摘要: Hypofunction of the N-methyl D-aspartate subtype glutamate receptor (NMDAR) is hypothesized to be a mechanism underlying cognitive dysfunction in individuals with schizophrenia. For schizophrenia-linked genes NRG1 and ERBB4, NMDAR hypofunction thus considered key detrimental consequence excessive NRG1-ErbB4 signaling found people However, we show here that neuregulin 1β-ErbB4 (NRG1β-ErbB4) does not cause general NMDARs. Rather, find that, hippocampus prefrontal cortex, NRG1β-ErbB4 suppresses enhancement synaptic currents by nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src. prevented induction long-term potentiation at hippocampal Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses suppressed Src-dependent responses during theta-burst stimulation. Moreover, theta burst-induced phosphorylation GluN2B inhibiting Src activity. We propose participates schizophrenia aberrantly suppressing Src-mediated function.
