Altered Glutamate Receptor Ionotropic Delta Subunit 2 Expression in Stau2-Deficient Cerebellar Purkinje Cells in the Adult Brain.


ABSTRACT: Staufen2 (Stau2) is an RNA-binding protein that is involved in dendritic spine morphogenesis and function. Several studies have recently investigated the role of Stau2 in the regulation of its neuronal target mRNAs, with particular focus on the hippocampus. Here, we provide evidence for Stau2 expression and function in cerebellar Purkinje cells. We show that Stau2 downregulation (Stau2GT) led to an increase of glutamate receptor ionotropic delta subunit 2 (GluD2) in Purkinje cells when animals performed physical activity by voluntary wheel running compared with the age-matched wildtype (WT) mice (C57Bl/6J). Furthermore, Stau2GT mice showed lower performance in motor coordination assays but enhanced motor learning abilities than did WT mice, concomitantly with an increase in dendritic GluD2 expression. Together, our results suggest the novel role of Stau2 in Purkinje cell synaptogenesis in the mouse cerebellum.
