Abstract

Objectives Sarcoma family kinase activity is associated with multiple diseases including ischemia and cancer; however, its role in the mechanism of migraine aura has been less well characterised. This study aims to investigate whether sarcoma family kinase is required for cortical spreading depression. Methods Cortical spreading depression was induced by topical application of K⁺ to the cerebral cortex and was monitored using electrophysiology in rats, and intrinsic optical signal in mouse brain slices. Drugs were perfused into the contralateral cerebral ventricle for pharmacological manipulations in rats. Western blot analysis was used for detecting the level of phosphorylated, and total, sarcoma family kinase in the ipsilateral cortex of rats. Key results The data demonstrate that a single cortical spreading depression in rats induced ipsilateral cortical sarcoma family kinase phosphorylation at the Y416 site. Deactivation of sarcoma family kinase by its inhibitor (3-(4-chlorophenyl) 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1 H-pyrazolo[3,4- dpyrimidin-4-amine) suppressed the elevated enzyme activity and cortical susceptibility to cortical spreading depression. Interestingly, the inhibitory effect of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist NVP-AAM077 on cortical spreading depression was reversed by the sarcoma family kinase activator pYEEI (EPQY(PO₃H₂)EEEIPIYL), suggesting a link between this enzyme and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Similarly, after deactivation of sarcoma family kinase, a reduction of sarcoma family kinase phosphorylation and cortical susceptibility to cortical spreading depression was observed with NVP-AAM077. Conclusions We conclude that activation of sarcoma family kinase is required for cortical spreading depression, and this process is regulated by recruiting N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. This study provides novel insight for sarcoma family kinase function in the mechanism of migraine aura.
