CDK5 downregulation enhances synaptic plasticity

Abstract: CDK5 is a serine/threonine kinase that is involved in the normal function of the adult brain and plays a role in neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. However, its over-regulation has been associated with Tau hyperphosphorylation and cognitive deficits. Our previous studies have demonstrated that CDK5 targeting using shRNA-miR provides neuroprotection and prevents cognitive deficits. Dendritic spine morphogenesis and forms of long-term synaptic plasticity-such as long-term potentiation (LTP)-have been pro… Show more

“…CREB functions in transcriptional regulation through phosphorylation. It is a key regulator of long-term memory formation and can facilitate long-term potentiation (LTP) in animals, including mice [ 36 , 37 ]. In addition, changes in CREB phosphorylation can affect neuronal synaptic plasticity and the formation of neural networks [ 38 ].…”

“…For quantification of spine density, secondary dendrite shafts (≥30 μm) were selected from supragranular neurons located in the dentate gyrus. Segmentation of dendrites, spines, and quantification of spine density was performed as describes before (Tortosa et al, ; Posada‐Duque et al, ). For dendritic spine density, mushroom, stubby and thin spines, but not filopodia, were quantified.…”

“…GFAP is a marker of astrogliosis on brain disease, and its proliferation is related to the adverse progression of brain impairment, pro-inflammatory response, lymphocytic infiltration, cytokines release, and neurovascular uncoupling (1,3,6). Interestingly, CDK5 knock-down could prevent the astrogliosis (7,12,18,42,43).…”
