Greengard遗产: 留给后人新的领域去拓展,科学奖与传承
纵观历史长流,科学的发展是由众多很小的发现逐渐累积的。但在这所有的发现中,最重要的是那些突破性的、开启新领域的发现。经济学上有个说法叫帕累托法则(Pareto principle,俗称二八法则),即80%的土地为20%富人所有。科学上也有类似的现象,即80%的大文章由20%的精英科学家发表。在诺贝尔奖获得者中该比例更高。当然,这也会进入一个“富人越来越富”的循环。精英科学家获得更多的资助、招募更优秀的学生、发表更多的文章,这是科学上的马太效应(Matthew Effect in Science)。
神经传递慢反应的“慢”是相对神经传递快反应而言的。从神经递质(如谷氨酸)结合离子型受体,通道打开,离子跨膜传输形成电流,细胞电压变化,整个反应发生在1毫秒之内;而由代谢型受体(比如多巴胺受体)介导的慢反应则耗时几百毫秒,甚至几分钟。但对于化学反应而言,几百毫秒到几分钟的“慢”反应仍然是很“快”的反应,故一开始Greengard的同行都不接受他的观点。
但Greengard的研究为我们开启了全新的一个世界,让我们认识到 这个“慢”的磷酸化/去磷酸化反应下游的多个效应物,包括:
1)离子通道,通过磷酸化修饰改变离子通道传输离子的能力,从而影响电导(G,电阻的倒立1/R,通道打开,电阻下降,电导上升)和动作电位(参考上文);
2)离子泵,在动作电位时,离子顺着细胞内外浓度差传输之后,需要通过离子泵逆浓度差传输回去,恢复浓度差,而对离子泵的磷酸化修饰则可通过改变离子浓度来影响细胞活性;
3)神经递质受体,包括离子型和代谢型受体(快和慢神经传递都受影响),对受体的磷酸化修饰可以一方面直接影响受体活性,另一方面影响受体插入细胞膜和从细胞膜内吞,从而改变受体的多少,两个影响都可改变突触的强弱,即突触可塑性;
4)基因表达,包括对神经递质受体基因表达的影响,从而影响受体的多少。
在调控突触可塑性方面,改变受体活性的影响较快,受体的入膜和内吞的影响较慢持续时间较长,受体基因表达的影响最慢持续时间最长。突触可塑性目前认为是学习和记忆的基础,Greengard 的好友Eric Kandel在这方面有重大贡献。总之,基本上这里提到的每一个研究都是开创一个新的领域。
最终Greengard与发现多巴胺的Carlsson、研究学习和记忆的神经分子机制的Kandel共享了2000年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。2004年,Greengard将他的诺奖奖金用于成立Pearl Meister Greengard Prize,纪念他因难产而死的母亲。Greengard直到上大学才知道他生母的事情,对于生母Pearl Meister Greengard,他没有任何记忆、照片和信息,他希望这个奖能够证明他母亲的存在。
该奖由洛克菲勒大学每年一次颁发给女性生物学家,用来支持女性科学家。获奖者中已有三人后来获诺贝尔奖,包括去年因CRISPR技术而获诺贝尔化学奖的Jennifer Doudna。获奖者中还有中科大天才班毕业生、著名华人生物物理学家庄小威。今年10月1日,mRNA疫苗技术发明人之一Katalin Karikó也被授予该奖。
Greengard的小儿子Leslie有医学和计算机科学双博士学位,两人曾合作建立多巴胺信号通路数学模型59。

现在我们知道多巴胺受体是G蛋白偶联的受体GPCR,一类结合多巴胺后激活神经细胞(一型受体),另一类结合多巴胺后抑制神经细胞(二型受体)。我们也知道纹状体SPN细胞有两条投射通路,一条直接通路促进运动(Go),另一条间接通路抑制运动(NoGo)。那么多巴胺一型/二型受体和直接/间接通路又有什么关系呢,多巴胺如何通过影响直接/间接通路来调控运动?颜震做的研究是什么呢?我们下回分解。
