S-nitrosylation of Src by NR2B-nNOS signal causes Src activation and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in levodopa-induced dyskinetic rat model

Abstract

Abnormality in Src PSD-95 NR2B signaling complex assemble occurs in levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by Src family protein tyrosine kinases is closely associated with dyskinesia. Src autophosphorylation (p-Src) is an important part of Src-catalyzed phosphorylation of NR2B. In addition, the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-derived NO (nNOS/NO) signal which was also involved in dyskinesia recently was proved to participate in the regulation of Src function. Yet, the detailed signal mechanism about the interactions of NR2B, nNOS, and Src is still unknown. In the present study, we investigated the influences of nNOS on Src activation and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in dyskinetic rat model by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. The results demonstrated that chronic levodopa treatment resulted in downregulation of p-nNOS-S847, one marker of nNOS overactivation. Coinstantaneously, the S-nitrosylation (SNO-Src) and autophosphorylation (p-Src) of Src and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation were upregulated in dyskinetic rat model. Conversely, administration of 7-NI, one nNOS inhibitor, reversed all these effects of levodopa treatment. Besides, NR2B-containing NMDAR (NR2B/NMDAR) antagonist CP-101,606 could upregulate p-nNOS-S847 and thus attenuate nNOS activation and simultaneously reduce the SNO-Src, p-Src, and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, the S-nitrosylation of Src is caused by nNOS/NO signal, which is overactivated via Ca²⁺ influx dependent on NR2B/NMDAR, and subsequently facilitates Src auto-tyrosine phosphorylation and further phosphorylates NR2B. The “NR2B/NMDAR–nNOS/NO–SNO-Src–p-Src–NR2B/NMDAR” signaling cycle may be the molecular basis of NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation upward positive feedback, which demonstrates the possibility as one latent target for dyskinesia therapy.

Introduction

Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is one of the thorniest troubles during the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dyskinesia commonly presents as chorea or choreoathetosis. This major motor complication of long-term levodopa treatment has restricted levodopa use for PD treatment in the hemi-parkinsonian rat model by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion; levodopa results in equal side effects named abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) affecting cranial, trunk, and limb muscles on the side of the body contralateral to the lesion.^1
–3 Dyskinesia is difficult to treat and, therefore, efforts should be made to prevent them.

The underlying mechanisms for dyskinesia are unclear. Recent studies indicate the importance of pulsatile stimulation of striatal postsynaptic receptors in their pathogenesis. It is suggested that with the gradual reduction in the level of striatal dopamine with the progression of PD, the fluctuation of exogenous levodopa level brings about the striatal dopamine receptor aberrant stimulation, which can further overactivate ionotropic glutamatergic receptors and signal cascade reactions.^1

–5 On this side, we had found evidences that chronic levodopa alternative treatment induced the overactivation of striatal N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) by the increased NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation dependent on the associations of NR2B with Src family protein tyrosine kinase, which were closely implicated in the pathogenesis of LID.^6,7 It was reported that the activated Src (autophosphorylation of Src at Tyr416) can catalyze NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation and then mediate NMDAR function.⁸ Therefore, research on regulation and activation of Src is very important to clarify the molecular mechanism of LID, but in this regard, we still know little.

In addition, another very important gaseous messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO), derived from neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) has also been involved in the pathogenesis of LID. NO plays an important role in motor control within the central nervous system. nNOS inhibition can reduce the development of dyskinesia in PD rats.^9
–11 As an important downstream effector of NMDAR, nNOS functionally colocalized in the synaptic site with NMDAR.^12,13 The nNOS signal recently was proved to participate the activation of Src function by regulating S-nitrosylation of signal molecular.¹³ Thus, nNOS signal might in turn regulate the NR2B activation. Yet, the detailed signal mechanism about the interactions of NR2B, Src, and nNOS is still unknown.

Based on the abovementioned evidences, in order to uncover the relationship between NR2B, Src, and nNOS, we investigated the effects of 7-NI (nNOS inhibitor) and CP-101,606 (NR2B/NMDAR antagonist) on the S-nitrosylation and activation of Src and the further activation of NR2B by Src.

Materials and methods

Animals

Adult female Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 75, Shanghai SIPPR-BK Laboratory Animal Company, China) weighing 200–250 g were used. Suitable living conditions and food and water were given to the rats. The Local Ethics Committee approved the procedures, which were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the National Institutes of Health for the care and use of laboratory animals (NIH publication no 80-23) and the Animals Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments guidelines. According to the principles of the 3Rs, Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement, all operations were conducted after pentobarbital anesthesia for the purpose of minimizing animal numbers and their discomfort.

Parkinsonian rat model

Rat head was placed onto stereotaxic (Narishige, Japan) after pentobarbital anesthesia (50 mg/kg body weight, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) and injected 6-OHDA (8 µg in 4 µl physiological saline) into the right medial forebrain bundle (bregma 4.5 mm; lateral 0.9 mm and dura 7.5 mm).¹⁴ Three weeks after 6-OHDA microinjections, the lesioned rats were injected with apomorphine (APO; 0.25 mg/kg in physiological saline water, i.p.) and were placed in a stainless steel bowl. The rats that showed APO-induced rotation of over seven turns per minute away from the lesioned side were chosen for the next study.¹⁵ Forty successfully parkinsonian rats were selected for the next research.

Drug treatment scheme and behavior assessments

We established five groups (10 rats per group), including control group, PD group (hemi-6-OHDA lesion), dyskinesia group (PD rats with chronic levodopa treatment), 7-NI group (PD rats with chronic levodopa treatment plus 7-NI injection), and CP-101,606 group (PD rats with chronic levodopa treatment plus CP-101,606 injection). The control rats and PD rats were treated twice daily i.p. with normal saline for 23 days. Other PD rats were treated twice daily i.p. with levodopa methyl ester for 22 days (25 mg/kg with benserazide 6.25 mg/kg).¹⁶ On day 23, these rats received i.p. levodopa or levodopa plus 7-NI (25 mg/kg) or levodopa plus CP-101,606 (0.5 mg/kg) 30 min before each levodopa dose treatment.^7,13 During the drug treatment, AIMs were assessed in the light of the previous approach.¹⁷ Briefly, we assessed locomotor, axial, limb, and orolingual movement for each rat after L-DOPA administration on the testing day of 1, 8, 15, 22, and 23. Within every 20-min intervals over 3 h, AIMs were graded for 60 s. Severity scoring from 0 to 4 was designated to each AIMs. In the end, the four categories of AIM scores were added up at each time point (Figure 1). After the last levodopa treatment, the rats were killed, and the striatum was dissected and frozen at −80°C for next immunoblotting (IB).

Immunoblotting

Striatal tissues (five rats per group) underwent lysis in the containing phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride tissue lysis buffer. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation for 10 min at 12,000 × g in the cold room. A bicinchoninic acid assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, Illinois, USA) was used to measure protein concentration. Then, 20 μg samples of protein were loaded onto 7.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel and electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. After blocking for 1 h in 5% skim milk, the PVDF membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C in shaker with the following antibodies, including rabbit polyclonal anti-NR2B antibody (1:1000) (rabbit polyclonal anti-pNR2B-Tyr1472 antibody (1:1000); mouse monoclonal anti-Src antibody (1:1000); mouse monoclonal anti-p-Src antibody (1:1000); mouse monoclonal anti-S-nitroso-cysteine (SNO-Cys) antibody (1:1000) from Sigma, St Louis, Missouri, USA; rabbit polyclonal anti-nNOS-phospho-Ser847 (p-nNOS-S847) antibody (1:1000) or β-actin (1:1000) from Abcam LTD, Cambridge, UK). After washing three times, the PVDF membrane was then incubated for 1 h with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody diluted in TBST (1:2000). Then, an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) was used to detect signal. Quantitative image analysis of IB was performed by calculating the relative density of the immunoreactive bands after acquisition of the IB image with a Nikon CCD video camera module and analysis with NIH Image (1.34). The band density is normalized to the β-actin density for every immunoblot.

IP for determining protein S-nitrosylation

Striatal samples (containing 400 µg of protein) were diluted four-fold with immunoprecipitation (IP) buffer and preincubated with 25 µl of protein A sepharose CL-4B (Amersham) for 1 h at 4°C. After centrifugation, the supernatant was incubated with 2 µg antibody (mouse monoclonal anti-Src antibody) overnight at 4°C; 25 µl of protein A sepharose CL-4B was added and the incubation continued for 2 h at 4°C. Immune complex was isolated by centrifugation and the pellet was washed three times with IP buffer. Bound proteins were eluted by boiling for 5 min in Laemmli sample buffer. Then, sample was centrifuged and supernatant was used for protein analysis by IB with anti-SNO-Cys antibody as described above.

Data analysis

Data were demonstrated as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis of the biochemical results was accomplished by analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett’s t-test. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used to evaluate AIMs. A p value of <0.05 represents statistically significant.

Power analysis for the two-group independent sample t-test was conducted to assess the number of rats necessary to obtain statistically significant data (α = 0.05) for preselected power 0.8 and expected effect size. The effect size describes minimal clinically relevant difference, defined as the difference between the means. According to previous report,¹⁸ sample size was estimated using a formula based on our trial example. Entering all values in the formula yields N = 4.8. This means that a sample size of five rats per group is needed to answer the research questions.

Results

Effect of 7-NI and CP-101,606 on dyskinetic behavior

The data suggested that the individual and total AIM scores showed progressively rise after chronic-repeated levodopa treatment in PD rats, as shown in Figure 2. On day 23, coadministration of 7-NI or CP-101,606 significantly reduced the AIM scores with statistically differences in comparison with dyskinesia group (p < 0.05). Detailed results are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2.

Total AIM scores and individual abnormal involuntary orolingual, limb, axial, and locomotor movement scores were measured as an index of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Levodopa was administered for 22 consecutive days in rats with 6-OHDA lesion. On day 23, 7-NI or CP-101,606 or vehicle was coadministered with levodopa i.p. twice daily. *p < 0.05 versus day 1; ^#p < 0.05 versus dyskinesia group on day 23. A significant reduction of AIM scores was observed in 7-NI or CP-101,606-treated dyskinesia rat model. AIM: abnormal involuntary movement; 6-OHDA: 6-hydroxydopamine; i.p.: intraperitoneally.

Effects of 7-NI on the augmented SNO-Src, p-Src, and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in the lesioned striatum

As demonstrated in Figure 3, the expression of SNO-Src, p-Src, and pNR2B-Tyr1472 were upregulated obviously in dyskinesia group. On the day of 23 during levodopa treatment, the abundance of SNO-Src, p-Src, and pNR2B-Tyr1472 increased to 130.2 ± 11.2%, 145.5 ± 7.3%, and 142.3 ± 8.1%, respectively, of control group (p < 0.05, compared with PD group). However, coadministration of 7-NI reduced the SNO-Src, p-Src, and pNR2B-Tyr1472 level in dyskinetic rats to 112.3 ± 7.1%, 120.5 ± 6.2%, and 123.6 ± 6.9%, respectively, of control group (p < 0.05, compared with dyskinesia group). There was no significant difference in the abundance of Src in the lesioned striatum in control, PD, dyskinesia, and 7-NI-treated rats. Taken together, these results indicate that inhibition of nNOS with 7-NI could lead to lower phosphorylation and S-nitrosylation of Src and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation.

A significant attenuation of SNO-Src, p-Src, and p-NR2B levels was observed in the 7-NI-treated dyskinesia rat model. The results were repeatable on striatal extracts from five rats. IP: immunoprecipitation; SNO-Cys: S-nitroso-cysteine; PD: Parkinson’s disease.

Effects of CP-101,606 on the p-nNOS-S847, p-Src, SNO-Src, and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in the lesioned striatum

The expression of p-nNOS-S847 was downregulated obviously in dyskinesia group. However, coadministration of CP-101,606 reversed the p-nNOS-S847 level in dyskinetic rats to 110.1 ± 5.6%, respectively, of control group (p < 0.05, compared with dyskinesia group).

Yet, as demonstrated in Figure 4, the expression of SNO-Src, p-Src, and pNR2B-Tyr1472 was upregulated obviously in dyskinesia group. Coadministration of CP-101,606 reduced the SNO-Src, p-Src, and pNR2B-Tyr1472 levels in dyskinetic rats to 108.4 ± 6.9%, 115.1 ± 4.1%, and 113.4 ± 5.3%, respectively, of control group (p < 0.05, compared with dyskinesia group). There was no significant difference in the abundance of Src in the lesioned striatum in control, PD, dyskinesia, and CP-101,606-treated rats. Taken together, these results indicate that inhibition of NR2B/NMDAR with CP-101,606 could lead to higher p-nNOS-S847, lower phosphorylation, and S-nitrosylation of Src and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation.

A significant attenuation of SNO-Src, p-Src, and p-NR2B levels and upregulation of p-nNOS-S847 were observed in the CP-101,606-treated dyskinesia rat model. The results were repeatable on striatal extracts from five rats. IP: immunoprecipitation; SNO-Cys: S-nitroso-cysteine; PD: Parkinson’s disease; nNOS: neuronal nitric oxide synthase.

Discussion

In the present study, we found that chronic levodopa treatment promoted Src kinase activation by Src S-nitrosylation and tyrosine-416 autophosphorylation. The activated Src enhanced NMDAR activation via exacerbating NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation, which closely correlated with the expression of dyskinesia. These findings demonstrated that inhibition of SNO-Src could attenuate NMDAR overactivation in dyskinesia rat model via suppressing the postsynaptic “NR2B/NMDAR–nNOS/NO–SNO-Src–p-Src–NR2B/NMDAR” signal cycle.

The striatal pulsatile dopamine receptor stimulation can lead to aberrant signal cascade reactions in dyskinesia rat model.^1,4,19 Previous research have suggested that Src tyrosine kinase was one important protein kinases for intracellular signal transduction related to dopamine receptor reaction.^20,21 Calcium influx dependent on the NMDAR can modulate many downstream signaling pathways after chronic L-DOPA treatment, including Src or CaMKII activation.^22
–24 Our previous research had shown that NR2B/NMDAR antagonist could inhibit Src activation in dyskinesia rat model by attenuating interactions among NR2B and Src.⁷ Yet, the underlying mechanisms of Src activation in dyskinesia rat model have not been clarified.

In the light of intramolecular modulation, Src phosphorylation sites comprise the inhibitory phosphorylation site at tyrosine-527 (p-Src527) and the stimulatory phosphorylation site at tyrosine-416 (p-Src416) which is attributed to the Src autophosphorylation. In vivo, most of Src is phosphorylated under normal circumstance, which is prone to be activated by several mechanisms, for example, Src tyrosine-527 dephosphorylation and Src tyrosine-416 autophosphorylation.^25,26 The NO toxicant metabolic substance, peroxynitrite (ONOO–), can also provoke the Src activity and phosphorylation by enhancing Src nitration.²⁷ Similar to the phosphorylation, S-nitrosylation is one reversible targeted protein function modification in the process of molecular signaling transduction. As reflected in the results, levodopa treatment leads to significant upregulation of SNO-Src and p-Src. Thus, in the present research, we found two forms of Src activation, which are the p-Src416 by Src autophosphorylation and the SNO-Src at cysteine by NO signal.

nNOS is one of the sources of NO signal.^9
–11 Our further research demonstrated that calcium influx via the NMDAR modulated the downstream nNOS signal pathways. Chronic levodopa treatment could result in downregulation of p-nNOS-S847 which reflected nNOS overactivation in dyskinesia rat model.^28,29 And inhibition of nNOS with 7-NI could lead to lower phosphorylation and S-nitrosylation of Src and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation. NR2B/NMDAR antagonist CP-101,606 could upregulate p-nNOS-S847 levels and reduce the nNOS activation and thus produce the similar effects like nNOS inhibitor 7-NI, which were consistent with the change of the behavioral profile of this drug. Taken together, the S-nitrosylation of Src is caused by nNOS/NO signal, which is overactivated via Ca²⁺ influx dependent on NR2B/NMDAR and subsequently facilitates Src tyrosine autophosphorylation and further phosphorylates NR2B. The “NR2B/NMDAR–nNOS/NO–SNO-Src–p-Src–NR2B/NMDAR” signaling cycle may be the molecular basis of NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation upward positive feedback.

Conclusion

Now, it is well considered that Src tyrosine kinase plays an important role in modulation of NMDAR function in dyskinesia. Our findings indicate that the agents, which suppress Src S-nitrosylation and autophosphorylation, can indirectly reduce overactivation of NMDAR and obviously improve behavioral responses in dyskinesia. As we known, direct NMDAR antagonists for treating dyskinesia can bring about undesirable side effects in preclinical and clinical trials.^30,31 That is the reason that we explore the relation between Src activation and NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation. These can be hopeful as agents for treating dyskinesia in PD.
