Abstract

Aims: Src family protein tyrosine kinases (SrcPTKs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of brain ischemia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated whether Src and Fyn kinases, two major members of SrcPTKs in the brain, have distinct roles in the oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) and amyloid-β peptide (Aβ)-induced neuronal apoptosis.

Methods And Results: The DAPI staining and caspase-3 activation analysis showed that small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) knockdown of Src or Fyn attenuated SH-SY5Y cells apoptosis after OGD and Aβ treatment. Fyn knockdown had a more potent neuroprotective effect than Src knockdown, suggesting a principal pathological significance of Fyn in brain ischemia and AD. Previously, we reported that brain ischemia promotes the phosphorylation of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) at tyrosine 523 (Y523), which is associated with postsynaptic mechanisms of excitotoxicity. Here, immunoblot analysis indicated that not only OGD but also Aβ incubation increased the PSD-95Y523 phosphorylation. Src knockdown, especially Fyn knockdown, significantly inhibited such phosphorylation.

Conclusion: Fyn mediates PSD-95Y523 phosphorylation, which may be responsible for the excitotoxic signal cascades and neuronal apoptosis in brain ischemia and Aβ neurotoxicity. Fyn is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ischemic stroke and AD.
