Previous studies suggest that ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) may represent one of the extrinsic signals controlling the development of vertebrate retinal photoreceptors. In dissociated cultures from embryonic chick retina, exogenously applied CNTF has been shown to act on postmitotic rod precursor cells, resulting in an two- to fourfold increase in the number of cells acquiring an opsin-positive phenotype. We now demonstrate that the responsiveness of photoreceptor precursors to CNTF is confined to a brief phase between their final mitosis and their terminal differentiation owing to the temporally restricted expression of the CNTF receptor (CNTFRα). As shown immunocytochemically, CNTFRα expression in the presumptive photoreceptor layer of the chick retina starts at embryonic day 8 (E8) and is rapidly down-regulated a few days later prior to the differentiation of opsin-positive photoreceptors, both in vivo and in dissociated cultures from E8. We further show that the CNTF-dependent in vitro differentiation of rods is followed by a phase of photoreceptor-specific apoptotic cell death. The loss of differentiated rods during this apoptotic phase can be prevented by micromolar concentrations of retinol. Our results provide evidence that photoreceptor development depends on the sequential action of different extrinsic signals. The time course of CNTFRα expression and the in vitro effects suggest that CNTF or a related molecule is required during early stages of rod differentiation, while differentiated rods depend on additional protective factors for survival. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

CNTF rescues various types of lesioned neurons in vivo, and it needs to be released from astrocytes into the extracellular space to have the effect. However, direct evidence for CNTF release has not been unequivocally demonstrated. We hypothesized that the rapid sequestration by CNTF receptor present on cultured astrocytes might be the cause of the inability to detect CNTF released into astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM). Therefore, we measured CNTF immunoreactivity in medium conditioned by astrocytes treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) which was used to prevent released CNTF from binding to the CNTF receptor, since PI-PLC cleaves glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor of CNTFR, the unique component involved in CNTF binding. CNTF was not detectable in untreated ACM, but was detectable in PI-PLC-treated ACM. These results together with the evidence that PI-PLC treatment did not have a toxic effect on astrocytes prove the fact that CNTF can be released from astrocytes without cell lysis. Subsequently, the effect of cytokines such as IL-1, TNF-, and EGF on CNTF release was examined. These cytokines increased CNTF protein levels in ACMs without increasing CNTF protein levels in astrocyte-extracts, indicating that they enhanced CNTF release from astrocytes. 相似文献

Neuregulin-1β (NRG-1β) signaling has multiple functions in neurons. To assess NRG-1β on neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration in vitro, organotypic dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuronal culture model was established. Neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration were evaluated using this culture model in the presence (5 nmol/L, 10 nmol/L, 20 nmol/L) or absence of NRG-1β. Neurofilament 200 (NF-200)-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were determined as the migrating neurons. The number of nerve fiber bundles extended from DRG explant increased significantly in the presence of NRG-1β (5 nmol/L, 23.0 ± 2.2, P < 0.05; 10 nmol/L, 27.0 ± 2.7, P < 0.001; 20 nmol/L, 30.8 ± 3.7, P < 0.001) as compared with that in the absence of NRG-1β (19.0 ± 2.2). The number of neurons migrating from DRG explants increased significantly in the presence of NRG-1β (5 nmol/L, 39.6 ± 5.0, P < 0.05; 10 nmol/L, 54.6 ± 6.7, P < 0.001; 20 nmol/L, 62.2 ± 5.7, P < 0.001) as compared with that in the absence of NRG-1β (31.6 ± 4.0). Moreover, the increase of the number of nerve fiber bundles and the number of migrating NF-200-IR neurons was dose-dependent for NRG-1β addition. The data in this study imply that NRG-1β promotes neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration from DRG explants in vitro. 相似文献

Our group previously demonstrated that CNTF protects pancreatic islets against apoptosis induced by IL1β. In addition, it is known that AMPK knockout protects beta cells from IL1β-mediated apoptosis, however how AMPK activation leads to apoptosis remains unknown. The present study was designed to investigate the possible role of AMPK pathway modulation in CNTF protective effects against apoptosis induced by IL1β or Alloxan and how AMPK activation leads to beta cells apoptosis. First, we observed that apoptosis of MIN6 cells, induced by Alloxan as well as IL-1β, requires activation of the AMPK pathway, and also that CNTF protective effects are dependent on downregulation of AMPK. In addition, we found that Alloxan induces AMPK differently from IL1β, as Alloxan acts mainly through CaMKII while IL1β acts through LKB1 phosphorylation. Meanwhile, CNTF by itself inhibited the AMPK pathway and protected against AMPK activation induced by Alloxan or IL1β via downregulation of CaMKII. Finally, AMPK-dependent MIN6 cell apoptosis, induced by IL1β or Alloxan, required increased iNOS expression, an effect that was reversed by CNTF downregulation of AMPK pathway and iNOS expression. In conclusion, IL1β upregulates the LKB1-AMPK-INOS pathway, while Alloxan acts through CaMKII-AMPK-INOS, both ultimately leading to beta cell death. In this context, CNTF protects beta cells against apoptosis, induced by either IL1β or Alloxan, through downregulation of the CaMKII-AMPK-INOS pathway. 相似文献

[Purpose]
The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of detraining on motor unit potential area (SMUP), muscular function and physical performance, according to CNTF gene polymorphism.[Methods]
For this study, GG (normal homozygote, n = 8) group and GA + AA (mutation heterozygote and homozygote, n = 10) group were divided by CNTF gene polymorphism and both groups were performed detraining for 4 weeks. The data was analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA for verifying the differences between two groups and interaction using SPSS (ver. 20.0) statistical program.[Results]
The results were as follows. First, changes in body composition were measured but there was no significant interaction effect between time and group. Seconds, changes in SMUP were measured by SEMG. Interaction effect between time and group was found lateral vastus during isokinetic exercise of 180°/sec (p < .05). Third, changes in isokinetic muscle strength of 60°/sec and 180°/sec were measured but there was no significant interaction effect. Fourth, significant statistical differences were not showed changes of sports performance after detraining.[Conclusion]
In conclusion, there were no significantly differences between GG and GA + AA group after detraining, therefore, further study will be considered a matter in various its interventions such as serum levels of CNTF and changes in receptors and muscle fiber types. 相似文献38.
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) are neurally active cytokines, or neurokines. LIF signals through a receptor consisting of gp130 and the low affinity LIF receptor (LIFR), while the CNTF receptor consists of gp130, LIFR, and the low affinity CNTF receptor (CNTFR). Ser1044 of the LIFR is phosphorylated by Erk1/2 MAP kinase. Stimulation of neural cells with growth factors which strongly activate Erk1/2 decreases LIF-mediated signal transduction due to increased degradation of the LIFR as a consequence of Erk1/2-dependent phosphorylation of the receptor at Ser1044. 相似文献

We previously reported that ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) increased the serum-free cell survival of immortalized motor neuron-like cells (NSC-34), and addition of the exogenous ganglioside GalNAc4(Neu5Ac3)Gal4GlcCer (GM2) facilitated cell survival together with CNTF. Moreover 1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2 synthase) activity increased in NSC-34 cells cultured with CNTF. We now have examined whether CNTF-induced cell survival is associated with the collaboration between GM2 and the CNTF receptor (CNTF-R). Despite the presence of CNTF (50 ng/ml), anti-CNTF-R antibody caused cell death and prevented the up-regulation of GM2 synthase expression. The addition of GM2 (1 to 20 M) abrogated the anti-CNTF-R antibody effect which shortened cell survival and blocked GM2 synthase activation. Use of [125I]CNTF showed the specificity of CNTF binding in NSC-34 cells in situ. GM2 produced a 5-fold increase in the CNTF binding affinity per cell but did not change the binding site number. The study by metabolic labeling with [1–14C]N-acetyl-D-galactosamine ([14C]GalNAc) showed that biosynthesized GM2 was involved in the immunoprecipitation of CNTF-R. These findings indicate that up-regulated GM2 synthesis induces functional conversion of CNTF-R to the activated state, in which it has affinity for CNTF. We conclude that GM2 is a bio-regulating molecule of CNTF-R in motor neurons. 相似文献
