ATF5 loss of function has been shown previously to cause apoptotic cell death in glioblastoma and breast cancer cells but not in non-transformed astrocytes and human breast epithelial cells. The mechanism for the cell type-dependent survival function of ATF5 is unknown. We report here that the anti-apoptotic factor BCL-2 is a downstream target of ATF5 that mediates the prosurvival function of ATF5 in C6 glioma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. ATF5 binds to an ATF5-specific regulatory element that is downstream of and adjacent to the negative regulatory element in the BCL-2 P2 promoter, stimulating BCL-2 expression. Highlighting the critical role of BCL-2 in ATF5-dependent cancer cell survival, expression of BCL-2 blocks death of C6 and MCF-7 cells induced by dominant-negative ATF5, and depletion of BCL-2 impairs ATF5-promoted cell survival. Moreover, we found that BCL-2 expression is not regulated by ATF5 in non-transformed rat astrocytes, mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and human breast epithelial cells, where expression of BCL-2 but not ATF5 is required for cell survival. These findings identify BCL-2 as an essential mediator for the cancer-specific cell survival function of ATF5 in glioblastoma and breast cancer cells and provide direct evidence that the cell type-specific function of ATF5 derives from differential regulation of downstream targets by ATF5 in different types of cells. 相似文献

Transducin-like enhancer of split-1 (TLE1) plays a critical role in the regulation of neurogenesis by inhibiting the differentiation of neural progenitor cells into neurons. Although TLE1 is also expressed highly in the postnatal brain and through adulthood, its role in postmitotic neurons is not clear. Using cultures of cerebellar granule neurons, we show that expression of TLE1 is reduced in neurons primed to die. Reestablishment of elevated TLE1 levels by ectopic expression protects neurons from death, whereas suppression of TLE1 expression in otherwise healthy neurons induces cell death. These results show that TLE1 is necessary for the maintenance of neuronal survival. Experiments using pharmacological inhibitors as well as expression of point mutants indicate that phosphorylation of TLE1 by casein kinase-2 (CK2) at Ser-239 and Ser-253 is necessary for its survival-promoting activity. TLE1-mediated survival is also inhibited by pharmacological inhibition of PI3K-Akt signaling but not by inhibitors of Raf-MEK-ERK signaling or other molecules, including histone deacetylases, calcium calmodulin kinase, or CK1. The survival-promoting activity of TLE1 depends critically on interaction with FoxG1, another protein involved in the regulation of neurogenesis and shown previously to promote survival of postmitotic neurons. Likewise, the ability of FoxG1 to promote neuronal survival depends on TLE1. Taken together, our study demonstrates that TLE1 cooperates with FoxG1 to promote neuronal survival in a CK2- and PI3K-Akt-dependent manner. 相似文献

Genomic organization, chromosomal localization and regulation of expression of the neuronal nuclear matrix protein NRP/B in human brain tumors 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The nuclear matrix and its role in cell physiology are largely unknown, and the discovery of any matrix constituent whose expression is tissue- and/or cell-specific offers a new avenue of exploration. Studies of the novel neuronal nuclear matrix protein, NRP/B, reveal that it is an early and highly specific marker of neuronal induction and development in vertebrates, since its expression is restricted mainly to the developing and mature nervous system. These studies also show that NRP/B is involved in neuronal differentiation. To further examine the structure-function of NRP/B, we have cloned and characterized the murine Nrp/b gene. The murine gene consists of four exons interrupted by three introns that span 7.6kb of DNA. The complete open reading frame is localized in exon 3, suggesting that NRP/B is highly conserved during evolution. Chromosomal analysis shows that NRP/B is localized to chromosome 13 in mouse and chromosome 5q12-13 in human.Since our previous studies demonstrated that NRP/B is expressed in primary hippocampal neurons but not in primary astrocytes, we have characterized NRP/B mRNA and protein expression in various brain cell lines and in human brain tumors. Abundant expression of NRP/B mRNA and protein was observed in human neuroblastoma cell lines (IMR32, SKN-MC, SKN-SH), in glioblastoma cell lines (A172, T98G, U87-MG, U118-MG, U138-MG, and U373-MG), in neuroglioma (H4) and astrocytoma cell lines (CCF-STTG1 and SW1088). Confocal analysis of NRP/B in U87-MG glioblastoma cells indicated nuclear localization of NRP/B. NRP/B expression was also observed in human primary brain tumors including glioblastoma multiformae and astrocytomas (total of five cases). These results suggest that NRP/B expression is upregulated in human brain tumors including glioblastomas and astrocytomas, while under normal conditions NRP/B expression is restricted to neurons. This study implicates a role for NRP/B in brain tumor development. 相似文献

The P19 embryonal carcinoma cell line represents a pluripotential stem cell that can differentiate along the neural or muscle cell lineage when exposed to different environments. Exposure to retinoic acid induces P19 cells to differentiate into neurons and astrocytes that express similar developmental markers as their embryonic counterparts. We examined the expression of gap junction genes during differentiation of these stem cells into neurons and astrocytes. Untreated P19 cells express at least two gap junction proteins, connexins 26 and 43. Connexin32 could not be detected in these cells. Treatment for 96 hr with 0.3 mM retinoic acid induced the P19 cells to differentiate first into neurons followed by astrocytes. Retinoic acid produced a decrease in connexin43 mRNA, protein, and functional gap junctions. Connexin26 message was not affected by retinoic acid treatment. The neurons that developed consisted of small round cell bodies extending two to three neurites and expressed MAP2. Connexin26 was detected at sites of cell–cell and cell–neurite contact within 3 days following differentiation with retinoic acid. The astrocytes were examined for production of their intermediate filament marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). GFAP was first detected at 8 days by Western blotting. In culture, astrocytes co-expressed GFAP and connexin43 similar to primary cultures of mouse brain astrocytes. These results suggest that differentiation of neurons and glial cells involves specific connexin expression in each cell type. The P19 cell line will provide a valuable model with which to examine the role gap junctions play during differentiation events of developing neurons and astrocytes. Dev.

Summary We have established a multipotent clonal cell line, named MEB5, from embryonic mouse forebrains after the infection of a retrovirus
carrying E7 oncogene of human papillomavirus type 16. MEB5 cells proliferated in serum-free, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-supplemented
medium. They expressed markers for neural precursor cells (nestin, A2B5, and RC1) and did not express markers for neurons
(class III β-tubulin), astrocytes (glial fibrillary acidic protein), and oligodendrocytes (galactocerebroside). MEB5 cells
were stably maintained in an undifferentiated state with a diploid karyotype in the presence of EGF. When they were deprived
of EGF, about 50% of the cells died due apoptosis within 24 h. The remaining cells differentiated into neurons, astrocytes,
or oligodendrocytes within 2 wk. The newly developed cells with neuronal morphology were immunoreactive for γ-aminobutyric
acid and exhibited neuronal electrophysiological properties. When MEB5 cells were treated with leukemia inhibitory for 7 d,
they were induced to differentiate exclusively into astrocytes. These results inducate that MEB5 is a cell line with characteristics
of EGF-dependent, multipotent neural precursor cells. This cell line should provide a good model system to study the mechanisms
of survival, proliferation, and differentiation of the multipotent precursor cells in the central nervous system. 相似文献

In the adult songbird forebrain, neurons continue to be produced from precursor cells in the forebrain ependymal/subependymal zone (SZ), from which they migrate upon radial guide fibers. The new neurons and their radial cell partners may coderive from a common SZ progenitor, which may be the radial cell itself. On this basis, we asked whether radial cells might provide trophic support for the migration or survival of newly generated neurons. We focused upon the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) IGF-1 and IGF-2, which have previously been shown to support the survival and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. We found that IGF-1 immunoreactivity was expressed heavily by adult zebra finch radial cells and their fibers, with little expression otherwise. IGF-2, in contrast, was expressed by parenchymal astrocytes and exhibited little radial cell expression. Despite their distinct distributions, IGF-1 and IGF-2 exerted similar trophic effects on finch SZ cells in vitro; both greatly increased the number of neurons migrating from explants of the adult finch SZ, relative to explants raised in low-insulin, IGF-1-deficient media. However, neither factor extended neuronal survival. These results suggest that in neurogenic regions of the adult avian forebrain, IGF-1 acts as a radial cell-associated neuronal differentiation and/or departure factor, which may serve to regulate neuronal recruitment into the adult brain. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Large-scale proliferation and multi-lineage differentiation capabilities make neural stem cells (NSCs) a promising renewable source of cells for therapeutic applications. However, the practical application for neuronal cell replacement is limited by heterogeneity of NSC progeny, relatively low yield of neurons, predominance of astrocytes, poor survival of donor cells following transplantation and the potential for uncontrolled proliferation of precursor cells. To address these impediments, we have developed a method for the generation of highly enriched immature neurons from murine NSC progeny. Adaptation of the standard differentiation procedure in concert with flow cytometry selection, using scattered light and positive fluorescent light selection based on cell surface antibody binding, provided a near pure (97%) immature neuron population. Using the purified neurons, we screened a panel of growth factors and found that bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) demonstrated a strong survival effect on the cells in vitro, and enhanced their functional maturity. This effect was maintained following transplantation into the adult mouse striatum where we observed a 2-fold increase in the survival of the implanted cells and a 3-fold increase in NeuN expression. Additionally, based on the neural-colony forming cell assay (N-CFCA), we noted a 64 fold reduction of the bona fide NSC frequency in neuronal cell population and that implanted donor cells showed no signs of excessive or uncontrolled proliferation. The ability to provide defined neural cell populations from renewable sources such as NSC may find application for cell replacement therapies in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Localization, characterization and function of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide during brain development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Neural development is controlled by region-specific factors that regulate cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide that exerts a wide range of effects on different cell types in the brain as early as the fetal stage. Here we review current knowledge concerning several aspects of PACAP expression in embryonic and neonatal neural tissue: (i) the distribution of PACAP and PACAP receptors mRNA in the developing brain; (ii) the characteristic generation of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in brain areas where the PACAP receptor is expressed and (iii) the role of PACAP as a regulator of neural development, inducing differentiation and proliferation in association with other trophic factors or signal transduction molecules. 相似文献

Phospholipase D (PLD) activity in mammalian cells has been associated with cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we investigated the expression of PLD during differentiation of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cells (P19) into astrocytes and neurons. Retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiation increased PLD1 and PLD2 mRNA levels and PLD activity that was responsive to phorbol myristate acetate. Various agonists of membrane receptors activated PLD in RA-differentiated cells. Glutamate was a potent activator of PLD in neurons but not in astrocytes, whereas noradrenaline and carbachol increased PLD activity only in astrocytes. P19 neurons but not astrocytes released glutamate in response to a depolarizing stimulus, confirming the glutamatergic phenotype of these neurons. These results indicate upregulation of PLD gene expression associated with RA-induced neural differentiation. 相似文献

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican-1, the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan
phosphacan/RPTP (receptor protein-tyrosine
phosphatase)-ζ/β and the extracellular matrix protein
tenascin-C were all found to be expressed by neural stem cells and by neural
cells derived from them. Expression of proteoglycans and tenascin-C increased
after retinoic acid induction of SSEA1-positive ES (embryonic stem) cells to
nestin-positive neural stem cells, and after neural differentiation,
proteoglycans and tenascin-C are expressed by both neurons and astrocytes, where
they surround cell bodies and processes and in certain cases show distinctive
expression patterns. With the exception of tenascin-C (whose expression may
decrease somewhat), expression levels do not change noticeably during the
following 2 weeks in culture. The significant expression, by neural stem cells
and neurons and astrocytes derived from them, of two major heparan sulfate and
chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans of nervous tissue and of tenascin-C, a
high-affinity ligand of phosphacan/RPTP-ζ/β, indicates
that an understanding of their specific functional roles in stem cell
neurobiology will be important for the therapeutic application of this new
technology in facilitating nervous tissue repair and regeneration. 相似文献

Gliomas, the most frequent tumors originating in the human nervous system, are divided into various subtypes. Currently, microscopic examination alone is insufficient for classification and grading so that genetic profiles are increasingly being emphasized in recognition of the emerging role of molecular diagnostic approaches to glioma classification. Glioblastomas (WHO grade IV) may develop de novo (primary glioblastomas) or through progression from lower-grade astrocytomas (secondary glioblastomas), while both glioblastomas show similar histological features. In contrast, they do constitute distinct disease entities that evolve through different genetic pathways, and are likely to differ in prognosis and response to therapy. Oligodendrogliomas (WHO grade II) account for 2.7% of brain tumors and 5-18% of all gliomas. Since this tumor is recognized as a particular subtype of glioma that shows remarkable responses to chemotherapy, a correct diagnosis is of prime importance. The difficulty is that histological differentiation of oligodendrogliomas from diffuse astrocytomas is highly subjective in cases without typical morphological features and there is a lack of reliable immunohistochemical markers. While histological distinction of low-grade gliomas from reactive astrocytes is also often difficult, reactive astrocytes usually lack genetic alterations. More biological and molecular approaches to glioma classification thus appear warranted to provide improved means to achieve correct diagnoses. 相似文献

Ionizing radiation alone or in combination with chemotherapy is the main treatment modality for brain tumors including glioblastoma. Adult neurons and astrocytes demonstrate substantial radioresistance; in contrast, human neural stem cells (NSC) are highly sensitive to radiation via induction of apoptosis. Irradiation of tumor cells has the potential risk of affecting the viability and function of NSC. In this study, we have evaluated the effects of irradiated glioblastoma cells on viability, proliferation and differentiation potential of non-irradiated (bystander) NSC through radiation-induced signaling cascades. Using media transfer experiments, we demonstrated significant effects of the U87MG glioblastoma secretome after gamma-irradiation on apoptosis in non-irradiated NSC. Addition of anti-TRAIL antibody to the transferred media partially suppressed apoptosis in NSC. Furthermore, we observed a dramatic increase in the production and secretion of IL8, TGFβ1 and IL6 by irradiated glioblastoma cells, which could promote glioblastoma cell survival and modify the effects of death factors in bystander NSC. While differentiation of NSC into neurons and astrocytes occurred efficiently with the corresponding differentiation media, pretreatment of NSC for 8 h with medium from irradiated glioblastoma cells selectively suppressed the differentiation of NSC into neurons, but not into astrocytes. Exogenous IL8 and TGFβ1 increased NSC/NPC survival, but also suppressed neuronal differentiation. On the other hand, IL6 was known to positively affect survival and differentiation of astrocyte progenitors. We established a U87MG neurosphere culture that was substantially enriched by SOX2+ and CD133+ glioma stem-like cells (GSC). Gamma-irradiation up-regulated apoptotic death in GSC via the FasL/Fas pathway. Media transfer experiments from irradiated GSC to non-targeted NSC again demonstrated induction of apoptosis and suppression of neuronal differentiation of NSC. In summary, intercellular communication between glioblastoma cells and bystander NSC/NPC could be involved in the amplification of cancer pathology in the brain. 相似文献

Borna disease virus infection of neonatal rats results in a characteristic behavioral syndrome and apoptosis of subsets of neurons in the hippocampus and cerebellum (neonatal Borna disease [NBD]). The cellular mechanisms leading to neurodevelopmental damage in NBD have not been fully elucidated. Insights into this model may have general implications for understanding the pathogenesis of virus-associated neurodevelopmental damage. Here we report the presence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers and activation of the unfolded protein response in the NBD hippocampus and cerebellum. Specific findings included enhanced PERK-mediated phosphorylation of eif2alpha and concomitant regulation of ATF4 translation; IRE1-mediated splicing of XBP1 mRNA; and cleavage of the ATF6 protein in NBD rat brains. We found evidence for regional and cell type-specific divergence in the expression of ER stress-induced proapoptotic and quality control signals. Our results demonstrate that ER stress induction in death-susceptible Purkinje neurons in NBD is associated with the expression of the proapoptotic molecule CHOP in the absence of compensatory expression of the ER quality control molecules Bip and protein disulfide isomerase. In contrast, ER stress in death-resistant astrocytes is associated with complementary expression of CHOP and ER quality control signals. These results implicate an imbalance between ER stress-mediated apoptosis and survival signaling as a critical determinant of neural cell fate in NBD. 相似文献

Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumors of adults with poor clinical outcome. Despite a broad range of new and more specific treatment strategies, therapy of glioblastomas remains challenging and tumors relapse in all cases. Recent work demonstrated that the posttranslational hypusine modification of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A) is a crucial regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation and an important factor in tumor formation, progression and maintenance. Here we report that eIF-5A as well as the hypusine-forming enzymes deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are highly overexpressed in glioblastoma patient samples. Importantly, targeting eIF-5A and its hypusine modification with GC7, a specific DHS-inhibitor, showed a strong antiproliferative effect in glioblastoma cell lines in vitro, while normal human astrocytes were not affected. Furthermore, we identified p53 dependent premature senescence, a permanent cell cycle arrest, as the primary outcome in U87-MG cells after treatment with GC7. Strikingly, combined treatment with clinically relevant alkylating agents and GC7 had an additive antiproliferative effect in glioblastoma cell lines. In addition, stable knockdown of eIF-5A and DHS by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) could mimic the antiproliferative effects of GC7. These findings suggest that pharmacological inhibition of eIF-5A may represent a novel concept to treat glioblastomas and may help to substantially improve the clinical course of this tumor entity. 相似文献
