲佐菌素或链脲佐菌素/高脂诱导大鼠早期实验性糖尿病。通过免疫印迹和免疫组化测定蛋白质磷酸化的变化。
与年龄匹配的对照组大鼠相比,我们的数据显示,1 型和 2 型糖尿病大鼠海马中的钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶 II(CaMKII)磷酸化明显降低。出乎意料的是,我们在同一实验中发现突触素 I(Ser603)和 GluR1(Ser831)的磷酸化显著增加。此外,还发现 1 型和 2 型糖尿病大鼠海马蛋白激酶 C(PKC)和蛋白激酶 A(PKA)信号的异常变化。此外,1 型糖尿病大鼠海马中的蛋白磷酸酶 1α(PP1α)和蛋白磷酸酶 2A(PP2A)蛋白水平降低,但在 2 型糖尿病大鼠中显著上调。
海马中 CaMKII/PKA/PKC 磷酸化的紊乱是一种早期变化,可能与糖尿病相关认知功能障碍的发生和发展有关。
