Transgenic overexpression of polysialyltransferase ST8SiaIV under the control of a neuron-specific promoter does not affect brain development but impairs exploratory behavior. Glycobiology 2019; 29:657-668. [PMID: 31147692 PMCID: PMC6704368 DOI: 10.1093/glycob/cwz040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Revised: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
A large body of the literature has demonstrated that the polysialic acid (polySia) modification of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a key regulator of cellular interactions during brain development, maintenance and plasticity. To properly fulfill these functions, polySia concentration has to be carefully controlled. This is done by the regulation of the expression of the two polySia-synthesizing enzymes ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV. From this point of view we and others have demonstrated that downregulation of ST8SiaIV during oligodendrocyte differentiation is a prerequisite for efficient myelin formation and maintenance. Here, we addressed the question whether the prevention of polySia downregulation in neurons affects brain and particularly myelin development and functioning. For this purpose, we developed transgenic (tg) mouse lines overexpressing the polysialyltransferase ST8SiaIV in neurons. tg expression of ST8SiaIV prevented the postnatal downregulation of polySia, and most of the polySias in the forebrain and brain stem of adult tg mice were associated with NCAM-140 and NCAM-180 isoforms. Structural examination of the brain revealed no overt abnormalities of axons and myelin. In addition, ultrastructural and western blot analyses indicated normal myelin development. However, behavioral studies revealed reduced rearing activity, a measure for exploratory behavior, while parameters of motor activity were not affected in tg mice. Taken together, these results suggest that a persisting presence of polySia in neurons has no major effect on brain structure, myelination and myelin maintenance, but causes mild behavioral changes.

Abstract
While distinct stages of natural killer (NK) cell development have been defined, the molecular interactions that shape human NK cell maturation are poorly understood. Here we define intercellular interactions between developing NK cells and stromal cells which, through contact-dependent mechanisms, promote the generation of mature, functional human NK cells from CD34(+) precursors. We show that developing NK cells undergo unique, developmental stage-specific sustained and transient interactions with developmentally supportive stromal cells, and that the relative motility of NK cells increases as they move through development in vitro and ex vivo. These interactions include the formation of a synapse between developing NK cells and stromal cells, which we term the developmental synapse. Finally, we identify a role for CD56 in developmental synapse structure, NK cell motility and NK cell development. Thus, we define the developmental synapse leading to human NK cell functional maturation.

NCAM-140 Translocation into Lipid Rafts Mediates the Neuroprotective Effects of GDNF. Mol Neurobiol 2016; 54:2739-2751.

Abstract
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor for substantia nigra dopaminergic (DA) neuronal cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that neural cell adhesion molecule functions as a signal transduction receptor for GDNF. The purpose of this study is to reveal whether neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) mediates the protective effects of GDNF on DA neuronal cells and further explore the mechanisms involved. We utilized SH-SY5Y cell line to establish a model of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-injured DA neuronal cells. Lentiviral vectors were constructed to knockdown or overexpress NCAM-140, and a density gradient centrifugation method was employed to separate membrane lipid rafts. 3-(4,5-Dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometric analysis, and western blotting were used to evaluate the protective effects of GDNF. The results showed that GDNF could protect 6-OHDA-injured SH-SY5Y cells via improving cell viability and decreasing the cell death rate and cleaved caspase-3 expression. NCAM-140 knockdown decreased cell viability and increased the cell death rate and cleaved caspase-3 expression, while its overexpression had the opposite effects. Notably, the amount of NCAM-140 located in lipid rafts increased after GDNF treatment. Pretreatment with 2-bromopalmitate, a specific inhibitor of protein palmitoylation, suppressed NCAM-140 translocation to lipid rafts and reduced the NCAM-mediated protective effects of GDNF on injured DA neuronal cells. Our results suggest that GDNF have the protective effects on injured DA cells by influencing NCAM-140 translocation into lipid rafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, we screened for cardiac genes induced by metabolic stress and identified neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) as a candidate. This study aimed to clarify the expression pattern of NCAM in human cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 64 cardiac tissue samples of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were dichotomized according to the immunohistochemically determined signal intensity of NCAM staining (NCAM-high and NCAM-low groups). Clinical and hemodynamic data of the patients were compared between the 2 groups. Fibrosis area, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, and left ventricular diastolic pressure were greater in the NCAM-high group (22.8% versus 11.6%, P<0.05; 130.3±57.6 versus 104.8±31.7 mL/m(2), P<0.05; 14.3±8.0 versus 8.8±4.7 mm Hg, P<0.005; respectively). Incidence of cardiac death and admission for worsening heart failure was higher in the NCAM-high group during a follow-up of 6.3 years (log-rank P<0.05). Another 18 tissue samples were analyzed to determine the relationships between expression level of NCAM and major metabolic genes as well as hemodynamic parameters. The mRNA level of NCAM correlated with the serum (r=0.58; P=0.01) and mRNA levels (r=0.61; P=0.008) of brain-derived natriuretic peptides. It was also correlated with the mRNA levels of proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1 α (r=0.69; P=0.002) and the nuclear respiratory factor 1 (r=0.74; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Expression of NCAM was associated with worsening hemodynamic parameters and major metabolic genes. Together with our previous findings, these data support the involvement of NCAM in left ventricular remodeling, revealing new insights into the pathophysiology of heart failure.

Abstract
Social isolation in adulthood is a psychosocial stressor that can result in endocrinological and behavioral alterations in different species. In rodents, controversial results have been obtained in fear conditioning after social isolation at adulthood, while neural substrates underlying these differences are largely unknown. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and its polysialylated form (PSA-NCAM) are prominent modulators of synaptic plasticity underlying memory processes in many tasks, including fear conditioning. In this study, we used adult female Octodon degus to investigate the effects of long-term social isolation on contextual and cued fear conditioning, and the possible modulation of the synaptic levels of NCAM and PSA-NCAM in the hippocampus. After 6½ months of social isolation, adult female degus showed a normal auditory-cued fear memory, but a deficit in contextual fear memory, a hippocampal dependent task. Subsequently, we observed reduced hippocampal synaptic levels of PSA-NCAM in isolated compared to grouped-housed female degus. No significant differences were found between experimental groups in hippocampal levels of the three main isoforms of NCAM (NCAM180, NCAM140 and NCAM120). Interestingly, social isolation reduced the volume of the hippocampal CA1 subfield, without affecting the volume of the CA3 subregion or the total hippocampus. Moreover, attenuated body weight gain and reduced number of granulocytes were detected in isolated animals. Our findings indicate for the first time, that long-term social isolation of adult female animals induces a specific shrinkage of CA1 and a decrease in synaptic levels of PSA-NCAM in the hippocampus. These effects may be related to the deficit in contextual fear memory observed in isolated female degus.

Abstract
Cell adhesion molecules participate in the formation, maturation, function and plasticity of synaptic connections. The growing body of evidence indicates that in the regulation of the synaptic plasticity, in which these molecules play pivotal role, also the proteolytic processes are involved. This review focuses on extracellular proteolysis of the cell adhesion molecules by specific subgroup of the matrix metalloproteinases, a disintegrin and metalloproteases and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs, jointly referred to as metzincins, in driving coordinated synaptic structural and functional modifications underlying synaptic plasticity in the adult brain.

Abstract
Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been studied extensively. But it is only in recent times that interest in this molecule has shifted to conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Schizophrenia, focusing on its role in neurodegeneration and abnormal neurodevelopment. NCAM is important in neurite outgrowth, long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and synaptic plasticity. Reduced as well as increased levels in NCAM have been linked to pathology in the brain suggesting that a shift in the equilibrium may be the key. Hence, increasing our understanding of the role of NCAM in health and disease should clear some of the ambiguity surrounding the molecule and even lead to newer potential therapeutic targets. This review consolidates our current understanding of NCAM, focusing on the consequences of dysregulation, its role in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, and the future of NCAM plus potential options for therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysfunction of neural plasticity in the brain is known to alter neural networks, resulting in depression. To understand how fluoxetine regulates molecules involved in neural plasticity, the expression levels of NCAM, NCAM140, CREB and pCREB, in rat C6 glioma cells after fluoxetine treatment were examined. METHODS C6 cells were cultured after 20 min or after 6, 24 or 72 h treatments with 10 µM fluoxetine. Immunocytochemistry was used to determine the effect of fluoxetine on the expression of NCAM. Western blot analysis was used to measure the expression levels of NCAM140 and CREB and the induction of pCREB after fluoxetine treatment. RESULTS NCAM expression following 72-h fluoxetine treatment was significantly increased around cell membranes compared to control cells. Cells treated with fluoxetine for 6 and 72 h showed a significant increase in NCAM140 expression compared to cells treated for 20 min. The level of pCREB in the cells treated with fluoxetine for 72 h not only increased more than 60%, but was also significantly different when compared with the other treatment times. The 72-h fluoxetine treatment led to the increase of NCAM140 and the phosphorylation of CREB in C6 cells. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that fluoxetine treatment regulates neuronal plasticity and neurite outgrowth by phosphorylating and activating CREB via the NCAM140 homophilic interaction-induced activation of the Ras-MAPK pathway.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays an important role in brain plasticity. Using mice deficient in all isoforms of NCAM we have previously demonstrated that constitutive deficiency in the NCAM gene (NCAM-/-) resulted in cognitive impairment, anhedonic behaviour and a reduced ability to cope with stress. This was accompanied by reduced basal phosphorylation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and reduced phosphorylation of calcium-calmodulin kinase (CaMK) II and IV and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB). The present study was aimed to investigate how partial deficiency in NCAM in mice (NCAM+/-) affected phenotype. We found that NCAM+/- mice showed a longer period of immobility in the tail suspension test, increased latency to feed in the novelty-suppressed feeding test and reduced preference for sucrose in sucrose preference test. Both NCAM+/- and NCAM-/- mice showed reduced extinction of contextual fear. In contrast to NCAM-/- mice, NCAM+/- mice did not demonstrate memory impairment in either object recognition or contextual fear conditioning tests. Levels of phosphorylated FGFR1 in the hippocampus and prefrontal/frontal cortex of NCAM+/- mice were partially reduced and no changes in the phosphorylation of CaMKII, CaMKIV or CREB in the hippocampus were found. We conclude that a constitutive partial reduction in NCAM proteins results in a behavioural phenotype related to depression without impairment in cognitive functions, also affecting the level of FGFR1 phosphorylation without major alterations in CaMKII and CaMKIV intracellular signalling. Partial reduction in FGFR1 phosphorylation might explain the observed behavioural phenotype in NCAM+/- mice.

Involvement of NCAM and FGF receptor signaling in the development of analgesic tolerance to morphine. Eur J Pharmacol 2011; 672:77-82.

Abstract
This study examined the involvement of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, in the development of tolerance to morphine. Furthermore, we focused on fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor and protein kinase C (PKC)-α as part of the intracellular signal transduction pathways underlying NCAM stimulation. The development of analgesic tolerance to morphine was gradually observed during daily treatment of morphine (10mg/kg, s.c.) for 5 days. Morphine treatment gradually and significantly decreased the NCAM expression levels. However it returned to normal levels immediately after re-treatment of morphine. Treatment of AS-ODN against NCAM completely inhibited analgesic tolerance to morphine. Protein expression levels of PKC-α were significantly increased by repeated morphine treatment in a NCAM-AS-ODN-reversible manner. Interestingly, alterations of protein interactions between NCAM and FGF receptor were observed under repeated morphine treatment. In addition, SU5402 (2 μg/mouse, i.c.v.), an inhibitor of FGF receptor, completely abolished the development of analgesic tolerance to morphine. Furthermore, κ-opioid receptor stimulation using U-50,488H, a κ-opioid receptor agonist, or establishment of formalin-induced chronic pain can completely suppress these changes in protein expression levels of NCAM and PKC-α and inhibit development of analgesic tolerance to morphine. These findings suggest that NCAM and its interaction with FGF receptor in the mechanism of up-regulation of PKC-α may contribute to the development of analgesic tolerance to morphine. Chronic pain or κ-opioid receptor stimulation could modulate these phenomena and suppress the development of analgesic tolerance to morphine.

Abstract
Activation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors (FGFRs) both by FGFs and by the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is crucial in the development and function of the nervous system. We found that FGFR substrate 2alpha (FRS2alpha), Src homologous and collagen A (ShcA), and phospholipase-Cgamma (PLCgamma) were all required for neurite outgrowth from cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) induced by FGF1 and FGL (an NCAM-derived peptide agonist of FGFR1). Like FGF1, FGL induced tyrosine phosphorylation of FGFR1, FRS2alpha, ShcA, and PLCgamma in a time- and dose-dependent manner. However, the activation of FRS2alpha by FGL was significantly lower than the activation by FGF1, indicating a differential signaling profile induced by NCAM compared with the cognate growth factor.

Abstract
Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein expressed on the surface of neuronal and glial cells. Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that NCAM promotes neuronal functions largely via three main interaction partners: the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), a member of Src family of tyrosine kinases, Fyn and Raf1 kinase which all activate different intracellular signaling pathways. The objective was to clarify, which signaling pathways are being disrupted in NCAM knockout mice and whether FGL peptide is able to restore observed disruptions. Therefore we compared the levels of phosphorylation of FGFR1, Src kinase Fyn, Raf1 kinase, MAP kinases, Akt kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases II and IV (CaMKII and CaMKIV) in the hippocampus of NCAM knockout mice to their wild-type littermates. The data of our study show that mice constitutively deficient in all isoforms of NCAM have decreased basal phosphorylation levels of FGFR1 and CaMKII and CaMKIV. Furthermore, NCAM-mimetic, FGL peptide, is found to be able to restore FGFR1, CaMKII and CaMKIV phosphorylation levels and thereby mimic the interactions of NCAM at this receptor in NCAM deficient mice. Also, we found that Fyn(Tyr530), Raf1, MAP kinases and Akt kinase phosphorylation in adult animals is not affected by NCAM deficiency but interestingly, we found an over-expression of another cell adhesion molecule L1. We conclude that in NCAM deficient mice FGFR1-dependent signaling is disrupted and it can be restored by FGL peptide.

Abstract
C3, a synthetic peptide binding to the Ig1 module of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has previously been identified and shown to inhibit NCAM homophilic binding and NCAM-mediated activation of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor (FGFR). However, C3 can also stimulate signalling on its own in a way similar to NCAM. Here we show that in the absence of NCAM, C3 can bind and activate FGFR, whereas in the presence of NCAM, C3 inhibits the NCAM-stimulated FGFR activation without activating FGFR on its own. Several competing models of FGFR activation by NCAM have been previously proposed. In one of them, the FGFR Ig2-Ig3 modules are involved in binding to NCAM, whereas in another - the FGFR "acid box" region mediates the interaction. The bi-modal effect of C3 can be explained in the context of the former model and is not consistent with the latter, thus providing evidence in support of the former model.

Abstract
The FGL peptide is a neural cell adhesion molecule-derived fibroblast growth factor receptor agonist. FGL has both neurotrophic and memory enhancing properties. Neonatal phencyclidine (PCP) treatment on postnatal days 7, 9, and 11 has been shown to result in long-lasting behavioral abnormalities, including cognitive impairment relevant to schizophrenia. The present study investigated the effect of FGL on spatial learning and memory deficits induced by neonatal PCP treatment. Rat pups were treated with 30 mg/kg PCP on postnatal days 7, 9, and 11. Additionally, the rats were subjected to a chronic FGL treatment regimen where FGL was administered throughout development. Rats were tested as adults for spatial reference memory, reversal learning, and working memory in the Morris water maze. The PCP-treated rats demonstrated a robust impairment in working memory and reversal learning. However, the long-term memory component of the reference memory task was not affected by PCP. Chronic FGL treatment had no effect on the reversal learning impairment but ameliorated the working memory deficits almost to the levels of the control groups. In conclusion, the results suggest that the neonatal PCP treatment produced deficits in cognition relevant to schizophrenia. Moreover, working memory function was selectively protected by the neurotrophic peptide, FGL.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) directly interacts with the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). Both fibronectin type III (FN3) modules of NCAM are involved in this interaction. One of the NCAM-FGFR contact sites has been localized recently to the upper N-terminal part of the second NCAM FN3 module encompassing the F and G beta-strands and the interconnecting loop region. Here, we investigated whether any of the six putative strand-loop-strand regions in the first NCAM FN3 module are involved in FGFR interactions. Peptide sequences encompassing these regions, termed encamins, were synthesized and tested for their ability to bind and activate FGFR. Encamins localized to the N-terminal part of the first FN3 module did not interact with FGFR, whereas encamins localized to the C-terminal part, termed EncaminA, C and E, bound to and activated FGFR. The encamins induced FGFR-dependent neurite outgrowth, and EncaminC and E promoted neuronal survival and enhanced pre-synaptic function. In conclusion, the interaction between NCAM and FGFR probably involves multiple contact sites at an interface formed by the two NCAM FN3 modules and FGFR, and encamins could constitute important pharmacological tools for the study of specific functional aspects of NCAM, including neuroprotection and modulation of plasticity.

Abstract
In this review, the structural biology of interaction between the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor is described and a possible mechanism of the FGF-receptor activation by NCAM is discussed. Most of the FGF-receptor molecules are thought to be constantly involved in a transient interaction with NCAM. However, the FGF-receptor becomes activated only when NCAM is involved the trans-homophilic binding (mediating cell-cell adhesion). The trans-homophilic binding between the NCAM molecules is believed to result in formation of either one- or two-dimensional 'zipper'-like arrays of the NCAM molecules, which leads to NCAM clustering and as a result to clustering of the FGF-receptor, which in turn may lead to its activation through a direct receptor-receptor dimerization (and thus activation) due to an increase in the local concentration of the receptor.

Abstract
Growth cones are highly motile structures found at the leading edge of developing and regenerating nerve processes. Their role in axonal pathfinding has been well established and many guidance cues that influence growth cone behavior have now been identified. Many studies are now providing insights into the transduction and integration of signals in the growth cone, though a full understanding of growth cone behavior still eludes us. This review focuses on recent studies adding to the growing body of literature on growth cone behavior, focusing particularly on the level of autonomy the growth cone possesses and the role of local protein synthesis.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM plays an important role during neural development and in the adult brain. To study the intracellular trafficking of NCAM in neurons, two major isoforms, NCAM140 or NCAM180, were expressed in primary cortical neurons and in the rat B35 neuroblastoma cell line. NCAM was endocytosed and subsequently recycled to the plasma membrane, whereas only a minor fraction was degraded in lysosomes. In cortical neurons, endocytosis of NCAM was detected in the soma, neurites and growth cones in a developmentally regulated fashion. Furthermore, we found that NCAM is mono-ubiquitylated at the plasma membrane and endocytosis was significantly increased in cells overexpressing ubiquitin. Therefore, we propose that ubiquitylation represents an endocytosis signal for NCAM.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays important roles in neuronal development, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity. NCAM homophilic binding mediates cell adhesion and induces intracellular signals, in which the fibroblast growth factor receptor plays a prominent role. Recent studies on axon guidance in Drosophila suggest that NCAM also regulates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 28, 2005, 141). A possible interaction between NCAM and EGFR in mammalian cells has not been investigated. The present study demonstrates for the first time a functional interaction between NCAM and EGFR in mammalian cells and investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying this interaction. First, NCAM and EGFR are shown to play opposite roles in neurite outgrowth regulation in cerebellar granular neurons. The data presented indicate that negative regulation of EGFR is one of the mechanisms underlying the neuritogenic effect of NCAM. Second, it is demonstrated that expression of the NCAM-180 isoform induces EGFR down-regulation in transfected cells and promotes EGFR down-regulation induced by EGF stimulation. It is demonstrated that the mechanism underlying this NCAM-180-induced EGFR down-regulation involves increased EGFR ubiquitination and lysosomal EGFR degradation. Furthermore, NCAM-180-mediated EGFR down-regulation requires NCAM homophilic binding and interactions of the cytoplasmic domain of NCAM-180 with intracellular interaction partners, but does not require NCAM-mediated fibroblast growth factor receptor activation.

Abstract
We identified a novel neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-associated protein, myogenesis-related and NCAM-associated protein (MYONAP), the expression of which increases during the formation of myotubes in quail myoblasts transformed with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus (QM-RSV cells). MYONAP shares homology with PL48 in human cytotrophoblasts and KIAA0386 in human brain. Excess expression of MYONAP in presumptive QM-RSV myoblasts induced long protrusions like neurites in cooperation with microtubules. Suppression of MYONAP by antisense cDNA prevented myotubes from forming in spite of the expression of myogenin, creatine kinase, and myosin, and rendered myoblast membranes resistant to fusion. Yeast two-hybrid screening showed that MYONAP interacted with NCAM specifically. Deletion of the NCAM-associated domain resulted in a loss of the function that induces neurite-like protrusions to form and disturbed the elongation of microtubules. The results suggested that MYONAP influenced the functions of microtubules and was involved in the formation of myotubes via its interaction with NCAM.

Abstract
The development of stem cell-based neural repair strategies requires detailed knowledge on the interaction of migrating donor cells with the host brain environment. Here we report that overexpression of polysialic acid (PSA), a carbohydrate polymer attached to the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), in embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived glial precursors (ESGPs) strikingly modifies their migration behavior in response to guidance cues. ESGPs transduced with a retrovirus encoding the polysialyltransferase STX exhibit enhanced migration in monolayer cultures and an increased penetration of organotypic slice cultures. Chemotaxis assays show that overexpression of PSA results in an enhanced chemotactic migration toward gradients of a variety of chemoattractants, including fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), platelet-derived growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and that this effect is mediated via the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Moreover, PSA-overexpressing ESGPs also exhibit an enhanced chemotactic response to tissue explants derived from different brain regions. The effect of polysialylation on directional migration is preserved in vivo. Upon transplantation into the adult striatum, PSA-overexpressing but not control cells display a targeted migration toward the subventricular zone. On the basis of these data, we propose that PSA plays a crucial role in modulating the ability of migrating precursor cells to respond to regional guidance cues within the brain tissue. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

Abstract
Expression of neural cell-adhesion molecule CD56 is a rare event in B-cell lymphoma. We described four cases of CD56-positive B-cell lymphoma, including follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. These lymphoma cells expressed CD10 and bcl-6, which suggests germinal center-stage phenotype. Immunohistochemistry showed that CD56-positive cells aggregated and displayed a cohesive growth pattern, indicating that homotypic adhesion through the molecules might affect the manner of tumor growth and expansion. Although CD56 expression level varies among the cases, this molecule might play some roles in the manner of growth and expansion of CD56-positive B-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Polysialic acid (PSA) is a polymer of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues added post-translationally to the membrane-bound neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). The large excluded volume created by PSA polymer is thought to facilitate cell migration by decreasing cell adhesion. Here we used live cell imaging (spot fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy) combined with biochemical approaches in an attempt to uncover a link between cell motility and the impact of polysialylation on NCAM dynamics. We show that PSA regulates specifically NCAM lateral diffusion and this is dependent on the integrity of the cytoskeleton. However, whereas the glial-derivative neurotrophic factor chemotactic effect is dependent on PSA, the molecular dynamics of PSA-NCAM is not directly affected by glial-derivative neurotrophic factor. These findings reveal a new intrinsic mechanism by which polysialylation regulates NCAM dynamics and thereby a biological function like cell migration.

Abstract
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) belong to a structurally related family of neurotrophic factors. NTN exerts its effect through a multicomponent receptor system consisting of the GDNF family receptor alpha2 (GFR alpha2), RET, and/or NCAM (neural cell adhesion molecule). GFR alpha2 is alternatively spliced into at least three isoforms (GFR alpha2a, GFR alpha2b, and GFR alpha2c). It is currently unknown whether these isoforms share similar functional and biochemical properties. Using highly specific and sensitive quantitative real-time PCR, these isoforms were found to be expressed at comparable levels in various regions of the human brain. When stimulated with GDNF and NTN, both GFR alpha2a and GFR alpha2c, but not GFR alpha2b, promoted neurite outgrowth in transfected Neuro2A cells. These isoforms showed ligand selectivity in MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) [ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2)] and Akt signaling. In addition, the GFR alpha2 isoforms regulated different early-response genes when stimulated with GDNF or NTN. In coexpression studies, GFR alpha2b was found to inhibit ligand-induced neurite outgrowth by GFR alpha2a and GFR alpha2c. Stimulation of GFR alpha2b also inhibited the neurite outgrowth induced by GFR alpha1a, another member of the GFR alpha. Furthermore, activation of GFR alpha2b inhibited neurite outgrowth induced by retinoic acid and activated RhoA. Together, these data suggest a novel paradigm for the regulation of growth factor signaling and neurite outgrowth via an inhibitory splice variant of the receptor. Thus, depending on the expressions of specific GFR alpha2 receptor spliced isoforms, GDNF and NTN may promote or inhibit neurite outgrowth through the multicomponent receptor complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The FG loop peptide (FGL(L)), a novel mimetic of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is in clinical development for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Preclinical studies in rats, dogs and monkeys have demonstrated exposure in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid after parenteral or intranasal administration of FGL(L), with no systemic toxicity. This article reports on the results of the first administration of FGL(L) in humans. OBJECTIVE To determine the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of ascending, single intranasal doses of FGL(L) 25, 100 and 200mg in healthy subjects. METHODS In an 8-day, open-label, phase I study, 24 healthy male volunteers (mean age 42 [range 24-55] years) received single intranasal doses of FGL(L) (25, 100 and 200mg) in accordance with an ascending dose, sequential-cohort design. RESULTS All three intranasal doses of FGL(L) were well tolerated and there were no clinical notable abnormalities in ECG recordings, vital signs or laboratory tests. Three subjects (13%) reported five adverse events. A transient (<3 minutes) burning sensation in the nose was reported in two subjects at the 200mg dose level while runny eyes (<2 minutes) were experienced in one subject at 25mg. These events had an onset immediately following intranasal administration, and a relationship to FGL(L) was suspected. One of the latter subjects who had experienced a burning sensation in the nose also experienced dizziness, vomiting and headache with onset >2 days after single-dose administration of FGL(L); no relationship to the study drug was suspected. Quantifiable plasma concentrations of FGL(L) were observed up to 1 hour after intranasal administration of the 100mg dose and up to 4 hours after the 200mg dose (plasma FGL(L) concentrations were undetectable at all timepoints for the 25mg dose). Increasing doses of FGL(L) were associated with higher systemic exposures: mean C(max) 0.52 ng/mL and 1.38 ng/mL (100mg and 200mg, respectively); mean AUC(24) 1.27 ng x h/mL and 4.05 ng x h/mL (100mg and 200mg, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Intranasal administration of FGL(L) (25, 100 and 200mg) was well tolerated in healthy male volunteers, with no safety concerns and a pharmacokinetic profile that was generally dose related. Further studies are currently being planned to evaluate the effects of FGL(L) in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a crucial role in neuronal development, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity associated with learning and memory consolidation. Homophilic binding of NCAM leads to neurite extension and neuroprotection in various types of primary neurons through activation of a complex network of signalling cascades, including fibroblast growth factor receptor, Src-family kinases, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, and an increase in intracellular Ca(2+). Here we present data indicating an involvement of cyclic GMP in NCAM-mediated neurite outgrowth in both hippocampal and dopaminergic neurons and in NCAM-mediated neuroprotection of dopaminergic neurons. In addition, evidence is presented suggesting that NCAM mediates activation of cGMP via synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) by NO synthase (NOS) and activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase by NO, leading to an increased synthesis of cGMP and activation by cGMP of protein kinase G.

Abstract
Stimulation of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) by homophilic interactions is known to lead to neurite outgrowth as well as to neuronal survival. Whereas a complex network of signalling molecules is known to be of importance to NCAM-mediated neurite extension, only limited information is available regarding signalling underlying NCAM-mediated neuroprotection. Here, we present data suggesting a difference in the signalling events required for survival of rat dopaminergic neurons as compared with neurite outgrowth from the same cell type. Whereas Fyn, fibroblast growth factor receptor, mitogen-activated protein and ERK kinase, protein kinase A and protein kinase C are required for both responses to NCAM-induced signalling, phospholipase C and Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent kinase II are only necessary for the neurite outgrowth response, but dispensable for neuroprotection.

Abstract
1. The cell adhesion molecule L1 has been implicated in adhesion and migration of cells, in axon growth, guidance, and fasciculation, in myelination and synaptic plasticity. The cytoplasmic domain of neuronal L1 is highly conserved between species and has been shown to be phosphorylated at serine and tyrosine residues. 2. To investigate the significance of L1 serine phosphorylation, mutants of L1 were generated in which ser-1152, ser-1181, ser-1204, and ser-1248 were exchanged for leucine and rat B35 neuroblastoma cells were stably transfected with the L1-cDNA constructs. 3. Neurite outgrowth on poly-L-lysine (PLL) as substrate was determined either with or without differentiation into a neuronal phenotype with dbcAMP. In addition, antibody-induced endocytosis and cell migration were examined. 4. Our observations indicate that phosphorylation of single serine residues of the cytoplasmic domain of L1 contributes to neurite outgrowth through different mechanisms. Neurite growth is increased when ser-1152 or ser-1181 is replaced by a non-phosphorylatable leucine and decreased when ser-1204 or ser-1248 is mutated to leucine. Furthermore, mutation of ser-1181 to leucine results in strongly enhanced antibody-induced endocytosis of L1 and also in enhanced cell migration.

Abstract
Cell adhesion and cell migration are essential for a variety of important events in both embryonic development and in the adult organism. Cell adhesion molecules (CAM) like selectins, immunoglobulin superfamily members, integrins, and cadherins undergo diverse mechanisms of regulation. Dysregulation of adhesion can lead to pathological processes, including inflammatory diseases or tumor metastasis either by disrupting the normal anchorage, thereby altering cell movement and regulatory signalling, or by promoting inappropriate temporal and spatial adhesion. An increasing body of evidence has emerged showing that members of the a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family critically contribute to the regulation of CAM functions. While the disintegrin domain can interact with integrins and mediate adhesion, the metalloproteinase domain can mediate anti-adhesive functions by cleaving the membrane bound adhesion molecules. This "shedding" process leads to the release of often still functional soluble ectodomains and can additionally influence intracellular cell signalling pathways. Several soluble CAMs have been detected in vitro and in vivo. Some of them are strongly increased in inflammatory diseases or in the serum of cancer patients. Therefore the level of soluble CAMs but also the expression of the metalloproteinases responsible for their release might provide prognostic information. It could also be useful for monitoring malignant disease stages and for evaluating the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches. Moreover, metalloproteases of the ADAM family are emerging as promising targets for new therapeutic options.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a pivotal role in the development of the nervous system, promoting neuronal differentiation via homophilic (NCAM-NCAM) as well as heterophilic (NCAM-fibroblast growth factor receptor [FGFR]) interactions. NCAM-induced intracellular signaling has been shown to affect and be dependent on the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). However, the molecular basis of this remains unclear. In this study, we determined [Ca2+]i regulating mechanisms involved in intracellular signaling induced by NCAM. To mimic the effect of homophilic NCAM interaction on [Ca2+]i in vitro, we used a peptide derived from a homophilic binding site of NCAM, termed P2, which triggers signaling cascades similar to those activated by NCAM-NCAM interaction. We found that P2 increased [Ca2+]i in primary hippocampal neurons. This effect depended on two signaling pathways. The first pathway was associated with activation of FGFR, phospholipase Cgamma, and production of diacylglycerol, and the second pathway involved Src-family kinases. Moreover, NCAM-mediated Ca2+ entry required activation of nonselective cation and T-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. These channels, together with the Src-family kinases, were also involved in neuritogenesis induced by physiological, homophilic NCAM interactions. Thus, unanticipated mechanisms of Ca2+ homeostasis are shown to be activated by NCAM and to contribute to neuronal differentiation.

Abstract
There is a major unmet need for development of innovative strategies for neuroprotection against ischemic brain injury. Here we show that FGL, a neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-derived peptide binding to and inducing phosphorylation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), acts neuroprotectively after an ischemic insult both in vitro and in vivo. The neuroprotective activity of FGL was tested in vitro on dissociated rat hippocampal neurons and hippocampal slice cultures, using a protocol of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). FGL protected hippocampal neurons from damage and maintained or restored their metabolic and presynaptic activity, both if employed as a pretreatment alone to OGD, and if only applied after the insult. In vivo 24 h pretreatment with a single suboccipital injection of FGL significantly protected hippocampal CA1 neurons from death in a transient global ischemia model in the gerbil. We conclude that FGL promotes neuronal survival after ischemic brain injury.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) belongs to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is composed extracellularly of five Ig-like and two fibronectin type III (F3) modules. It plays a pivotal role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. NCAM signals via a direct interaction with the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). A 15-amino-acid long peptide, the FG loop (FGL) peptide, that is derived from the second F3 module of NCAM has been found to activate FGFR1. We here report that the FGL peptide, when administered intranasally to newborn rats, accelerated early postnatal development of coordination skills. In adult animals s.c. administration of FGL resulted in a prolonged retention of social memory. We found that FGL rapidly penetrated into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid after both intranasal and s.c. administration and remained detectable in the fluids for up to 5 hours.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays a crucial role during development and regeneration. It is expressed in three major isoforms; two of them with intracellular domains of different length and one without any intracellular domain. NCAM is known to be phosphorylated and contains up to 49 serine or threonine residues, which could be phosphorylated. However, the impact of NCAM phosphorylation is still unclear. Here we describe NCAM being phosphorylated during neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. We provide evidence that protein kinase C is involved in the phosphorylation of NCAM. In agreement with our earlier observation that the protein phosphatase 1 is associated with NCAM, we additionally found that NCAM is a substrate for the protein phosphatase 1 but not for the protein phosphatase 2A.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a key role in neural development, regeneration and synaptic plasticity. This study describes a novel function of NCAM140 in stimulating integrin-dependent cell migration. Expression of NCAM140 in rat B35 neuroblastoma cells resulted in increased migration toward the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin, collagen IV, vitronectin, and laminin. NCAM-potentiated cell migration toward fibronectin was dependent on beta1 integrins and required extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity. NCAM140 in B35 neuroblastoma cells was subject to ectodomain cleavage resulting in a 115 kDa soluble fragment released into the media and a 30 kDa cytoplasmic domain fragment remaining in the cell membrane. NCAM140 ectodomain cleavage was stimulated by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate and inhibited by the broad spectrum metalloprotease inhibitor GM6001, characteristic of a metalloprotease. Moreover, treatment of NCAM140-B35 cells with GM6001 reduced NCAM140-stimulated cell migration toward fibronectin and increased cellular attachment to fibronectin to a small but significant extent. These results suggested that metalloprotease-induced cleavage of NCAM140 from the membrane promotes integrin- and ERK1/2-dependent cell migration to extracellular matrix proteins.
