NGF receptor-mediated reduction in axonal NGF uptake and retrograde transport following sciatic nerve injury and during regeneration. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Injury to the rat sciatic nerve leads to the induction of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors on the denervated Schwann cells and their disappearance on the regenerating axons of the axotomized, normally NGF-sensitive sensory and sympathetic neurons. This disappearance in the axonal expression and retrograde transport of NGF receptors is associated with a similarly dramatic reduction in the axonal uptake and retrograde transport of NGF following axotomy and during regeneration. In view of the massive NGF synthesis occurring in the injured nerve, these results suggest that, while sensory and sympathetic neurons are the primary targets of NGF in the normal peripheral nervous system, the denervated Schwann cells may become its primary target in the aftermath of nerve injury. 相似文献

Extracellular nucleotides modulate synaptic transmission and neuronal communication by activating purinergic 2 (P2) (nucleotide) receptors. Here, we assessed changes in the regulation by nucleotides and their receptors of an important physiological response - release and uptake of catecholamines - that accompanies sympathoadrenal neuronal differentiation. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-promoted differentiation of pheochromocytoma 12 (PC12) cells enhanced the ability of the non-hydrolyzable ATP analog, ATPgammaS, to stimulate catecholamine (norepinephrine, NE) release and this enhancement occurred without a significant alteration in NE uptake. In addition to ATPgammaS, 2-MeSATP and alphabetaMeATP, P2X receptor-selective agonists, caused greater NE release from NGF-differentiated than from undifferentiated PC12 cells. NGF-differentiated PC12 cells had altered mRNA expression of several P2Y and P2X receptors but protein expression was only increased for P2X, in particular P2X(1-4,) receptors and P2X, but not P2Y, receptor inhibitors blunted the NGF-promoted enhancement in nucleotide-regulated catecholamine release. Surprisingly, siRNA directed against P2X(2), the receptor with the highest expression, failed to alter NE release by ATPgammaS. These findings indicate that sympathetic neuronal differentiation by NGF increases both the expression of P2X receptor sub-types and their regulation of catecholamine release. NGF-promoted increased expression of P2X receptors thus appears to be a physiologically important response that characterizes sympathetic neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

The current paradigm for the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) or FGF-2 in the differentiation of neuronal cells implies their binding to specific receptors and activation of kinase cascades leading to the expression of differentiation specific genes. We examined herein the hypothesis that FGF receptors (FGFRs) are involved in NGF-induced neuritogenesis of pheochromocytoma-derived PC12 cells. We demonstrate that in PC12 cells, FGFR expression and activity are modulated upon NGF treatment and that a dominant negative FGFR-2 reduces NGF-induced neuritogenesis. Moreover, FGF-2 expression is modulated by NGF, and FGF-2 is detected at the cell surface. Oligonucleotides that specifically inhibit FGF-2 binding to its receptors are able to significantly reduce NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. Finally, the duration of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity upon FGF or NGF stimulation is shortened in FGFR-2 dominant negative cells through inactivation of signaling from the receptor to the Ras/MAPK pathway. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that FGFR activation is involved in neuritogenesis induced by NGF where it contributes to a sustained MAPK activity in response to NGF. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potent regulator of sympathetic neuronal function in both developing and adult animals. This
article reviews the evidence published in recent years indicating that another member of the NGF family, neurotrophin 3 (NT3),
plays both a complementary and overlapping role in the development and maturation of sympathetic neurons. In migratory neural
crest cells, expression of the high-affinity receptor, trkC, and promotion of mitosis by NT3 suggest an involvement in gangliogenesis,
since sympathetic neuroblasts express both NT3 and trkC and require NT3 for their proliferation, differentiation, and survival,
it has been proposed that the factor acts at this developmental stage as an autocrine or paracrine factor. However, NT3 also
acts in parallel with NGF to promote the survival of postmitotic neurons during late development. Both trkC and trkA are expressed
in sympathetic neurons and function as high-affinity receptors for NT3. NT3 is synthesized in sympathetic effector tissues
and the endogenous factor is retrogradely transported to accumulate within the cell soma. Thus, in addition to its role in
the differentiation of sympathetic neurons, NT3, like NGF, is also an effector tissue-derived neurotrophic factor for these
neurons in maturity. 相似文献

Retinoic acid induces NGF-dependent survival response and high-affinity NGF receptors in immature chick sympathetic neurons. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
An important step in the development of peripheral sensory and sympathetic neurons is the onset of the survival response and dependence on the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF) or other neurotrophic factors. We have recently observed that immature sympathetic neurons from 7-day-old chick embryos are unable to become NGF-responsive in vitro and we have now used these cells to identify molecules that induce NGF-dependent neuronal survival. We found that retinoic acid (RA) induces the ability of these cells to survive in the presence of NGF. At RA concentrations of 10(-9)-10(-8)M virtually all neurons survived in the presence of NGF. RA was found to also induce the biologically active, high-affinity NGF receptor: high-affinity receptors were undetectable on dissociated E7 sympathetic neurons and were observed in vitro only in RA-treated neurons. These findings suggest that the induction of high-affinity NGF receptors may be sufficient to activate the survival response in sympathetic neurons and imply an important role for RA during neuron differentiation in the peripheral nervous system. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) acutely modulates synaptic transmission between sympathetic neurons and their cardiac myocyte targets. NGF also has developmental effects in establishing the level of synaptic transmission between sympathetic neurons and myocytes in culture, although little is known about the mechanisms by which NGF influences this synaptic connectivity. Here we report that NGF acts in conjunction with factors produced by cardiac myocytes to promote neuronal contact with the target and the extension of synaptic vesicle‐containing growth cones. In conjunction with previously published results showing that NGF has long‐term effects on synaptic transmission between sympathetic neurons and myocytes, this work suggests that NGF acts to promote sympathetic neurotransmission by increasing the number of sympathetic fibers establishing target contact. Further, we found that developmental changes in cardiac myocytes led to an increase in the density of synaptic vesicle–containing variocosities along sympathetic fibers, a process regulated by NGF. Thus, as myocytes mature they produce factors that promote the formation of sympathetic presynaptic structures. These results argue that multiple target interactions regulate the extent of synapse formation between sympathetic neurons and cardiac cells and suggest that NGF promotes presynaptic development by increasing neuronal contact with myocyte‐derived cell surface or matrix‐associated factors. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Elementary properties and pharmacological sensitivities of calcium channels in mammalian peripheral neurons 总被引:46,自引:0,他引:46
The major component of whole-cell Ca2+ current in differentiated, neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and sympathetic neurons is carried by dihydropyridine-insensitive, high-threshold-activated N-type Ca2+ channels. We show that these channels have unitary properties distinct from those of previously described Ca2+ channels and contribute both slowly inactivating and large sustained components of whole-cell current. The N-type Ca2+ currents are modulated by GTP binding proteins. The snail toxin omega-conotoxin reveals two pharmacological components of N-type currents, one blocked irreversibly and one inhibited reversibly. Contrary to previous reports, neuronal L-type channels are insensitive to omega-conotoxin. N-type Ca2+ channels appear to be specific for neuronal cells, since their functional expression is greatly enhanced by nerve growth factor. 相似文献

Lectin cytochemistry was used to identify surface epitopes selectively expressed by chromaffin cell chemoreceptors (glomus cells) in the rat carotid body. Unexpectedly, these studies revealed that binding sites for peanut agglutinin (PNA; Arachis hypogea) were highly expressed by all neuroendocrine derivatives of the sympathoadrenal neural crest, including glomus cells, small, intensely fluorescent cells, and adrenal chromaffin cells in situ. In contrast, principal sympathetic neurons did not express PNA receptors. PNA binding was inhibited by 2% galactose. To determine whether expression of PNA receptors was selectively induced by neuroendocrine differentiation of sympathoadrenal precursors, we compared PNA labeling of embryonic sympathoblasts in the presence of either nerve growth factor (NGF) or the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX). Dex-treated cells, which expressed several neuroendocrine traits, bound PNA, whereas NGF-treated neuronal derivatives did not. In addition, to examine whether expression of existing PNA receptors was down-regulated by neuronal differentiation of chromaffin cells, we compared labeling of PC12 cells, which normally bind PNA, in the presence and absence of NGF. Although PC12 cells acquired characteristic neuronal morphologies in the presence of NGF, they did not lose PNA labeling, even after 8 days of NGF treatment. These findings indicate that neuronal and neuroendocrine derivatives of the sympathoadrenal lineage can be distinguished by differential expression of carbohydrate epitopes and suggest that PNA receptors are induced by neuroendocrine differentiation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) and elevated K+ concentrations (35 mM) support the survival of the same population of chick embryonic sympathetic neurons. We have used methyltransferase inhibitors, which block protein methylation in intact cells, to investigate the mechanism(s) by which NGF and high K+ exert their effects. Methyltransferase inhibitors selectively blocked NGF-but not high K+-mediated survival of neurons. The ability of neurons, plated on laminin, to respond rapidly to NGF with neurite outgrowth was used to demonstrate that the blockade of the effects of NGF by methyltransferase inhibitors was reversible. At the molecular level, we studied the rapid decrease in phosphorylation of p70, a 70-kd phosphoprotein of sympathetic neurons regulated by both NGF and high K+. Methyltransferase inhibitors blocked the decrease in p70 phosphorylation induced by NGF but not that by high K+. We conclude that the early molecular events of NGF-mediated neuronal survival differ from those of high K+-mediated neuronal survival in that they involve protein methylation, whereas at a later step, possibly at the level of protein phosphorylation, the two pathways leading to survival of sympathetic neurons converge. 相似文献

Persistence of Borna disease virus (BDV) in the central nervous system causes damage to specific neuronal populations. BDV is noncytopathic, and the mechanisms underlying neuronal pathology are not well understood. One hypothesis is that infection affects the response of neurons to factors that are crucial for their proliferation, differentiation, or survival. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the response of PC12 cells persistently infected with BDV to the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF). PC12 is a neural crest-derived cell line that exhibits features of neuronal differentiation in response to NGF. We report that persistence of BDV led to a progressive change of phenotype of PC12 cells and blocked neurite outgrowth in response to NGF. Infection down-regulated the expression of synaptophysin and growth-associated protein-43, two molecules involved in neuronal plasticity, as well as the expression of the chromaffin-specific gene tyrosine hydroxylase. We showed that the block in response to NGF was due in part to the down-regulation of NGF receptors. Moreover, although BDV caused constitutive activation of the ERK1/2 pathway, activated ERKs were not translocated to the nucleus efficiently. These observations may account for the absence of neuronal differentiation of persistently infected PC12 cells treated with NGF. 相似文献

A neurotrophin signaling cascade coordinates sympathetic neuron development through differential control of TrkA trafficking and retrograde signaling 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
A fundamental question in developmental biology is how a limited number of growth factors and their cognate receptors coordinate the formation of tissues and organs endowed with enormous morphological complexity. We report that the related neurotrophins NGF and NT-3, acting through a common receptor, TrkA, are required for sequential stages of sympathetic axon growth and, thus, innervation of target fields. Yet, while NGF supports TrkA internalization and retrograde signaling from distal axons to cell bodies to promote neuronal survival, NT-3 cannot. Interestingly, final target-derived NGF promotes expression of the p75 neurotrophin receptor, in turn causing a reduction in the sensitivity of axons to intermediate target-derived NT-3. We propose that a hierarchical neurotrophin signaling cascade coordinates sequential stages of sympathetic axon growth, innervation of targets, and survival in a manner dependent on the differential control of TrkA internalization, trafficking, and retrograde axonal signaling. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and PDGF receptors are expressed in the mammalian central nervous system and that primary cultured neuroblasts from rat hindbrain have functional PDGF beta-receptors. Here, it is shown that cultured human neuroblastoma cells express PDGF alpha- and beta-receptors, but not PDGF-A and PDGF-B chain mRNA. In contrast to alpha-receptor expression, beta-receptor expression appears to be associated with a mature neuronal phenotype. Under serum-free growth conditions, PDGF-AA and -BB induce a trophic and weak mitogenic response in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, showing that the PDGF receptors in these cells are functional. In combination with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, all three PDGF isoforms induce sympathetic neuronal differentiation of the SH-SY5Y cells, as shown by morphology and by increased expression of the genes coding for growth-associated protein 43 and neuropeptide tyrosine, respectively. This indicates a potential role for PDGF in the development of sympathetic neurons in particular and of the nervous system in general. 相似文献

Past studies have shown that serum-free cultures of PC12 cells are a useful model system for studying the neuronal cell death which occurs after neurotrophic factor deprivation. In this experimental paradigm, nerve growth factor (NGF) rescues the cells from death. It is reported here that serum-deprived PC12 cells manifest an endonuclease activity that leads to internucleosomal cleavage of their cellular DNA. This activity is detected within 3 h of serum withdrawal and several hours before any morphological sign of cell degeneration or death. NGF and serum, which promote survival of the cells, inhibit the DNA fragmentation. Aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA), a general inhibitor of nucleases in vitro, suppresses the endonuclease activity and promotes long-term survival of PC12 cells in serum-free cultures. This effect appears to be independent of macromolecular synthesis. In addition, ATA promotes long-term survival of cultured sympathetic neurons after NGF withdrawal. ATA neither promotes nor maintains neurite outgrowth. It is hypothesized that the activation of an endogenous endonuclease could be responsible for neuronal cell death after neurotrophic factor deprivation and that growth factors could promote survival by leading to inhibition of constitutively present endonucleases. 相似文献

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric cancer. New therapies for high-risk NB aim to induce cell differentiation and to inhibit MYCN and ALK signaling in NB. The vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are 2 related neuropeptides sharing common receptors. The level of VIP increases with NB differentiation. Here, the effects of VIP and PACAP analogs developed for therapeutic use were studied in MYCN-amplified NB SK-N-DZ and IMR-32 cells and in Kelly cells that in addition present the F1174L ALK mutation. As previously reported by our group in IMR-32 cells, VIP induced neuritogenesis in SK-N-DZ and Kelly cells and reduced MYCN expression in Kelly but not in SK-N-DZ cells. VIP decreased AKT activity in the ALK-mutated Kelly cells. These effects were PKA-dependent. IMR-32, SK-NDZ and Kelly cells expressed the genes encoding the 3 subtypes of VIP and PACAP receptors, VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1. In parallel to its effect on MYCN expression, VIP inhibited invasion in IMR-32 and Kelly cells. Among the 3 PACAP analogs tested, [Hyp2]PACAP-27 showed higher efficiency than VIP in Kelly cells. These results indicate that VIP and PACAP analogs act on molecular and cellular processes that could reduce aggressiveness of high-risk NB. 相似文献

Sympathetic ganglia are composed of noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons. Cholinergic sympathetic neurons are characterized by the expression of choline acetyl transferase (ChAT), vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) and the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). To investigate the role of cytokine growth factor family members in the development of cholinergic sympathetic neurons, we interfered in vivo with the function of the subclass of cytokine receptors that contains LIFRbeta as essential receptor subunit. Expression of LIFRbeta antisense RNA interfered with LIFRbeta expression and strongly reduced the developmental induction of VIP expression. By contrast, ganglion size and the number of ChAT-positive cells were not reduced. These results demonstrate a physiological role of cytokines acting through LIFRbeta-containing receptors in the control of VIP expression in sympathetic neurons. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potent neurotrophin signaling protein, the best-known member of a family of similar neurotrophins. Specific neuronal populations depend upon the neurotrophins for normal function and disturbances in NGF and neurotrophin supply have been implicated in neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, and hypertension. This report details experiments in which the hourly pattern of NGF secretion by cultured vascular smooth muscle cells is examined. Vascular smooth muscle cells are major innervation targets of the neuronal population first discovered to be NGF-dependent: the sympathetic principal neurons. The results show that arginine vasopressin (AVP), angiotensin II (AngII), and α-adrenergic receptor activation, all contractile stimuli, elevate NGF secretion. However, AVP dependably does so alone while AngII requires coactivation of adenosine receptors. Adenosine alone inhibits secretion and the α-adrenergic increase in NGF output can be antagonized by activation of β-adrenergic receptors. A change to fresh culture medium is also a potent stimulus to increased NGF output. 相似文献

Sympathetic neurons undergo apoptosis when deprived of nerve growth factor (NGF). Inhibitors of RNA or protein synthesis block this death, suggesting that gene expression is important for apoptosis in this system. We have identified SM-20 as a new gene that increases in expression in sympathetic neurons after NGF withdrawal. Expression of SM-20 also increases during neuronal death caused by cytosine arabinoside or the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002. In addition, SM-20 protein synthesis is elevated in NGF-deprived neurons compared with neurons maintained with NGF. Importantly, expression of SM-20 in sympathetic neurons causes cell death in the presence of NGF. These results suggest that SM-20 may function to regulate cell death in neurons. 相似文献
