Expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is increased following the nervous system injury. Generally IL-1β induces inflammation, leading to neural degeneration, while several neuropoietic effects have also been reported. Although neurite outgrowth is an important step in nerve regeneration, whether IL-1β takes advantages on it is unclear. Now we examine how it affects neurite outgrowth. Following sciatic nerve injury, expression of IL-1β is increased in Schwann cells around the site of injury, peaking 1 day after injury. In dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs), neurite outgrowth is inhibited by the addition of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), activating RhoA. IL-1β overcomes MAG-induced neurite outgrowth inhibition, by deactivating RhoA. Intracellular signaling experiments reveal that p38 MAPK, and not nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mediated this effect. These findings suggest that IL-1β may contribute to nerve regeneration by promoting neurite outgrowth following nerve injury. 相似文献

cAMP induces neurite outgrowth in the rat pheochromocytoma cell line 12 (PC12). In particular, di-butyric cAMP (db-cAMP) induces a greater number of primary processes with shorter length than the number induced by nerve growth factor (NGF). db-cAMP up- and down-regulates GTP-RhoA levels in PC12 cells in a time-dependent manner. Tat-C3 toxin stimulates neurite outgrowth, whereas lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and constitutively active (CA)-RhoA reduce neurite outgrowth, suggesting that RhoA inactivation is essential for the neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells stimulated by cAMP. In this study, the mechanism by which RhoA is inactivated in response to cAMP was examined. db-cAMP induces phosphorylation of RhoA and augments the binding of RhoA with Rho guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI). Moreover, RhoA (S188D) mimicking phosphorylated RhoA induces greater neurite outgrowth than RhoA (S188A) mimicking dephosphorylated form does. Additionally, db-cAMP increases GTP-Rap1 levels, and dominant negative (DN)-Rap1 and DN-Rap-dependent RhoGAP (ARAP3) block neurite outgrowth induced by db-cAMP. DN-p190RhoGAP and the Src inhibitor PP2 suppress neurite outgrowth, whereas transfection of c-Src and p190RhoGAP cDNAs synergistically stimulate neurite outgrowth. Taken together, RhoA is inactivated by phosphorylation of itself, by p190RhoGAP which is activated by Src, and by ARAP3 which is activated by Rap1 during neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells in response to db-cAMP. 相似文献

Background
Neurotrophins are important regulators for neural development and regeneration. Nerve growth factor (NGF) therapy has been tested in various models of neural injury and degeneration. However, whether NGF can reach target tissues and maintain effective concentration for a certain period of time remains uncertain. To facilitate neural regeneration, we investigate the possibility of combining NGF and electrical stimulation (ES) in promoting neurite outgrowth, an essential process during neural regeneration.Methods
PC12 cells were seeded on collagen and indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated area on the transparent conductive devices. Cells were then subjected to the combination of ES and NGF treatment. Neurite outgrowth was compared.Results
Our findings suggest that ES of 100 mV/mm together with NGF provides optimal effect on neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells. ES increases NGF-induced neurite length but reduces neurite branching, indicative of its primary effect on neurite elongation instead of initiation. One mechanism that ES enhances neurite outgrowth is through increasing NGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) and expression of Egr1 gene. ES has previously been demonstrated to increase the activity of protein kinase C (PKC). Our result indicates that activating PKC further increases NGF-induced pERK1/2 and thus neurite outgrowth.Conclusion
It is likely that ES promotes NGF-induced neurite outgrowth through modulating the activity of ERK1/2.General significance
Findings from this study suggest that combining ES and NGF provides a promising strategy for promoting neurite outgrowth. 相似文献6.
SIRT1, a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, is known to have neural functions. However, despite its cytoplasmic expression in some neural cells, its cytoplasmic function, if any, is unknown. Here we found that PC12 (pheochromocytoma) cells expressed SIRT1 in the cytoplasm. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth of these cells was promoted by activators of SIRT1, while inhibitors of SIRT1 or SIRT1-siRNA significantly inhibited it. The overexpression of a mutant SIRT1 that localised to the cytoplasm but not the nucleus enhanced the NGF-dependent neurite outgrowth, and a cytoplasmic dominant-negative SIRT1 suppressed it. Thus, cytoplasmic SIRT1 increases the NGF-induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells. 相似文献

Induction of neurites by the regulatory domains of PKCdelta and epsilon is counteracted by PKC catalytic activity and by the RhoA pathway 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have shown that protein kinase C (PKC) epsilon, independently of its kinase activity, via its regulatory domain (RD), induces neurites in neuroblastoma cells. This study was designed to evaluate whether the same effect is obtained in nonmalignant neural cells and to dissect mechanisms mediating the effect. Overexpression of PKCepsilon resulted in neurite induction in two immortalised neural cell lines (HiB5 and RN33B). Phorbol ester potentiated neurite outgrowth from PKCepsilon-overexpressing cells and led to neurite induction in cells overexpressing PKCdelta. The effects were potentiated by blocking the PKC catalytic activity with GF109203X. Furthermore, kinase-inactive PKCdelta induced more neurites than the wild-type isoform. The isolated regulatory domains of novel PKC isoforms also induced neurites. Experiments with PKCdelta-overexpressing HiB5 cells demonstrated that phorbol ester, even in the presence of a PKC inhibitor, led to a decrease in stress fibres, indicating an inactivation of RhoA. Active RhoA blocked PKC-induced neurite outgrowth, and inhibition of the RhoA effector ROCK led to neurite outgrowth. This demonstrates that neurite induction by the regulatory domain of PKCdelta can be counteracted by PKCdelta kinase activity, that PKC-induced neurite outgrowth is accompanied by stress fibre dismantling indicating an inactivation of RhoA, and that the RhoA pathway suppresses PKC-mediated neurite outgrowth. 相似文献

CKIP‐1 is an activator of the Smurf1 ubiquitin ligase acting to promote the ubiquitylation of Smad5 and MEKK2. The mechanisms involved in the recognition and degradation of these substrates by the proteasome remain unclear. Here, we show that CKIP‐1, through its leucine zipper, interacts directly with the Rpt6 ATPase of the 19S regulatory particle of the proteasome. CKIP‐1 mediates the Smurf1–Rpt6 interaction and delivers the ubiquitylated substrates to the proteasome. Depletion of CKIP‐1 reduces the degradation of Smurf1 and its substrates by Rpt6. These findings reveal an unexpected adaptor role of CKIP‐1 in coupling the ubiquitin ligase and the proteasome. 相似文献

Rac1 plays a key role in neurite outgrowth via reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The molecular mechanisms underlying Rac1-mediated actin dynamics in the cytosol and plasma membrane have been intensively studied, but the nuclear function of Rac1 in neurite outgrowth has not yet been addressed. Using subcellular fractionation and immunocytochemistry, we sought to explore the role of nuclear Rac1 in neurite outgrowth. bFGF, a strong agonist for neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, stimulated the nuclear accumulation of an active form of Rac1. Rac1-PBR (Q) mutant, in which six basic residues in the polybasic region at the C-terminus were replaced by glutamine, didn’t accumulate in the nucleus. In comparison with control cells, cells expressing this mutant form of Rac1 displayed a marked defect in extending neurites that was concomitant with reduced expression of MAP2 and MEK-1. These results suggest that Rac1 translocation to the nucleus functionally correlates with bFGF-induced neurite outgrowth. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(12): 617-622] 相似文献

Galectin-1 (GAL-1), a member of a family of β-galactoside binding animal lectins, is predominantly expressed in isolectin B4 (IB4)-binding small non-peptidergic (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-responsive) sensory neurons in the sections of adult rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG), but its functional role and the regulatory mechanisms of its expression in the peripheral nervous system remain unclear. In the present study, both recombinant nerve growth factor (NGF) and GDNF (50 ng/ml) promoted neurite outgrowth from cultured adult rat DRG neurons, whereas GDNF, but not NGF, significantly increased the number of IB4-binding neurons and the relative protein expression of GAL-1 in the neuron-enriched culture of DRG. The GAL-1 expression in immortalized adult rat Schwann cells IFRS1 and DRG neuron-IFRS1 cocultures was unaltered by treatment with GDNF, which suggests that GDNF/GAL-1 signaling axis is more related to neurite outgrowth, rather than neuron-Schwann cell interactions. The GDNF-induced neurite outgrowth and GAL-1 upregulation were attenuated by anti-GDNF family receptor (RET) antibody and phosphatidyl inositol-3′-phosphate-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002, suggesting that the neurite-outgrowth promoting activity of GDNF may be attributable, at least partially, to the upregulation of GAL-1 through RET-PI3K pathway. On the contrary, no significant differences were observed between GAL-1 knockout and wild-type mice in DRG neurite outgrowth in the presence or absence of GDNF. Considerable immunohistochemical colocalization of GAL-3 with GAL-1 in DRG sections and GDNF-induced upregulation of GAL-3 in cultured DRG neurons imply the functional redundancy between these galectins. 相似文献

Netrin-1 attracts or repels growing axons during development. The UNC5 receptors mediate the repulsive response, either alone or in complex with DCC receptors. The signaling mechanisms activated by UNC5 are poorly understood. Here, we examined the role of Rho GTPases in UNC5a signaling. We found that UNC5a induced neurite outgrowth in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells in a netrin-1- and Rac1-dependent manner. UNC5a lacking its cytoplasmic tail also mediated this effect. In fibroblasts, UNC5a was able to activate RhoA and to a lower extent Rac1 and Cdc42 in response to netrin-1. Using Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) intermolecular probes, we visualized the spatial and temporal activation of Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA in live N1E-115 cells expressing UNC5a during neurite outgrowth. We found that Rac1 but not Cdc42 was transiently activated at the leading edge of the cell during neurite initiation. However, at later times when well-developed neurites were formed, active RhoA was found in the cell body and at the base of the neuronal leading process in UNC5a-expressing cells. Together, these findings demonstrate that the netrin-1 receptor UNC5a is able to induce neurite outgrowth and to differentially activate RhoA and Rac1 during neurite extension in a spatial and temporal manner. 相似文献

Cullin-Ring ubiquitin ligases regulate protein turnover by promoting the ubiquitination of substrate proteins, targeting them for proteasomal degradation. It has been shown previously that mutations in Cullin3 (Cul3) causing deletion of 57 amino acids encoded by exon 9 (Cul3Δ9) cause hypertension. Moreover, RhoA activity contributes to vascular constriction and hypertension. We show that ubiquitination and degradation of RhoA is dependent on Cul3 in HEK293T cells in which Cul3 expression is ablated by either siRNA or by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. The latter was used to generate a Cul3-null cell line (HEK293TCul3KO). When expressed in these cells, Cul3Δ9 supported reduced ubiquitin ligase activity toward RhoA compared with equivalent levels of wild-type Cul3 (Cul3WT). Consistent with its reduced activity, binding of Cul3Δ9 to the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rbx1 and neddylation of Cul3Δ9 were impaired significantly compared with Cul3WT. Conversely, Cul3Δ9 bound to substrate adaptor proteins more efficiently than Cul3WT. Cul3Δ9 also forms unstable dimers with Cul3WT, disrupting dimers of Cul3WT complexes that are required for efficient ubiquitination of some substrates. Indeed, coexpression of Cul3WT and Cul3Δ9 in HEK293TCul3KO cells resulted in a decrease in the active form of Cul3WT. We conclude that Cul3Δ9-associated ubiquitin ligase activity toward RhoA is impaired and suggest that Cul3Δ9 mutations may act dominantly by sequestering substrate adaptors and disrupting Cul3WT complexes. 相似文献

The cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth-promoting function of acetylcholinesterase has been localised to the area of the peripheral anionic site. In order to precisely determine the site involved, we used synthetic peptides representing sequences of the peripheral anionic site and its surrounds, and investigated their binding to a panel of monoclonal antibodies that inhibit cell adhesion/neurite outgrowth and/or to recognise the peripheral anionic site. Binding to laminin-1 and collagen IV was also investigated. A relationship between recognition of the sequence 37-50, representing a surface loop adjacent to the peripheral anionic site, and the degree of inhibition of cell adhesion was observed; both laminin-1 and collagen IV also bound this loop with high affinity. Neurite outgrowth on coverslips coated with this peptide was similar to those coated with acetylcholinesterase itself. Adhesion-inhibiting antibodies also recognised the omega loop 69-96, as did laminin-1 and collagen IV. Laminin also bound the sequences 55-66 and 340-353, recognised by the antibodies to varying degrees, but collagen did not. All these peptides were able to promote neurite outgrowth to some degree. No binding to the amyloid-binding omega loop 275-304 by the ligands was observed, nor did the antibodies recognise this consistently. No relationship was observed between the degree of inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and inhibition of neurite outgrowth by the antibodies from which we conclude that the neurite outgrowth function is non-cholinergic. In conclusion, we have identified a specific conformational structure on acetylcholinesterase, comprising adjacent surface loops between residues 37-50 and 69-96, with additional involvement of the sequences 55-66 and 340-353, that mediates cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that phospholipase D (PLD) expression and PLD activity are upregulated during neuronal differentiation. In the present study, employing neural stem cells from the brain cortex of E14 rat embryos, we investigated the role of Rho family GTPases in PLD activation and in neurite outgrowth of neural stem cells during differentiation. As neuronal differentiation progressed, the expression levels of Cdc42 and RhoA increased. Furthermore, Cdc42 and PLD1 were mainly localized in neurite, whereas RhoA was localized in cytosol. Co-immunoprecipitation revealed that Cdc42 was bound to PLD1 during differentiation, whereas RhoA was associated with PLD1 during both proliferation and differentiation. These results indicate that the association between Cdc42 and PLD1 is related to neuronal differentiation. To examine the effect of Cdc42 on PLD activation and neurite outgrowth, we transfected dominant negative Cdc42 (Cdc42N17) and constitutively active Cdc42 (Cdc42V12) into neural stem cells, respectively. Overexpression of Cdc42N17 decreased both PLD activity and neurite outgrowth, whereas co-transfection with Cdc42N17 and PLD1 restored them. On the other hand, Cdc42V12 increased both PLD activity and neurite outgrowth, suggesting that active state of Cdc42 is important in upregulation of PLD activity which is responsible for the increase of neurite outgrowth. 相似文献

The neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells on collagen-coated glass plates under light emitting diode (LED) irradiation at several
wavelengths (i.e., 455, 470, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm) was investigated. No neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation
under irradiation from the lamp of an inverted light microscope through filters (yielding mixed light at ca. 525 nm and more
than 800 nm), whereas neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation in the dark. When these cells were irradiated with
monochromatic LED light, neurite outgrowth was slightly, but not completely, suppressed at 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm,
as was observed in the case of mixed light. Long connected neuronal outgrowths (e.g., 3 mm length) were observed with LED
light at 470 nm and 1.8 mW/cm2 intensity. No such outgrowths were observed at other LED light wavelengths (i.e., 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm). Irradiation
at 470 nm may have caused specific responses to transductional signals in these cells that led to the connection of neuronal
outgrowths between cells. Not only suppressed neurite outgrowth but also long connected neurite outgrowths were observed when
PC12 cells were cultured under several different wavelengths of light. 相似文献

Employing neural stem cells from the brain cortex of E12 rat embryos, we investigated the possible role of phospholipase D (PLD) in the synaptogenesis and neurite formation of neural cells during differentiation. Expression level of PLD1 increased during neuronal differentiation of the neural stem cells, resulting in increased PLD activity. Expression level of synapsin I, a marker of synaptogenesis, also increased as the differentiation of neural stem cells progressed. To figure out the effect of PLD on synapsin I expression, we treated the neural stem cells with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to stimulate PLD activity. Increased PLD activity induced by PMA treatment resulted in elevated synapsin I expression and neurite outgrowth during neuronal differentiation. To further confirm the role of PLD in neurite outgrowth, we transfected the dominant-negative form of rat PLD1 cDNA (DN-rPLD1) into neural stem cells to downregulate PLD activity. Overexpression of DN-rPLD1 showed the complete inhibition of neurite outgrowth of neural stem cells under differentiation condition. While transfection of DN-rPLD1 did not affect the synapsin I expression, overexpression of rPLD1 resulted in increased synapsin I expression of the neural cells. These results suggest that PLD1 plays a critical role in neurite outgrowth during differentiation of the neural stem cells. In conclusion, this is the first evidence to show that PLD1 acts as an important regulator of neurite outgrowth in neural stem cell by promoting neuronal differentiation via increase of synapsin I expression. 相似文献
