EFA6A, an Exchange Factor for Arf6, Regulates NGF-Dependent TrkA Recycling From Early Endosomes and Neurite Outgrowth in PC12 Cells. Traffic 2024; 25:e12936.

Abstract
Endosomal trafficking of TrkA is a critical process for nerve growth factor (NGF)-dependent neuronal cell survival and differentiation. The small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is implicated in NGF-dependent processes in PC12 cells through endosomal trafficking and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. However, the regulatory mechanism for Arf6 in NGF signaling is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that EFA6A, an Arf6-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor, was abundantly expressed in PC12 cells and that knockdown of EFA6A significantly inhibited NGF-dependent Arf6 activation, TrkA recycling from early endosomes to the cell surface, prolonged ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and neurite outgrowth. We also demonstrated that EFA6A forms a protein complex with TrkA through its N-terminal region, thereby enhancing its catalytic activity for Arf6. Similarly, we demonstrated that EFA6A forms a protein complex with TrkA in cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Furthermore, cultured DRG neurons from EFA6A knockout mice exhibited disturbed NGF-dependent TrkA trafficking compared with wild-type neurons. These findings provide the first evidence for EFA6A as a key regulator of NGF-dependent TrkA trafficking and signaling.

Thrombin enhances NGF-mediated neurite extension via increased and sustained activation of p44/42 MAPK and p38 MAPK. PLoS One 2014; 9:e103530. [PMID: 25061982 PMCID: PMC4111596 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0103530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2014] [Accepted: 06/29/2014] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Rapid neurite remodeling is fundamental to nervous system development and plasticity. It involves neurite extension that is regulated by NGF through PI3K/AKT, p44/42 MAPK and p38 MAPK. It also involves neurite retraction that is regulated by the serine protease, thrombin. However, the intracellular signaling pathway by which thrombin causes neurite retraction is unknown. Using the PC12 neuronal cell model, we demonstrate that thrombin utilizes the PI3K/AKT pathway for neurite retraction in NGF-differentiated cells. Interestingly, however, we found that thrombin enhances NGF-induced neurite extension in differentiating cells. This is achieved through increased and sustained activation of p44/42 MAPK and p38 MAPK. Thus, thrombin elicits opposing effects in differentiated and differentiating cells through activation of distinct signaling pathways: neurite retraction in differentiated cells via PI3K/AKT, and neurite extension in differentiating cells via p44/42 MAPK and p38 MAPK. These findings, which also point to a novel cooperative role between thrombin and NGF, have significant implications in the development of the nervous system and the disease processes that afflicts it as well as in the potential of combined thrombin and NGF therapy for impaired learning and memory, and spinal cord injury which all require neurite extension and remodeling.

Abstract
Cereal grass pulvini have emerged as model systems that are not only valuable for the study of gravitropism, but are also of agricultural and economic significance. The pulvini are regions of tissue that are apical to each node and collectively return a reoriented stem to a more vertical position. They have proven to be useful for the study of gravisensing and response and are also providing clues about the establishment of polarity across tissues. This review will first highlight the agronomic significance of these stem regions and their benefits for use as model systems and provide a brief historical overview. A detailed discussion of the literature focusing on cell signaling and early changes in gene expression will follow, culminating in a temporal framework outlining events in the signaling and early growth phases of gravitropism in this tissue. Changes in cell wall composition and gene expression that occur well into the growth phase will be touched upon briefly. Finally, some ongoing research involving both maize and wheat pulvini will be introduced along with prospects for future investigations.

Abstract
Cell growth critically depends on signalling pathways whose regulation is the focus of intense research. Without utilizing a priori knowledge of the relative importance of pathway components, we have applied in silico computational methods to the EGF-induced MAPK cascade. Specifically, we systematically perturbed the entire parameter space, including initial conditions, using a Monte Carlo approach, and investigate which protein components or kinetic reaction steps contribute to the differentiation of ERK responses. The model, based on previous work by Brightman and Fell (2000), is composed of 28 reactions, 27 protein molecules, and 48 parameters from both mass action and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Our multi-parametric systems analysis confirms that Raf inactivation is one of the key steps regulating ERK responses to be either transient or sustained. Furthermore, the results of amplitude-differential ERK phosphorylations within the transient case are mainly attributed to the balance between activation and inactivation of Ras while duration-differential ERK responses for the sustained case are, in addition to Ras, markedly affected by dephospho-/phosphorylation of both MEK and ERK. Our sub-module perturbations showed that MEK and ERK's contribution to this differential ERK activation originates from fluctuations in intermediate pathway module components such as Ras and Raf, implicating a cooperative regulatory mode among the key components. The initial protein concentrations of corresponding reactions such as Ras, GAP, and Raf also influence the distinct signalling outputs of ERK activation. We then compare these results with those obtained from a single-parametric perturbation approach using an overall state sensitivity (OSS) analysis. The OSS findings indicate a more pronounced role of ERK's inhibitory feedback effect on catalysing the dissociation of the SOS complex. Both approaches reveal the presence of multiple specific reactions involved in the distinct dynamics of ERK responses and the cell fate decisions they trigger. This work adds a mechanistic insight of the contribution of key pathway components, thus may support the identification of biomarkers for pharmaceutical drug discovery processes.

Abstract
Thrombin signalling through PAR (protease-activated receptor)-1 is involved in cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation and cell survival. Following traumatic injury to the eye, thrombin signalling may participate in disorders, such as PVR (proliferative vitreoretinopathy), a human eye disease characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation, transdifferentiation and migration of otherwise quiescent RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) cells. PARs activate the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK MAPK pathway (where ERK is extracellular-signal-regulated kinase, MAPK is mitogen-activated protein kinase and MEK is MAPK/ERK kinase) through the activation of G(alpha) and G(betagamma) heterotrimeric G-proteins, and the downstream stimulation of the PLC (phospholipase C)-beta/PKC (protein kinase C) and PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) signalling axis. In the present study, we examined the molecular signalling involved in thrombin-induced RPE cell proliferation, using rat RPE cells in culture as a model system for PVR pathogenesis. Our results showed that thrombin activation of PAR-1 induces RPE cell proliferation through Ras-independent activation of the Raf/MEK/ERK1/2 MAPK signalling cascade. Pharmacological analysis revealed that the activation of 'conventional' PKC isoforms is essential for proliferation, although thrombin-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 requires the activation of atypical PKCzeta by PI3K. Consistently, thrombin-induced ERK1/2 activation and RPE cell proliferation were prevented completely by PI3K or PKCzeta inhibition. These results suggest that thrombin induces RPE cell proliferation by joint activation of PLC-dependent and atypical PKC isoforms and the Ras-independent downstream stimulation of the Raf/MEK/ERK1/2 MAPK cascade. The present study is the first report demonstrating directly thrombin-induced ERK phosphorylation in the RPE, and the involvement of atypical PKCzeta in this process.

Abstract
The biological and clinical heterogeneity of neuroblastoma is closely associated with signaling pathways that control cellular characteristics such as proliferation, survival and differentiation. The Shc family of docking proteins is important in these pathways by mediating cellular signaling. In this study, we analysed the expression levels of ShcA and ShcC proteins in 46 neuroblastoma samples and showed that a significantly higher level of ShcC protein is observed in neuroblastomas with poor prognostic factors such as advanced stage and MYCN amplification (P<0.005), whereas the expression level of ShcA showed no significant association with these factors. Using TNB1 cells that express a high level of ShcC protein, it was demonstrated that knockdown of ShcC by RNAi caused elevation in the phosphorylation of ShcA, which resulted in sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and neurite outgrowth. The neurites induced by ShcC knockdown expressed several markers of neuronal differentiation suggesting that the expression of ShcC potentially has a function in inhibiting the differentiation of neuroblastoma cells. In addition, marked suppression of in vivo tumorigenicity of TNB1 cells in nude mice was observed by stable knockdown of ShcC protein. These findings indicate that ShcC is a therapeutic target that might induce differentiation in the aggressive type of neuroblastomas.

Abstract
PC12 rat phaeochromocytoma cells show neuronal differentiation upon NGF treatment. NGF induces prolonged activation of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway in which the 42/44 kDa mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), ERK 1 and 2 are thought to be the key mediators of the differentiation signals. Activation of ERKs leads to the increased transcription of early response genes resulting in cell cycle arrest. Upon NGF treatment the p53 protein, the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor in human cancers, translocates to the nucleus and may play a role in the mediation of NGF-induced cell cycle arrest and neuronal differentiation. Here we demonstrate that in PC12 cells expressing both wild-type and V143A mutant p53 proteins (p143p53PC12 cells), p53-mediated biological responses are critically influenced. p143p53PC12 cells are not able to cease their proliferation and begin their neuronal differentiation program upon NGF treatment. The presence of mutant p53 also reduces the DNA-binding activity of endogenous p53 and disturbs the regulatory machinery of p53 including both the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2, p38 and SAPK/JNK MAP kinases and itself.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a human urine preparation on the differentiation of tumor cells. DESIGN The pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were used to examine the effects of a human urine preparation, CDA-2 on the induction of differentiation markers, neurofilaments, and compared with that induced by nerve growth factor (NGF). The MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126 was used to examine the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in this differentiation inducing effect. RESULTS We find that CDA-2 could induce differentiation of pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, as evidenced by the markedly increased expression of neurofilaments to a level comparable to those induced by NGF. This phenomenon was accompanied by the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and could be inhibited by the MEK inhibitor, U0126. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the presence of active components in the human urine extract that can induce differentiation of PC12 cells and may involve the ERK signaling pathway. This may provide new insights for seeking novel differentiation agents and offer hope for cancer patients.

Abstract
Our laboratory showed previously that estrogen activates ERK in neocortical cultures. To further elucidate the precise signaling sequelae that lead to estrogen-induced ERK activity, we evaluated the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC). We found that neocortical explants expressed primarily PKC gamma and PKC epsilon. Consistent with the involvement of PKC in mediating estrogen-induced ERK phosphorylation, we found that estrogen treatment induced translocation of these PKC isoforms to the plasma membrane. Importantly, inhibition of these isoforms abolished the ability of estrogen to phosphorylate ERK. While direct activation of PKC mimicked the effect of estrogen on ERK, both in pattern of activation and resulting intraneuronal distribution of ERK, PKC-induced ERK phosphorylation required the activity of MEK but not B-Raf. Collectively, these data suggest a critical role for PKC in mediating estrogen induction of ERK activation in the developing brain via a MEK-dependent but B-Raf-independent pathway.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of GM1 to induce phosphorylation/activation of the extracellular-regulated protein kinases (ERKs) in the striatum, hippocampus and frontal cortex of aged male Sprague-Dawley rats. Three different treatment paradigms were used: a single application of GM1 to brain slices in situ, a single intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of GM1 in vivo, and chronic administration of GM1 in vivo. In situ, GM1 induced a rapid and transient activation of ERK1 and ERK 2 in both young and aged rats, and a similar effect was observed after stimulation with the neurotrophins NGF and BDNF. The aged brain appeared to respond more robustly to neurotrophic stimulation with the pERK2 response being significantly greater in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Acute icv administration of GM1 resulted in short-lasting phosphorylation of ERKs in both aged groups, while chronic administration of GM1 induced a protracted phosphorylation of ERKs. Following chronic GM1 treatment, pERK2 levels in the aged hippocampus were elevated over young control animals. In agreement with reports that GM1 phosphorylates TrkA in vitro or in situ, treatment with GM1 increased the phosphorylation of TrkA in hippocampus of both young and aged animals. These observations indicate that the aged brain maintains the ability to respond to neurotrophic stimuli and put forward the proposition that the ERK cascade is associated with the action(s) of GM1 ganglioside in vivo.

Abstract
To examine the effect of an oral fluoropyrimidine anti-cancer agent (S-1) on the radiosensitivity of a human oral cancer cell line with focusing on inhibition of survival signal, Akt/PKB. A human oral cell cancer cell line B88 was used. Activation of Akt/PKB in vivo was examined by immunohistochemistry, and apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL method. Activation of Akt/PKB in vitro was investigated by Western blot and ELISA, and apoptotic cells were detected by Hoechst 33258 staining. S-1 (10 mg/kg/day or 50 microg/ml) greatly enhanced radiosensitivity in B88 cells by suppressing the activation of Akt/PKB. Significant increase in the percentage of apoptotic cells was observed in S-1 treated B88 cells. Survival signals Akt/PKB may be involved in determining radiosensitivity. S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine anti-cancer agent can exert the enhancing effect on radiation by suppressing the activation of Akt/PKB.

Abstract
Computer simulations and mathematical modeling of biological processes are becoming increasingly popular, and yet the complexity of the biochemical systems or the differences between experimental setups make it very difficult to establish a standard formula for these modeling projects. Before we can start using computer-based models for predictions or targeted experiment designs, it is very important to establish a reliable model on which those predictions can be based and experimentally tested. Here we attempt to present a computer model for the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade which is consistent with previously published experimental results. In this study we have focused our attention to a generic MAPK ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) pathway activated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) in an attempt to understand how receptors may achieve different activation kinetics of the MAPK signaling. We successfully show that the level of receptor expression is one key determinant in this regulation, and that the binding affinity of the active receptor to adaptor proteins can have a small but albeit direct effect on the downstream activation.

Abstract
Osteoclast differentiation is a multi-step process that involves cell proliferation, commitment, and fusion. Some adhesion molecules, including integrin alphavbeta3, have been shown to have roles in osteoclast fusion. In the course of studying with pharmacologic agents known to inhibit protein tyrosine kinases of the Src family, we found that radicicol increased cell fusion during receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL)-driven differentiation of osteoclasts at concentrations far below the ones shown to inhibit its targets in previous studies. Treatments of low doses of radicicol to RAW 264.7 cells that undergo osteoclastic differentiation in the presence of RANKL enhanced the RANKL-induced gene expression of integrin beta3 without any effect on the expression of integrin alphav, which was constitutively high. The cell surface level of integrin alphavbeta3 complexes was consequently augmented by radicicol. In addition, sustained ERK and MEK activation was observed in cells treated with both radicicol and RANKL. More importantly, modulation of ERK activity by the MEK inhibitor U0126 or the gene transduction of a constitutively active form of MEK resulted in a suppression and increment, respectively, of integrin beta3 induction by RANKL. Our data indicate that sustained ERK activity is associated with integrin beta3 induction and subsequent cell surface expression of the alphavbeta3 integrin complex, which may contribute to cell fusion during RANKL-directed osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
We previously isolated a nerve growth factor (NGF)-dependent neurite outgrowth promoting substance MC14 (sargaquinoic acid) from a marine brown alga, Sargassum macrocarpum. In the present study, the NGF-potentiating activity of MC14 to neural differentiation of PC12D cells was investigated in detail. The treatment of cells with 3 microg/ml MC14 in the presence of 1.25-100 ng/ml NGF markedly enhanced the proportion of neurite-bearing cells compared with the NGF-only controls. In addition, MC14 significantly elevated the NGF-induced specific acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in PC12D cells, suggesting that MC14 could morphologically and biochemically promote the differentiation of PC12D cells. The mechanism of action of MC14 was further investigated by pharmacological inhibition of several intracellular signaling molecules. Results indicated that the neurite outgrowth promoting activity of MC14 was almost completely blocked by 10 microM PD98059, suggesting that a TrkA-dependent MAP kinases-mediated signaling pathway may play a crucial role in modulating the effect of MC14. Besides, the MC14-enhanced neurite outgrowth was substantially suppressed by the pretreatment with 10 ng/ml protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, demonstrating that the adenylate cyclase-PKA signaling cascade was also involved in the action of MC14. In contrast, a PKC inhibitor chelerythrine chloride did not inhibit the neurite outgrowth promoting activity of MC14. Altogether, these results demonstrate that MC14 enhances the neurite outgrowth by cooperating at least two separated signaling pathways, a TrkA-MAP kinases pathway and an adenylate cyclase-PKA pathway, in PC12D cells.

We obtained a drug-hypersensitive PC12 mutant cell (PC12m3), in which neurite outgrowth was strongly stimulated by various drugs such as FK506, calcimycin and cAMP, under the condition of NGF treatment. The frequency of neurite outgrowth stimulated by FK506 was approximately 40 times greater than by NGF alone. The effects of FK506 on neurite outgrowth in PC12m3 cells were inhibited by rapamycin, an FK506 antagonist, and by calcimycin, a calcium ionophore. PC12m3 cells had a strong NGF-induced MAP kinase activity, the same as PC12 parental cells. However, FK506-induced MAP kinase activity was detected only in PC12m3 cells. The activation of MAP kinase by FK506 in PC12m3 cells was markedly inhibited by rapamicin and calcimycin. FK506-induced MAP kinase activity was also inhibited by MAP kinase inhibitor U0126. These results demonstrate that drug-hypersensitive PC12m3 cells have a novel FK506-induced MAP kinase pathway for neuritogenesis.

Abstract
Physical exercise is a significant stimulus for the regulation of multiple metabolic and transcriptional processes in skeletal muscle. For example, exercise increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake, and, after exercise, there are increases in the rates of both glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis. A single bout of exercise can also induce transient changes in skeletal muscle gene transcription and can alter rates of protein metabolism, both of which may be mechanisms for chronic adaptations to repeated bouts of exercise. A central issue in exercise biology is to elucidate the underlying molecular signaling mechanisms that regulate these important metabolic and transcriptional events in skeletal muscle. In this review, we summarize research from the past several years that has demonstrated that physical exercise can regulate multiple intracellular signaling cascades in skeletal muscle. It is now well established that physical exercise or muscle contractile activity can activate three of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, including the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2, the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase, and the p38. Exercise can also robustly increase activity of the AMP-activated protein kinase, as well as several additional molecules, including glycogen synthase kinase 3, Akt, and the p70 S6 kinase. A fundamental goal of signaling research is to determine the biological consequences of exercise-induced signaling through these molecules, and this review also provides an update of progress in this area.

Abstract
1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a potent inducer of cell death, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causing apoptosis in PC12h cells at 1 mM [Shimoke et al., J. Neurosci. Res. 63 (2001) 402-409]. We showed here that MPTP also had a weak proliferative effect on PC12h at 500 microM when treated for 24 h. The proliferative effect was additive within 24 h cells when nerve growth factor (NGF) was present in the culture medium, but NGF promoted cell differentiation 2 or 3 days after. Use of PD98059, a specific inhibitor of MEK1 located upstream of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), revealed that the NGF- and MPTP-induced proliferative effect depends on the MEK1 pathway because PD98059 diminished the proliferation completely, and interestingly, NGF and MPTP promoted sustained activation of ERKs. Moreover, we observed that MPTP increased the activity of p38 MAPK but not c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in 30 min. We also observed that SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, decreased cell viability. These results suggest that NGF and MPTP cooperate to promote acute cell proliferation via the sustained ERKs and the p38 MAPK pathway within 24 h in PC12h cells.

Abstract
Microglia are activated in humans following infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and brain inflammation is thought to be involved in neuronal injury and dysfunction during HIV infection. Numerous studies indicate a role for the HIV regulatory protein Tat in HIV-related inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes, although the specific effects of Tat on microglial activation, and the signal transduction mechanisms thereof, have not been elucidated. In the present study, we document the effects of Tat on microglial activation and characterize the signal transduction pathways responsible for Tat's pro-inflammatory effects. Application of Tat to N9 microglial cells increased multiple parameters of microglial activation, including superoxide production, phagocytosis, nitric oxide release and TNF alpha release. Tat also caused activation of both p42/p44 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF kappa B pathways. Inhibitor studies revealed that Tat-induced NF kappa B activation was responsible for increased nitrite release, while MAPK activation mediated superoxide release, TNF alpha release, and phagocytosis. Lastly, pre-treatment of microglial cells with physiological concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol suppressed Tat-mediated microglial activation by interfering with Tat-induced MAPK activation. Together, these data elucidate specific components of the microglial response to Tat and suggest that Tat could contribute to the neuropathology associated with HIV infection through microglial promulgation of oxidative stress.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on radiosensitivity was examined, especially focusing on "survival signal transduction pathways." METHODS AND MATERIALS Two human esophageal squamous cell cancer cell lines, TE-1 (p53, mutant) and TE-2 (p53, wild), were used. Radiosensitivity was determined by clonogenic assay, and activation of survival signals was examined by Western blot. RESULTS Genistein (30 microM) greatly enhanced radiosensitivity in these cell lines by suppressing radiation-induced activation of survival signals, p42/p44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase and AKT/PKB. Significant increase in the percentage of apoptotic cells and increased poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase cleavage were observed in TE-2, but not in TE-1 even after combination of genistein with irradiation. In terms of changes in expression of p53-related proteins, increase in expression of Bax and decrease in that of Bcl-2 were observed in TE-2 but not in TE-1, suggesting that the main mode of cell death induced by genistein in a cell line with wild type p53 differed from that with mutant p53. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that survival signals, including p42/p44 ERK and AKT/PKB, may be involved in determining radiosensitivity, and genistein would be a potent therapeutic agent that has an enhancing effect on radiation.

Abstract
The therapeutic administration of Interferon alpha2b (IFNalpha) is often accompanied by impaired renal function, i.e. reduced glomerular filtration rate and sometimes a so-called "capillary leak syndrome". To clarify the mechanism behind the renal dysfunction, confluent monolayers of LLC-PK1 cells were used as a model system to analyze the effects of IFNalpha on renal tubular epithelium. Examination of epithelial barrier function via measurement of transepithelial resistance (TER) revealed a dose dependent increase in paracellular permeability by IFNalpha treatment. The effect was reversible upon removal of IFNalpha at doses up to 5 x 10(3) U/mL. Apical or basolateral application of IFNalpha yielded the same decrease in TER. Tyrphostin A25, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine kinases, ameliorated the IFNalpha induced decrease of TER. In order to unravel intracellular signal transduction pathways that may mediate IFNalpha induced changes of epithelial barrier function, we inhibited IFNalpha signaling through a mitogen activated protein kinase pathway by the Mek1 inhibitor PD98059. The inhibitor could be shown to prevent IFNalpha induced decrease of transepithelial resistance. Inhibitors of the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase pathway did not affect IFNalpha mediated changes of epithelial barrier function, indicating a highly specific role for the Mek/Erk pathway. Activation of mitogen activated protein kinase pathways by epidermal growth factor or anisomycin could not, per se, imitate the effect of IFNalpha on the paracellular permeability of LLC-PK1 monolayers. These findings provide evidence that IFNalpha can affect barrier function in renal epithelial cells via activation of the Mek/Erk pathway.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
We previously identified the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (UPAR) as a gene induced by nerve growth factor (NGF), but not by epidermal growth factor (EGF), in PC12 cells (Farias-Eisner et al. [2000] J. Neurosci. 20:230-239). Antisense oligonucleotides for the UPAR mRNA or an antibody directed against UPAR protein, added simultaneously with NGF, block NGF-induced morphological and biochemical differentiation of PC12 cells. In this report, we show that anti-UPAR antibody blocks morphological differentiation and the expression of two NGF-specific secondary response genes, collagenase-1 and transin, in PC12 cells only during the first 2 hr following NGF exposure. These data suggest that induced UPAR expression is required only over a short period of time following exposure to NGF for the differentiation program in PC12 cells to proceed. For two models of "primed" PC12 cells, we found that UPAR expression and function are not required for NGF-induced differentiation. UPAR and the secondary response genes collagenase-1 and transin are not induced in "primed" PC12 cells in response to NGF, and anti-UPAR antibody does not block morphological differentiation in these cells. Our data suggests that UPAR is required only transiently during the "priming" of PC12 cells in NGF-induced PC12 cell differentiation.

Abstract
An avian ortholog of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) is the target-derived factor responsible for the developmental expression of large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (K(Ca)) channels in chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons developing in vivo and in vitro. Application of TGFbeta1 evokes an acute stimulation of K(Ca) that can be observed immediately after cessation of a 12 hr exposure to this factor, that persists in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors, and that is therefore mediated by posttranslational events. Here we show that a single 3 hr exposure to TGFbeta1 can also induce long-lasting stimulation of macroscopic K(Ca) that persists for at least 3.5 d after the end of the treatment. In contrast to the acute stimulation, this sustained effect is dependent on the transcription and synthesis of new proteins at approximately the time of TGFbeta1 treatment. However TGFbeta1 does not cause increases in the levels of slowpoke alpha subunit transcripts in CG neurons, suggesting that induction of some other protein or proteins is required for sustained enhancement of macroscopic K(Ca). In addition, application of TGFbeta1 evoked an almost immediate but transient phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase Erk in CG neurons. TGFbeta1-evoked Erk activation was blocked by the specific MEK1 inhibitor 2- (2'-amino-3'-methoxyphenyl)-oxanaphthalen-4-one (PD98059). Moreover, application of PD98059 blocked both acute and sustained K(Ca) stimulation evoked by TGFbeta1. These results indicate that TGFbeta1 elicits a biphasic stimulation of K(Ca) via activation of an MEK1-Erk pathway and raise the possibility that other neuronal effects of TGFbeta superfamily members entail Erk activation.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF)-driven differentiation of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells is a well studied model used both to identify molecular, biochemical, and physiological correlates of neurotrophin-driven neuronal differentiation and to determine the causal nature of specific events in this differentiation process. Although epidermal growth factor (EGF) elicits many of the same early biochemical and molecular changes in PC12 cells observed in response to NGF, EGF does not induce molecular or morphological differentiation of PC12 cells. The identification of genes whose expression is differentially regulated by NGF versus EGF in PC12 cells has, therefore, been considered a source of potential insight into the molecular specificity of neurotrophin-driven neuronal differentiation. A "second generation" representational difference analysis procedure now identifies the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (UPAR) as a gene that is much more extensively induced by NGF than by EGF in PC12 cells. Both an antisense oligonucleotide for the UPAR mRNA and an antibody directed against UPAR protein block NGF-induced morphological and biochemical differentiation of PC12 cells; NGF-induced UPAR expression is required for subsequent NGF-driven differentiation.
