Abstract：
:As a recreational drug of abuse and an injectable anesthetic, ketamine has been shown to cause cognitive dysfunction and induce psychotic states. Although the specific mechanism is still unclear, it may be linked to synaptic receptors, including the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor. Recent evidence suggests that Tau protein phosphorylation and targeted delivery to the postsynaptic area is involved in maintaining neuronal plasticity, indicating that the neurotoxicity induced by ketamine may be related to the transfer of Tau protein after phosphorylation. In this study, we established a model of long-term (6 months) ketamine administration in wild-type (C57BL/6) and Tau knockout mice to investigate the effects of different doses of ketamine administration on Tau protein expression and phosphorylation in the mouse hippocampus. We also investigated changes in AMPA receptor expression in the synaptic membrane of wild-type and Tau knockout mice. Our results showed that long-term ketamine administration led to excessive Tau protein phosphorylation at Ser202/Thr205 and Ser396, but not at Ser199, Ser262 and Ser404. Most importantly, long-term ketamine administration decreased AMPA receptor levels in the hippocampal cell membrane in a Tau protein-dependent manner. Our results reveal the role of Tau protein phosphorylation in the mechanism of ketamine neurotoxicity, suggesting that the changes of membrane AMPA receptor and synaptic function induced by ketamine are mediated by abnormal phosphorylation of Tau protein at specific sites.
