Trypanosome trans-sialidase (TS) is a sialic acid-transferring enzyme and a novel ligand of tyrosine kinase (TrkA) receptors but not of neurotrophin receptor p75NTR. Here, we show that TS targets TrkB receptors on TrkB-expressing pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and colocalizes with TrkB receptor internalization and phosphorylation (pTrkB). Wild-type TS but not the catalytically inactive mutant TSDeltaAsp98-Glu induces pTrkB and mediates cell survival responses against death caused by oxidative stress in TrkA- and TrkB-expressing cells like those seen with nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These same effects are not observed in Trk deficient PC12(nnr5) cells, but are re-established in PC12(nnr5) cells stably transfected with TrkA or TrkB, are partially blocked by inhibitors of tyrosine kinase (K-252a), mitogen-activated protein/mitogen-activated kinase (PD98059) and completely blocked by LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Both TrkA- and TrkB-expressing cells pretreated with TS or their natural ligands are protected against cell death caused by serum/glucose deprivation or from hypoxia-induced neurite retraction. The cell survival effects of NGF and BDNF against oxidative stress are significantly inhibited by the neuraminidase inhibitor, Tamiflu. Together, these observations suggest that trypanosome TS mimics neurotrophic factors in cell survival responses against oxidative stress, hypoxia-induced neurite retraction and serum/glucose deprivation. 相似文献

A synthetic peptide containing loop 4 of nerve growth factor for targeted gene delivery 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Gene delivery vectors that restrict the expression of a therapeutic gene to a particular type of cells are critical to gene therapy in a complex structure, such as the central nervous system. We constructed a nonviral vector for targeted gene transfer to cells expressing nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor TrkA. METHODS AND RESULTS: The vector was a synthetic chimeric peptide composed of a targeting moiety derived from NGF loop 4 and a DNA-binding moiety of 10 lysine residues. The peptide activated signal transduction pathways of the NGF receptor TrkA in PC12 cells and supported the survival of the cells after serum deprivation. After forming complexes with plasmid DNA, the peptide dose-dependently increased reporter gene expression in PC12 cells, which could be inhibited by excess NGF. The peptide-mediated gene expression was not affected in PC12 cells by co-incubation with a blocking antibody against the low-affinity NGF receptor p75 and was significantly enhanced in NIH3T3 cells stably transfected with TrkA cDNA, suggesting the involvement of the high-affinity NGF receptor TrkA without the participation of p75. Moreover, the peptide did not assist gene transfer in TrkA-poor, but TrkB- and/or TrkC-positive primary cerebellar granule neurons and primary cortical glial cells. CONCLUSIONS: The chimeric peptide reported will be useful in gene delivery to and gene therapy of the nervous system and other tissues/organs with cells expressing TrkA. 相似文献

Abstract: The pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line was used as a model system to characterize the role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR ) and tyrosine kinase (Trk) A nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors on amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression and processing. NGF increased in a dose-dependent fashion neurite outgrowth, APP mRNA expression, and APP secretion with maximal effects at concentrations known to saturate TrkA receptor binding. Displacement of NGF binding to p75NTR by addition of an excess of brain-derived neurotrophic factor abolished NGF's effects on neurite outgrowth and APP metabolism, whereas addition of brain-derived neurotrophic factor alone did not induce neurite outgrowth or affect APP mRNA or protein processing. However, treatment of PC12 cells with C2-ceramide, an analogue of ceramide, the endogenous product produced by the activity of p75NTR -activated sphingomyelinase, mimicked the effects of NGF on cell morphology and stimulation of both APP mRNA levels and APP secretion. Specific stimulation of TrkA receptors by receptor cross-linking, on the other hand, selectively stimulated neurite outgrowth and APP secretion but not APP mRNA levels, which were decreased. These findings demonstrate that in PC12 cells expressing p75NTR and TrkA receptors, binding of NGF to the p75NTR is required to mediate NGF effects on cell morphology and APP metabolism. Furthermore, our data are consistent with NGF having specific effects on p75NTR not shared with other neurotrophins. Lastly, we have shown that specific activation of TrkA receptors—in contrast to p75NTR -associated signaling—stimulates neurite outgrowth and increases nonamyloidogenic secretory APP processing without increases in APP mRNA levels. 相似文献

v-Crk is a member of a class of SH2 and SH3-containing adaptor proteins that have been implicated in regulating the TrkA receptor tyrosine kinase and potentiating Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells (Hempstead et al, Mol. Cell Biol. 14: 1964 - 1971). Given the fact that NGF induces both differentiation and survival by binding to TrkA, we examined the rate of apoptotic cell death elicited by NGF-withdrawal in native, v-Crk, and TrkA-expressing PC12 cells. While more than 50% of native PC12 cells underwent apoptosis within 48 h of NGF withdrawal, the v-Crk and TrkA-expressing cells were much more resistant to apoptosis under these conditions, whereby approximately 70 and 95%, respectively, of the cells were alive. The ability of v-Crk to delay apoptosis required prior NGF-dependent differentiation, since naive undifferentiated v-Crk expressing PC12 cells or cells that express v-Crk mutants that are defective in NGF signaling were not protected from apoptosis during growth factor withdrawal. Moreover, addition of 50 ng/ml EGF to serum and NGF deprived v-Crk expressing cells, which also causes neurite outgrowth, promoted complete and long-term survival, although such EGF replacement had no neurotrophic effect on wild-type PC12 cells or PC12 cells overexpressing Human Bcl-2. These experiments suggest that v-Crk potentiation of a receptor tyrosine kinase under conditions of growth factor deprivation is essential for preventing apoptosis. However, unlike native PC12 cells, neither v-Crk or TrkA-expressing PC12 cells exhibited a G1 arrest when incubated for 2 weeks in NGF. Thus, v-Crk and TrkA may protect NGF deprived PC12 by preventing cell cycle arrest and hence an aborted entry into a defective cell cycle. Moreover, during NGF-withdrawal, v-CrkPC12 cells exhibited down regulation in MAP kinase and JNK activities while in native cells, these activities increased within 6 - 8 h after NGF deprivation. Thus, unlike v-Crk-mediated augmentation of differentiation, sustained activation of MAP kinase may not be required for v-Crk-induced cell survival. 相似文献

p75 neurotrophin receptor is required for constitutive and NGF-induced survival signalling in PC12 cells and rat hippocampal neurones 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have previously shown that nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappaB increased neuronal expression of Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein. In the present study we determined the role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor in constitutive and NGF-induced survival signalling. Treatment of rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells with a blocking anti-rat p75 antibody or inhibition of p75 expression by antisense oligonucleotides reduced constitutive and NGF-induced bcl-xL expression. Treatment with the blocking anti-p75 antibody also inhibited NGF-induced activation of the survival kinase Akt. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3 kinase) activity or overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of Akt kinase inhibited NGF-induced nuclear factor-kappaB activation. Activation of Akt kinase by NGF was also observed in PC12nnr5 cells and cultured rat hippocampal neurones which both lack significant TrkA expression. Treatment of hippocampal neurones with the blocking anti-p75 antibody inhibited constitutive and NGF-induced Bcl-xL expression, activation of Akt, and blocked the protective effect of NGF against excitotoxic and apoptotic injury. Our data suggest that the p75 neurotrophin receptor mediates constitutive and NGF-induced survival signalling in PC12 cells and hippocampal neurones, and that these effects are mediated via the PI3-kinase pathway. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes cell survival via binding to the tyrosine kinase receptor A (TrkA). Its precursor, proNGF, binds to p75(NTR) and sortilin receptors to initiate apoptosis. Current disagreement exists over whether proNGF acts neurotrophically following binding to TrkA. As in Alzheimer's disease the levels of proNGF increase and TrkA decrease, it is important to clarify the properties of proNGF. Here, wild-type and cleavage-resistant mutated forms (M) of proNGF were engineered and their binding characteristics determined. M-proNGF and NGF bound to p75(NTR) with similar affinities, whilst M-proNGF had a lower affinity than NGF for TrkA. M-proNGF behaved neurotrophically, albeit less effectively than NGF. M-proNGF addition resulted in phosphorylation of TrkA and ERK1/2, and in PC12 cells elicited neurite outgrowth and supported cell survival. Conversely, M-proNGF addition to cultured cortical neurons initiated caspase 3 cleavage. Importantly, these biological effects were shown to be mediated by unprocessed M-proNGF. Surprisingly, binding of the pro region alone to TrkA, at a site other than that of NGF, caused TrkA and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Our data show that M-proNGF stimulates TrkA to a lesser degree than NGF, suggesting that in Alzheimer brain the increased proNGF : NGF and p75(NTR) : TrkA ratios may permit apoptotic effects to predominate over neurotrophic effects. 相似文献

NGF activates the phosphorylation of MAP1B by GSK3beta through the TrkA receptor and not the p75(NTR) receptor 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have recently shown that nerve growth factor (NGF) induces the phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) by activating the serine/threonine kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta) in a spatio-temporal pattern in PC12 cells that correlates tightly with neurite growth. PC12 cells express two types of membrane receptor for NGF: TrkA receptors and p75NTR receptors, and it was not clear from our studies which receptor was responsible. We show here that brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which activates p75NTR but not TrkA receptors, does not stimulate GSK3beta phosphorylation of MAP1B in PC12 cells. Similarly, NGF fails to activate GSK3beta phosphorylation of MAP1B in PC12 cells that lack TrkA receptors but express p75NTR receptors (PC12 nnr). Chick ciliary ganglion neurons in culture lack TrkA receptors but express p75NTR and also fail to show NGF-dependent GSK3beta phosphorylation of MAP1B, whereas in rat superior cervical ganglion neurons in culture, NGF activation of TrkA receptors elicits GSK3beta phosphorylation of MAP1B. Finally, inhibition of TrkA receptor tyrosine kinase activity in PC12 cells and superior cervical ganglion neurons with K252a potently and dose-dependently inhibits neurite elongation while concomitantly blocking GSK3beta phosphorylation of MAP1B. These results suggest that the activation of GSK3beta by NGF is mediated through the TrkA tyrosine kinase receptor and not through p75NTR receptors. 相似文献

The neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), produced by neurons and glia, affects multiple processes in the brain, including neuronal survival and neurogenesis during development and in aging. We provide evidence that DHEA interacts with pro-survival TrkA and pro-death p75(NTR) membrane receptors of neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF), acting as a neurotrophic factor: (1) the anti-apoptotic effects of DHEA were reversed by siRNA against TrkA or by a specific TrkA inhibitor; (2) [(3)H]-DHEA binding assays showed that it bound to membranes isolated from HEK293 cells transfected with the cDNAs of TrkA and p75(NTR) receptors (K(D): 7.4 ± 1.75 nM and 5.6 ± 0.55 nM, respectively); (3) immobilized DHEA pulled down recombinant and naturally expressed TrkA and p75(NTR) receptors; (4) DHEA induced TrkA phosphorylation and NGF receptor-mediated signaling; Shc, Akt, and ERK1/2 kinases down-stream to TrkA receptors and TRAF6, RIP2, and RhoGDI interactors of p75(NTR) receptors; and (5) DHEA rescued from apoptosis TrkA receptor positive sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglia in NGF null embryos and compensated NGF in rescuing from apoptosis NGF receptor positive sympathetic neurons of embryonic superior cervical ganglia. Phylogenetic findings on the evolution of neurotrophins, their receptors, and CYP17, the enzyme responsible for DHEA biosynthesis, combined with our data support the hypothesis that DHEA served as a phylogenetically ancient neurotrophic factor. 相似文献

Degeneration of cholinergic basal forebrain neurons (CBFN) is a hallmark in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Critically depending upon the neurotrophic support through nerve growth factor (NGF), CBFN in the AD brain face elevated concentrations of the pro-form of NGF (proNGF) and suffer from an imbalance between TrkA and p75(NTR) expression. Research for the underlying mechanisms of CBFN death suggested a pro-apoptotic activity of proNGF. However, this finding could not be confirmed by all investigators and other studies even observed a neurotrophic function of proNGF. In the presence of these controversial findings we investigated the activity of proNGF in PC12 cells with specific emphasis on its neurotoxic versus neurotrophic action. In this study, we show that proNGF can mediate TrkA receptor signaling directly, yet in the manner of a partial agonist with a lower maximum activity than NGF. A pro-apoptotic activity of proNGF could not be confirmed in our cellular system. Interestingly and surprisingly, pre-incubation with proNGF at low, sub-active concentrations inhibited TrkA-mediated neurotrophic NGF signaling in PC12 cells. Our data support a novel hypothesis for the role of elevated proNGF levels in CBFN pathology in AD. Thus, proNGF can indirectly contribute to the slow neurodegeneration in AD by reducing NGF-mediated trophic support. 相似文献

A growing body of evidence indicates a close relationship between tyrosine kinase receptor trafficking and signaling. Biochemical and molecular analyses of the expression, fate, and kinetics of membrane trafficking of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor TrkA were performed in PC12 cells. Pulse-chase experiments indicate that TrkA is synthesized as a 110-kDa N-glycosylated precursor that leads to the mature 140-kDa form of the receptor with a half-life of conversion of approximately 24 +/- 0.5 min. Neuraminidase digestion shows that modification of the carbohydrate moiety of the receptor by sialylation occurs during maturation. The 140-kDa form is rapidly translocated to the cell surface as assessed by cell surface biotinylation performed on intact PC12 cells. Mature receptor half-life is approximately 138 +/- 4 min and is shortened to 86 +/- 8 min by NGF treatment. Flow cytometric analysis indicates that NGF induces clearing of this receptor from the cell surface within minutes of treatment. The addition of NGF decreases the half-life of cell surface gp140(TrkA) from 100 to 35 min and leads to enhanced lysosomal degradation of the receptor. The process of NGF-induced TrkA internalization is clearly affected by interfering with ligand binding to p75(NTR). An analysis of receptor activation kinetics also shows that receptor signaling primarily takes place from an intracellular location. Together, these data show that the primary effect of NGF treatment is a p75(NTR)-modulated decrease in TrkA transit time at the cell surface. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that apoptosis of endothelial cells contributes to lumen formation during angiogenesis, but the biological mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we investigated the effect of nerve growth factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family and a potential angiogenic factor, on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) apoptosis and the formation of lumen-like structures (LLS) by cultured HUVEC on Matrigel. We demonstrate that NGF induces cell apoptosis. NGF treatment has no significant effect on the expression level of its two receptors, TrkA and p75NTR. Blockade of both TrkA and p75NTR, but not that of either receptor alone significantly decreases NGF-induced cell apoptosis. NGF significantly increases formation of LLS which consist substantially of apoptotic cells. Application of NGF-neutralizing antibody or simultaneous blockade of TrkA and p75NTR significantly blocks spontaneous and NGF-induced LLS formation. These data support a role for NGF-induced cell apoptosis in LLS formation in vitro. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) binding to its receptors TrkA and p75(NTR) enhances the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of neurons. Recent studies have suggested that NGF receptor activation may occur in caveolae or caveolae-like membranes (CLM). This is an intriguing possibility because caveolae have been shown to contain many of the signaling intermediates in the TrkA signaling cascade. To examine the membrane localization of TrkA and p75(NTR), we isolated caveolae from 3T3-TrkA-p75 cells and CLM from PC12 cells. Immunoblot analysis showed that TrkA and p75(NTR) were enriched about 13- and 25-fold, respectively, in caveolae and CLM. Binding and cross-linking studies demonstrated that the NGF binding to both TrkA and p75(NTR) was considerably enriched in CLM and that about 90% of high affinity binding to TrkA was present in CLM. When PC12 cells were treated with NGF, virtually all activated (i.e. tyrosine phosphorylated) TrkA was found in the CLM. Remarkably, in NGF-treated cells, it was only in CLM that activated TrkA was coimmunoprecipitated with phosphorylated Shc and PLCgamma. These results document a signaling role for TrkA in CLM and suggest that both TrkA and p75(NTR) signaling are initiated from these membranes. 相似文献

The tuftelin protein isoforms undergo post‐translation modifications, and are ubiquitously expressed in various tissues in embryos, adults, and tumors. Developmental and pathological studies suggested an apparent correlation between oxygen deprivation and tuftelin expression. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the effect of a pathological insult (hypoxia) and a physiological growth factor (NGF), which antagonistically regulate HIF1 expression, on tuftelin expression using the neuronal PC12 cell model. In the present study, we first demonstrated the expression of tuftelin in PC12 cells, providing an experimental system to investigate the pathophysiological role of tuftelin. Furthermore, we demonstrated the induction of tuftelin during hypoxia by oxygen deprivation and during chemical hypoxia by cobalt chloride. Down‐regulation of HIF1α mRNA blocked hypoxia‐induced HIF1α expression, and reduced by 89% hypoxia‐induced tuftelin expression. In mice, intraperitoneal injection of cobalt chloride significantly induced tuftelin mRNA and protein expression in the brain. During NGF‐mediated PC12 differentiation, tuftelin expression was significantly induced in correlation with neurite outgrowth. This induction was partially blocked by K252a, a selective antagonist of the NGF receptor TrkA, indicating the involvement of the TrkA‐signaling pathways in tuftelin induction by NGF. Revealing the physiological role of tuftelin will clarify mechanisms related to the “hypoxic genome,” and NGF‐induced neurotrophic and angiogenic effects. J. Cell.

The role of the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75(NGFR)) in NGF-mediated signaling is not yet understood. Here we show by co-immunoprecipitation that NGF activates a protein kinase that is directly associated with p75(NGFR) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and PC12 cells in culture. Two proteins of 120 and 104 kDa constitute the majority of this activity. In PC12 cells, TrkA activation was necessary to elicit p75(NGFR)-associated kinase activity. Although NGF binding to p75(NGFR) was not necessary for kinase activation, it accelerated the activation of the kinase at low NGF concentrations. Deletion analysis showed that a 43 amino acid region in the cytoplasmic domain of p75(NGFR) was responsible for this effect. These findings show that p75(NGFR) accelerates TrkA-mediated signaling and, in addition, demonstrate that p75NGFR and TrkA collaborate to activate a previously undescribed p75(NGFR)-associated protein kinase. 相似文献

Abstract: Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to two distinct cell surface receptors, TrkA, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase, and p75NGFR , whose role in NGF-induced signal transduction remains unclear. We have found that human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells express TrkA, but p75NGFR expression was not detectable in these cells by northern blot analysis, immunoblotting, or chemical crosslinking experiments. Despite the lack of p75NGFR expression, subnanomolar concentrations of recombinant human NGF induced neurite outgrowth, tyrosine phosphorylation, and immediate early gene expression in these cells. These results strongly suggest that NGF-induced neuronal differentiation in IMR-32 cells is initiated through TrkA in the absence of p75NGFR . Thus, IMR-32 cells may provide a model for studying neurotrophic effects of NGF on adult striatal cholinergic neurons, which also lack p75NGFR expression. 相似文献

Nerve Growth Factor Protects PC12 Cells Against Peroxynitrite-Induced Apoptosis via a Mechanism Dependent on Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3

Abstract: Nerve growth factor (NGF) prevents apoptosis induced by the oxidant peroxynitrite in undifferentiated PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Previous studies have shown that activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) by NGF via the TrkA receptor tyrosine kinase protects PC12 cells from serum deprivation-induced apoptosis. We found that two PI 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, eliminated the protection NGF provided against peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis at concentrations consistent with their effectiveness as PI 3-kinase inhibitors. When the activity of PI 3-kinase was assayed in phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates after treatment of PC12 cells with peroxynitrite, PI 3-kinase activity was reduced by 50% of that detected in control cells, whereas PI 3-kinase activity in NGF-treated cells was unaffected by peroxynitrite. If an antibody against PI 3-kinase was used to immunoprecipitate the enzyme, treatment with peroxynitrite had no effect on activity. Therefore, peroxynitrite appeared to disrupt interactions between PI 3-kinase and phosphotyrosine proteins, rather than directly inhibiting the enzyme. NGF also activates p21Ras -dependent pathways, but this did not appear to be required for NGF to exert its protective effect against peroxynitrite. PC12 cells expressing a dominant inhibitory mutant of p21Ras were equally susceptible to peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis, which was prevented by NGF. Wortmannin was also able to block the protective effect of NGF in the p21Ras mutant cell line. Although many signaling pathways are activated by NGF, these results suggest that a PI 3-kinase-dependent pathway is important for inhibiting peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis. 相似文献
