AbstractMonitoring Editor: J. Silvio Gutkind The 5-HT4 receptors have recently emerged as key modulators of learning, memory and cognitive processes. In neurons, 5-HT4Rs activate cAMP production and PKA, however, nothing is known about their ability to activate another key signaling pathway involved in learning and memory: the ERK pathway. Here, we show that 5-HT4R-stimulation, in primary neurons, produced a potent but transient activation of the ERK pathway. Surprisingly, this activation was mostly PKA-independent. Similarly, using pharmacological, genetic and molecular tools, we also observed that 5-HT4Rs in HEK293 cells, activated the ERK pathway in a Gs/cAMP/PKA-independent manner. We also demonstrated that other classical G proteins (Gq/Gi/Go) and associated downstream messengers were not implicated in the 5-HT4R-activated ERK pathway. The 5-HT4R-mediated ERK activation appeared to be dependent on Src tyrosine kinase and yet totally independent of beta-arrestin. Immunocytofluorescence revealed that p-ERK activation by 5-HT4R was restrained to the plasma membrane, whereas p-Src colocalized with the receptor and carried on even after endocytosis. This phenomenon may result from a tight interaction between 5-HT4R and p-Src detected by coimmunoprecipitation. Finally, we confirmed that the main route by which 5-HT4Rs activate ERKs in neurons was Src-dependent. Thus, in addition to classical cAMP/PKA signaling pathways, 5-HT4Rs may use ERK pathways to control memory process.
