We previously showed that the serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 3 (SGK3) increases the AMPA-type glutamate receptor GluA1 protein in the plasma membrane. The activation of AMPA receptors by NMDA-type glutamate receptors eventually leads to postsynaptic neuronal plasticity. Here, we show that SGK3 mRNA is upregulated in the hippocampus of new-born wild type Wistar rats after NMDA receptor activation. We further demonstrate in the Xenopus oocyte expression system that delivery of GluA1 protein to the plasma membrane depends on the small GTPase RAB11. This RAB-dependent GluA1 trafficking requires phosphorylation and activation of phosphoinositol-3-phosphate-5-kinase (PIKfyve) and the generation of PI(3,5)P(2). In line with this mechanism we could show PIKfyve mRNA expression in the hippocampus of wild type C57/BL6 mice and phosphorylation of PIKfyve by SGK3. Incubation of hippocampal slices with the PIKfyve inhibitor YM201636 revealed reduced CA1 basal synaptic activity. Furthermore, treatment of primary hippocampal neurons with YM201636 altered the GluA1 expression pattern towards reduced synaptic expression of GluA1. Our findings demonstrate for the first time an involvement of PIKfyve and PI(3,5)P(2) in NMDA receptor-triggered synaptic GluA1 trafficking. This new regulatory pathway of GluA1 may contribute to synaptic plasticity and memory.

Figure 1. SGK3 mRNA expression in hippocampus after pharmacological NMDA receptor stimulation.mRNA levels of SGK3 before and after incubation of hippocampal slices with 10 µM NMDA for 30 minutes, determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression data from hippocampus were normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene β-actin. The quantitative RT-PCR revealed a 2.5±0,52 fold increase in SGK3 mRNA in NMDA-treated compared to non-treated hippocampal slices. Number of experiments nâ=â4.
Figure 2. PIKfyve expression, phosphorylation, and function.(A) PIKfyve is phosphorylated at Ser318 by SGK3 and at Ser318 by PKB. Purified recombinant GST-tagged wild-type (WT) or S318A mutant (SA) of PIKfyve was subjected to Western blotting. Blots were incubated with rabbit anti-GST antibody (PIKfyve; lower panel), followed by stripping and reprobing with a rabbit anti-PIKfyve antibody specific for phosphoserine 318 (apS318; top panel). (B) RT-PCR demonstrating that PIKfyve is expressed in hippocampus. Lane 1: cDNA from hippocampus, the two primers bind in exons 19 and 20, respectively, and amplify a 315 bp fragment of PIKfyve; lane 2: control reaction to exclude genomic contamination; lane 3: control reaction without reverse transcriptase; lane 4: control reaction without cDNA. (C) The PIKfyve inhibitor YM201636 and SGK inhibitor EMD638683 suppress the upregulating effect of SGK3 on GluA1 currents. GluA1 current amplitudes in oocytes expressing GluA1. Acute injection of purified active SGK3 protein led to an increase in GluA1 currents. The effects of YM201636 and EMD638683 on GluA1 currents were measured in oocytes before and after acute injection of SGK3 protein. Significant change to GluA1 control (pâ=â0.013) is indicated by *. Numbers of oocytes were nâ=â7â36.

Figure 6. Reduced GluA1 expression after treatment with an SGK inhibitor or a PIKfyve inhibitor.(A, B) Statistical analysis of GluA1 surface expression and colocalization of GluA1 with neuroligin revealed increased surface and synaptic GluA1 expression after treatment with NMDA.

Figure 7. PIKfyve inhibition results in depression of hippocampal basal synaptic transmission.(A) Basal synaptic transmission was recorded in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices. Control (non-treated) hippocampi, or hippocampi treated with DMSO showed stable evoked responses throughout the 210 min recording period. Treatment with the PIKfyve inhibitor (YM201636) elicited a depression of evoked responses that became evident 40 min after drug application. Line-breaks indicate changes in time-scale. Black bar indicates DMSO or drug application. (B) Analog traces representing evoked potentials obtained in control slices or in slices in the presence of DMSO or YM201636, at the time-points indicated in the graph. Vertical scale-bar, 3 mV; horizontal bar, 3 ms.
Figure 8. Postulated model of SGK3-dependent regulation of GluA1.Upon stimulation of NMDA receptors SGK3 is transcriptionally upregulated. SGK3 in turn phosphorylates/activates PIKfyve, which leads to local production of PI(3,5)P2 in PIKfyve-containing recycling vesicles. PI(3,5)P2 in turn stimulates Rab11-dependent plasma membrane-directed trafficking of GluA1-containing vesicles.
