TrkA receptor activation is a pivotal process for neuronal cell differentiation and survival. However, its overactivation or removal of its ligand NGF tends to cause the cell death. Recently, we demonstrated that TrkA overexpression induces cell death via apoptosis. In this study we also show that the TrkA-mediated cell death is associated with autophagy. TrkA-induced cells revealed an increase of GFP-LC3 punctate formation, development of acidic vesicular organelles (AVO) and formation of autophagosomes, which were eventually blocked by the addition of some autophagy inhibitors such as 3-methyladenine, ammonium chloride or wortmannin. In addition, although expression of autophagy-related proteins such as LC3-II or Beclin-1 was subtly altered during the TrkA-mediated cell death, depletion of ATG5 or Beclin-1 substantially decreased cell death in TrkA-expressing cells. In particular, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were dramatically accumulated in TrkA-induced cells, and the high accumulation of ROS was released by treatment of autophagy inhibitors. Furthermore, addition of an antioxidant N-acetylcysteine promoted the survival of TrkA-expressing cells and suppressed AVO production in cells. We also showed that this ROS accumulation was closely associated with reduction of catalase expression. Taken together, TrkA overexpression causes ROS accumulation via reduced catalase expression, ultimately leading to autophagic cell death. 相似文献

Granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by a progressive age-dependent extracellular accumulation of transforming growth factor β-induced protein (TGFBI). Corneal fibroblasts from GCD2 patients also have progressive degenerative features, but the mechanism underlying this degeneration remains unknown. Here we observed that TGFBI was degraded by autophagy, but not by the ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent pathway. We also found that GCD2 homozygous corneal fibroblasts displayed a greater number of fragmented mitochondria. Most notably, mutant TGFBI (mut-TGFBI) extensively colocalized with microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3β (MAP1LC3B, hereafter referred to as LC3)-enriched cytosolic vesicles and CTSD in primary cultured GCD2 corneal fibroblasts. Levels of LC3-II, a marker of autophagy activation, were significantly increased in GCD2 corneal fibroblasts. Nevertheless, levels of SQSTM1/p62 and of polyubiquitinated protein were also significantly increased in GCD2 corneal fibroblasts compared with wild-type (WT) cells. However, LC3-II levels did not differ significantly between WT and GCD2 cells, as assessed by the presence of bafilomycin A1, the fusion blocker of autophagosomes and lysosomes. Likewise, bafilomycin A1 caused a similar change in levels of SQSTM1. Thus, the increase in autophagosomes containing mut-TGFBI may be due to inefficient fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. Rapamycin, an autophagy activator, decreased mut-TGFBI, whereas inhibition of autophagy increased active caspase-3, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and reduced the viability of GCD2 corneal fibroblasts compared with WT controls. These data suggest that defective autophagy may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of GCD2. 相似文献
