Résumé

The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are major signaling components of intracellular pathways required for memory consolidation. Mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinases 1 and 2 (MSK1 and MSK2) mediate signal transduction downstream of MAPK. MSKs are activated by Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 MAPK. In turn, they can activate cyclic AMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB), thereby modulating the expression of immediate early genes crucial for the formation of long-term memories. While MSK1 has been previously implicated in certain forms of learning and memory, little is known concerning MSK2. Our goal was to explore the respective contribution of MSK1 and MSK2 in hippocampal synaptic transmission and plasticity and hippocampal-dependent recognition memory. In Msk1- and Msk2-knockout mice, we evaluated object and object-place recognition memory, basal synaptic transmission, paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) and inhibition (PPI), and the capacity to induce and sustain long-term potentiation (LTP) in vivo. We also assessed the level of two proteins downstream in the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway crucial for long-term memory, CREB and the immediate early gene (IEG) Early growth response 1 (EGR1). Loss of Msk1, but not of Msk2, affected excitatory synaptic transmission at perforant path-to-dentate granule cell synapses, altered short-term presynaptic plasticity, impaired selectively long-term spatial recognition memory, and decreased basal levels of CREB and its activated form. LTP in vivo and LTP-induced CREB phosphorylation and EGR1 expression were unchanged after Msk1 or Msk2 deletion. Our findings demonstrate a dissimilar contribution of MSKs proteins in cognitive processes and suggest that Msk1 loss-of-function only has a deleterious impact on neuronal activity and hippocampal-dependent memory consolidation.
