The Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease risk locus FYN kinase is implicated in neurodegeneration and inflammatory signaling. To investigate in vivo mechanisms of Fyn-driven neurodegeneration, we built a zebrafish neural-specific Gal4:UAS model of constitutively active FynY531F signaling. Using in vivo live imaging, we demonstrated that neural FynY531F expression leads to dopaminergic neuron loss and mitochondrial aggregation in 5 day larval brain. Dopaminergic loss coincided with microglia activation and induction of tnfa, il1b and il12a inflammatory cytokine expression. Transcriptome analysis revealed Stat3 signaling as a potential Fyn target. Chemical inhibition experiments confirmed Fyn-driven dopaminergic neuron loss, and the inflammatory response was dependent upon activation of Stat3 and NF-κB pathways. Dual chemical inhibition demonstrated that Stat3 acts synergistically with NF-κB in dopaminergic neuron degeneration. These results identify Stat3 as a novel downstream effector of Fyn signaling in neurodegeneration and inflammation.
