Studies performed on a rat model of SMP have shown biomolecular changes and a reorganization of sensorimotor cortex through events such as morphological modifications of dendritic spines (number, length, functionality). However, underlying mechanisms are still unclear. It is well known that phosphorylation regulates a wide field of synaptic activity leading to neuroplasticity. Another post-translational modification that interplays with phosphorylation is O-GlcNAcylation. This atypical glycosylation, reversible, and dynamic, is involved in essential cellular and physiological processes such as synaptic activity, neuronal morphogenesis, learning, and memory. We examined potential roles of phosphorylation/O-GlcNAcylation interplay in synaptic plasticity within rat sensorimotor cortex after a SMP period. For this purpose, sensorimotor cortex synaptosomes were separated by sucrose gradient, in order to isolate a subcellular compartment enriched in proteins involved in synaptic functions. A period of SMP induced plastic changes at the pre- and post-synaptic levels, characterized by a reduction in phosphorylation (synapsin1, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid receptors (AMPAR) GluA2) and expression (synaptophysin, PSD-95, AMPAR GluA2) of synaptic proteins, as well as a decrease in MAPK/ERK42 activation. Expression levels of O-GlcNAc transferase/O-GlcNAcase enzymes was unchanged but we observed a specific reduction of synapsin1 O-GlcNAcylation in sensorimotor cortex synaptosomes. The synergistic regulation of synapsin1 phosphorylation/O-GlcNAcylation could affect pre-synaptic neurotransmitter release. Associated with other pre- and post-synaptic changes, synaptic efficacy could be impaired in somatosensory cortex of SMP rat. Thus, phosphorylation/O-GlcNAcylation interplay appears to be involved in synaptic plasticity by finely regulating neural activity.Show less >
