Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) Degradation by Proteasome Controls a Developmental Switch in Neurotrophin Dependence

Abstract: Background: As neonatal hippocampal neurons mature, STAT3 levels increase via an unknown mechanism, which makes neurons neurotrophin-independent. Results: STAT3 protein levels are low in neonates because of calcineurin-dependent proteasomal degradation of STAT3. Conclusion: Calcineurin-dependent STAT3 degradation regulates the survival of neonatal neurons. Significance: Proteasomal degradation controls the developmental switch of neurotrophin dependence.

“…Neurons that survive during this period become resistant to neurotrophin deprivation. STAT3 has been proven to be a key regulator of neural survival during this stage [15]. Notably, this phase roughly corresponds to the time window of neural vulnerability to isoflurane [22].…”

“…The activity of calcineurin was determined in the freshly obtained frontal cortex using a colorimetric calcineurin cellular activity assay kit (Calbiochem, Germany) as described previously [15]. Calcineurin is not the only phosphatase in the brain, and it requires calcium for its activity; it has been proven to be completely inhibited by ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA).…”

“…Neurotrophins are a family of trophic factors, which are involved in differentiation and survival of neural cells (23,24). This family consists of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin 4 (NT-4).…”
