A growing body of evidence suggests that neurotrophins (NTs) play a critical role in synaptic plasticity and other activity dependent processes in the CNS. Release of these growth factors by neurons and neuroendocrine cells was recently shown to occur via the regulated secretory pathway, representing a possible mechanism for preferentially supplying NTs locally to active synapses. However, the identity and characteristics of the intracellular storage compartment for NTs undergoing stimulus-coupled secretion remains controversial. As a step towards addressing these issues we have investigated the subcellular localization of epitope-tagged nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in neuroendocrine cells. Placement of the myc-epitope tag at the neurotrophin carboxy terminus did not affect essential properties of the NTs such as their ability to induce Trk tyrosine phosphorylation or their sorting into the regulated secretory pathway in PC12 and AtT-20 neuroendocrine cells. Epitope-tagged NTs colocalize with dense core vesicle (DCV)-markers at the light microscopic level in both cell lines investigated. Furthermore, at an EM level immunoreactivity (IR) for myc-tagged NGF was found over dense core granules (DCGs) in PC12 cells. These data provide evidence that NTs can be stored in DCVs in neuronal model cell lines and, potentially, in neurons as well. J. Neurosci. Res. 51:463–472, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Neurotrophins regulate the proliferation and differentiation of neurons in the central nervous system via a family of specialized
receptors, including TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC. As little is known about their expression or potential role in human glial tissues
and glial tumors, we undertook an immunohistochemical analysis of human glia, glioma tissues and cell cultures of glial tumors
to characterize the expression of Trk family members (full-length TrkA, TrkB, the truncated form of TrkB, and TrkC). In normal
human brain Trk A, B, and C immunoreactivity was found in neurons and some weak staining was also seen astrocytes. No Trk
expression was seen on oligodendrocytes. Strong reactivity was seen in reactive astrocytes in a glial scar. In a total of
34 glioma tissue specimens, which included 16 astrocytic tumors (4 low-grade astrocytomas and 12 glioblastomas multiforme)
and 15 oligodendrogliomas (8 low-grade and 7 anaplastic) as well as 3 oligoastrocytomas (WHO grade II), TrkA, B, and C immunoreactivity
was observed exclusively in specimens from astrocytic gliomas (16/16), but not in any of the oligodendrocytic gliomas (0/15).
In the oligoastrocytomas, staining was restricted to the astrocytic component. In the astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma specimens,
Trk A, B, and C immunoreactivity was also seen in the surrounding reactive astrocytes. Trk expression was independent of age,
sex or histological grade of the investigated tumors. In six primary cell cultures, one derived from human astrocytes and
five established from malignant astrocytomas, only TrkA immunoreactivity could be detected, while TrkB (both full-length and
truncated isoforms) and TrkC were absent. The TrkA expression in primary cell cultures decreased with continuous cell passaging,
and no Trk could be detected in established cell lines derived from glioblastoma. In conclusion, our data suggest that in
human glial tissues Trk A, B, and C may be expressed in a lineage-restricted manner, thereby distinguishing between astrocytes
and oligodendrocytes in a marker-like fashion. Trk expression, like GFAP expression appears to be increased in activated (reactive)/
neoplastic astrocytes.

Elevated levels of neurotrophins in human biceps brachii tissue of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Previous studies suggest that neurotrophins support regeneration and survival of injured motoneurons. Based on these findings, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been clinically investigated for its therapeutic potential in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rapidly progressing and fatal motoneuronal disease. We questioned whether imbalances of neurotrophic levels are indeed involved in the pathology of ALS. Therefore the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF), BDNF, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5) was investigated in postmortem muscle tissue of the biceps from 15 patients with neuropathologically confirmed sporadic ALS and 15 age-matched controls. Using mRNA analysis techniques and quantitative protein measurements, we have demonstrated that both mRNA and protein levels of all four neurotrophins are increased in muscle tissue of ALS patients. The production levels displayed a disease duration dependency and different expression patterns emerged for the four neurotrophins. Whereas the early phase of the disease was characterized by a strong upregulation of BDNF, levels of NGF, NT-3, and NT-4/5 gradually increased in the course of the disorder, peaking at later stages. We conclude that decreased neurotrophic support from muscle tissue is most likely not the cause of motoneuron degeneration in ALS. On the contrary, our results suggest that degenerating motoneurons in ALS are exposed to elevated levels of muscle-derived neurotrophins. 相似文献

The members of the neurotrophin family play key biological roles in the development of the nervous system. Based on studies initially in cell lines (e.g., the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells), neurotrophins have been found to be important mediators of proliferation, differentiation, and survival in the normal brain, but their role in brain tumors remains unclear. Since neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors are frequently detected in biopsy samples of central nervous system medulloblastomas, efforts have been undertaken in several laboratories to elucidate the potential effects of neurotrophins on the growth and differentiation of these tumors. Results from these studies may have both basic and clinical implications because medulloblastomas resemble embryonic neuroectodermal stem cells and/or their immature neuronal and glial progeny. This review focuses on recent developments in our understanding of the role of neurotrophins in medulloblastomas, especially the ability of nerve growth factor to induce apoptosis in vitro in medulloblastomas.

Apo2L/TRAIL-based therapy is a promising experimental approach to the treatment of human malignant gliomas. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble decoy receptor for Apo2L/TRAIL that antagonizes Apo2L/TRAIL-induced apoptosis. High levels of OPG expressed by tumor cells might therefore abrogate the activity of exogenously added or adenovirally expessed Apo2L/TRAIL. Here we assessed the expression of OPG in human gliomas in vivo, in primary glioma cell cultures and in established glioma cell lines. Immunohistochemistry revealed weak OPG immunoreactivity in up to 5% of the tumor cells in 8 of 13 glioblastomas. Strong OPG labeling was detected in single scattered tumor cells in one of these specimens. Five glioblastomas did not express OPG. High OPG expression was found in 1 of 6 primary glioma cell cultures and in 1 of 12 established glioma cell lines, T98G. OPG released by T98G cells was biologically active in that it inhibited Apo2L/TRAIL-induced apoptosis in sensitive glioma cells. Altogether, however, these data suggest that OPG expression may not be a major pathway of glioma cell resistance to future Apo2L/TRAIL-based therapeutic approaches. 相似文献

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a significant impact on quality of life, expectancy, and economic burden, with considerable costs associated with primary care and loss of income. The complex pathophysiology of SCI may explain the difficulty in finding a suitable therapy for limiting neuronal injury and promoting regeneration. Although innovative medical care, advances in pharmacotherapy have been limited. The aim of the present study was to carefully investigate molecular pathways and subtypes of glial cells involved in the protective effect of PEA on inflammatory reaction associated with an experimental model of SCI.The compression model induced by applying an aneurysm clip to the spinal cord in mice is closer to the human situation, since it replicates the persistence of cord compression. Spinal cord trauma was induced in mice by the application of vascular clips to the dura via a four-level T5-T8 laminectomy.Repeated PEA administration (10 mg/kg i.p., 6 and 12 h after SCI) significantly reduced the degree of the severity of spinal cord trauma through the reduction of mast cell infiltration and activation. Moreover, PEA treatment significantly reduced the activation of microglia and astrocytes expressing cannabinoid CB2 receptor after SCI. Importantly, the protective effect of PEA involved changes in the expression of neurotrophic factors, and in spinal cord dopaminergic function.Our results enhance our understanding about mechanisms related to the anti-inflammatory property of the PEA suggesting that this N-acylethanolamine may represent a crucial therapeutic intervention both diminishing the immune/inflammatory response and promoting the initiation of neurotrophic substance after SCI. 相似文献

Neurospheres are clonal cellular aggregates of neural stem/precursor cells that grow in culture as free-floating clusters. Activation of CB1 cannabinoid receptors, which are expressed by these cells, promotes proliferation. In the present study we investigated the expression of CB2 cannabinoid receptors and the effect of exogenous cannabinoids on neural stem/precursor cell proliferation. Neurospheres containing nestin-positive and sn-1 diacylglycerol lipase alpha-positive cells expressed both CB1 and CB2 receptors, which were maintained through several passages. Application of the non-selective cannabinoid agonist (HU-210, 0.5 microM) stimulated bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and neurosphere formation. This action involved both CB1 and CB2 receptors as neurosphere formation was stimulated by either selective CB1 [arachidonyl-2'chloroethylamide/(all Z)-N-(2-cycloethyl)-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenamide (ACEA), 200 nM and 1 microM] or CB2 (JWH-056, 0.5 microM) agonists. In addition, CB1 or CB2 antagonists (1 microM SR-141716A and SR-144528, respectively) blocked basal proliferation, suggesting that endogenous cannabinoids are implicated in neurosphere proliferation. In addition, cannabinoid agonist-stimulated proliferation was reduced by the Akt translocation inhibitor BML-257 (12.5 microM), suggesting a role for phosphoinositide-3 kinase signalling. Together, our results suggest that cannabinoids stimulate proliferation of neural stem/precursor cells acting on both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors through a phosphoinositide-3 kinase/Akt pathway. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), members of the neurotrophin family, bind to and activate TrkA, TrkB and TrkC, respectively, members of the Trk receptor tyrosine kinase family, to exert various effects including promotion of differentiation and survival, and regulation of synaptic plasticity in neuronal cells. Many reports have suggested that different neurotrophins show distinct biological functions, although molecular mechanisms by which neurotrophins exert their different functions remain unclear. In the present study, we found distinct usages of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) and Shc in intracellular signaling stimulated by neurotrophins. BDNF stimulated much stronger interactions of PLCgamma with Trk than NGF and NT-3 in PC12 cells stably expressing TrkB and cultured cerebral cortical neurons, respectively, although BDNF, NGF and NT-3 induced similar levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of Trk. Furthermore, the cultured cortical neurons showed large PLCgamma-dependent increases in intracellular Ca(2+) levels in response to BDNF compared with NT-3. In Shc signaling, NGF, but not BDNF, displayed interactions between Trk and Shc in a phenylarsine oxide (PAO; an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase)-dependent manner in TrkB-expressing PC12 cells. These results indicated that neurotrophins stimulate distinct kinds of interactions between Trk and PLCgamma and between Trk and Shc. These differences may lead to the distinct biological functions of neurotrophins. 相似文献

Northern blot analysis was used to examine the effects of glucocorticoids on neurotrophin mRNA expression in the rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The results show that 3 days after adrenalectomy the mRNA levels for nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) decreased significantly in both these regions. In adrenalectomized animals given dexamethasone replacement the mRNA levels for the three neurotrophins were restored to control levels. The effect of a single dose of dexamethasone (5 mg/kg) administered i p. to intact animals on the expression of neurotrophins was also examined. NGF and NT-3 mRNAs showed a 2.5-fold and a 1.4-fold increase, respectively, during the first 4 h after the injection. The increase was followed by a decrease, with levels -50% of control 24 and 48 h after the injection. In contrast, the level of BDNF mRNA did not change during the first 10 h after the injection, but decreased to 70% of control 48 h after the injection. These data indicate that glucocorticoids regulate neurotrophin mRNA expression both in the cortex and in the hippocampus, and suggest further that the known effects of glucocorticoids on neuronal survival in the brain could be due to changes in the levels of neurotrophins in the brain. 相似文献

Expression of neurotrophins BDNF and NT-3, and their receptors in rat brain after administration of antipsychotic and psychotrophic agents 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We have investigated the potential role of neurotrophic factors in antipsychotic drug action by examining the effects of antipsychotic
and psychotropic treatments on the mRNA expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and
their receptors, trkB and trkC, respectively, in rat brain. Neither acute nor chronic clozapine treatment significantly affected
the expression of these mRNAs in any brain area investigated, except for a decrease in trkB expression in the granule cells
of the olfactory bulb. We then examined the effects of the psychotropic agent MK-801. MK-801 (5 mg/kg; 4h) significantly increased
BDNF mRNA in the entorhinal cortex, but did not influence NT-3, trkB, or trkC expression in any brain area except for the
olfactory bulb. The induction of BDNF mRNA by MK-801 was attenuated by pre-treatment (1 h prior to MK-801 administration)
with the antipsychotics, clozapine (25 mg/kg) and haloperidol (2 mg/kg), but not with the antidepressant desipramine (15 mg/kg).
Finally, we confirmed that the effects of MK-801 on BDNF mRNA were reflected in the respective changes in BDNF protein levels:
MK-801 significantly increased anti-BDNF reactivity in the entorhinal cortex (126 ± 7% of control) while concomitantly decreasing
in the hippocampus (71 ± 2% of control). These data do not support the hypothesis that neurotrophins play an important role
in antipsychotic drug action, but rather suggest that induction of BDNF in the entorhinal cortex may play a significant role
in the psychotropic action of MK-801. 相似文献

Retrograde axonal transport of neurotrophins from nerve terminal to cell body requires a number of key processes, including internalization of the receptor-neurotrophin complex into vesicles and formation of multivesicular bodies and their transport along the axon. Previous studies have shown that each of these processes can be regulated by kinases. In this study, we looked at the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in retrograde transport by injecting labeled neurotrophins together with relevant pharmacological agents into the eye and measuring the accumulation of radioactivity in the trigeminal and superior cervical ganglia. Inhibitors of PKC, Ro-31-8220 and rottlerin, did not affect the retrograde transport of nerve growth factor (NGF); however, phorbol ester activation of classical and novel PKCs blocked retrograde transport. The effect of phorbol esters was partially reversed by rottlerin and Ro-31-8220. Activation of PKC has been shown to be involved in the disorganization of actin filaments. In this study, we show that Ro-31-8220 reverses growth cone collapse by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and suggest that one of the effects of activating PKC on retrograde transport is to disrupt the actin filaments. 相似文献

The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels contains four temperature-sensitive channels, named TRPV1-4, that are activated by heat stimuli from warm to that in the noxious range. Recently, two other members of this superfamily, TRPA1 and TRPM8, have been cloned and characterized as possible candidates for cold transducers in primary afferent neurons. Using in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunohistochemistry, we characterized the precise distribution of TRPA1, TRPM8, and TRPV1 mRNAs in the rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. In the DRG, TRPM8 mRNA was not expressed in the TRPV1-expressing neuronal population, whereas TRPA1 mRNA was only seen in some neurons in this population. Both A-fiber and C-fiber neurons expressed TRPM8, whereas TRPV1 was almost exclusively seen in C-fiber neurons. All TRPM8-expressing neurons also expressed TrkA, whereas the expression of TRPV1 and TRPA1 was independent of TrkA expression. None of these three TRP channels were coexpressed with TrkB or TrkC. The TRPM8-expressing neurons were more abundant in the TG compared with the DRG, especially in the mandibular nerve region innervating the tongue. Our data suggest heterogeneity of TRPM8 and TRPA1 expression by subpopulations of primary afferent neurons, which may result in the difference of cold-sensitive primary afferent neurons in sensitivity to chemicals such as menthol and capsaicin and nerve growth factor. 相似文献

Male Lewis rats (two groups of 10) received intracerebroventricular injections of either AM 630 (vehicle, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 microg) or AM 281 (vehicle, 5, 10, 20 and 40 microg) following overnight food deprivation. The CB2 antagonist AM 630 failed to block deprivation-induced intake at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 h. The CB1 antagonist AM 281 significantly blocked intake following 20 microg (1 h) and 40 microg (1, 2, 4 and 6 h). Results are discussed with respect to cannabinoid receptor systems' involvement in ingestion and the differential pharmacological profiles of AM 630 and AM 281. 相似文献

Brain inflammation in early life has been proposed to play important roles in the development of anxiety and psychosis‐related behaviors in adulthood, behaviors that rely on the integrity of dopamine and/or serotonin systems. Moreover recent behavioral and anatomical evidence suggests involvement of CB1 receptors in the control of emotion and mood. In this study, we determined the effects of neonatal LPS treatment on dopamine, serotonin, and cannabinoid receptor binding in adulthood. Rats were treated with the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on postnatal day (PND) 3 and 5. Dopamine D1, D2, serotonin 5HT1A, 5HT2A, and serotonin transporter and cannabinoid CB1 receptor binding across several brain regions were measured autoradiographically in adulthood (PND 85). Neonatal LPS treatment caused a significant increase in dopamine D2 in the nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle, a decrease in 5HT1A receptor binding in the hippocampus CA1 and ventromedial hypothalamus. A decrease in CB1 receptor binding after neonatal LPS was observed in the amygdala. Neonatal LPS had no significant impact on dopamine D1, serotonin 5HT2A or serotonin transporter binding in any of the brain regions examined. Our results suggest long lasting, region specific effects and differential impact on dopamine, serotonin and cannabinoid receptor systems following neonatal inflammation, that may form the basis for compromised anxiety and psychosis related behaviors.

The limited availability and potential to culture primary human brain cells means that there is still a need for cell lines that reliably model human neurons and glial cells. The human-derived NTera2/D1 (NT2) cell line is a promising tool from which both neuronal (NT2N) and astrocytic (NT2A) cells can be derived in vitro. Here we have investigated the potential to use this cell model to investigate the endocannabinoid system in the CNS. Through immunocytochemical characterization with a range of neuronal and glial markers, we found that these cell lines differentiate into cells with immature neuronal and astrocytic phenotypes, respectively. By real-time PCR, immunocytochemistry, and functional inhibition of cAMP accumulation, the cannabinoid 1 receptors were identified only on NT2N cells, consistent with high levels of expression of this receptor in neuronal cells of the CNS. No evidence of cannabinoid 2 receptor expression was found on any of the NT2 cell types. Both the precursors and the differentiated NT2N and NT2A cells demonstrated mRNA expression for the key enzymes involved in endocannabinoid synthesis and degradation. This work establishes a cannabinergic phenotype in NT2N and NT2A cells, providing an alternative human derived renewable cell model for investigation of cannabinoid receptor function and endocannabinoid synthesis and metabolism in the CNS. 相似文献
