An essential role for the SHIP2-dependent negative feedback loop in neuritogenesis of nerve growth factor-stimulated PC12 cells.

ABSTRACT: The local accumulation of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate (PIP(3)) and resulting activation of Rac1/Cdc42 play a critical role in nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth. To further explore the mechanism, we visualized PIP(3), phosphatidylinositol (3,4) bisphosphate, and Rac1/Cdc42 activities by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging in NGF-stimulated PC12 cells. Based on the obtained FRET images, and with the help of in silico kinetic reaction model, we predicted that PI-5-phosphatase negatively regulates PIP(3) upon NGF stimulation. In agreement with this model, depletion of Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase 2 (SHIP2) markedly potentiated NGF-induced Rac1/Cdc42 activation and PIP(3) accumulation and considerably increased the number and the length of neurites in phosphate and tensin homologue-depleted PC12 cells. Further refinement of the computational model predicted Rac1 regulation of PI3-kinase and SHIP2, which was also validated experimentally. We propose that the SHIP2-mediated negative feedback on PIP(3) coordinately works with the PI3-kinase-mediated positive feedback to form an initial protrusive pattern and, later, to punctuate the PIP(3) accumulation to maintain proper neurite outgrowth.

Project description:The neurotrophic peptide PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) elevates cAMP in PC12 cells. Forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP mimic PACAP's neuritogenic and cell morphological effects, suggesting that they are driven by cAMP. Comparison of microarray expression profiles after exposure of PC12 cells to either forskolin, dibutyryl cAMP, or PACAP revealed a small group of cAMP-dependent target genes. Neuritogenesis induced by all three agents is protein kinase A (PKA)-independent [not blocked by N-[2-(4-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline (H89)] and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent [blocked by 1,4-diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis(methylthio) butadiene (U0126)], and therefore cAMP-dependent target genes potentially mediating neuritogenesis were selected for further analysis based on the pharmacological profile of their induction by PACAP (i.e., mimicking that of neuritogenesis). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting one of these genes, Egr1, blocked PACAP-induced neuritogenesis, and siRNA targeting another, Vil2, blocked a component of the cell size increase elicited by PACAP. Neither siRNA blocked PACAP's PKA-dependent antiproliferative effects. PACAP signaling to neuritogenesis was also impaired by dominant-negative Rap1 expression but was not affected by inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC), indicating a G-protein-coupled receptor-mediated differentiation pathway distinct from the one activated by receptor tyrosine kinase ligands such as nerve growth factor (NGF), that involves both Rap1 and PKC. We have thus identified a cAMP-dependent, PKA-independent pathway proceeding through ERK that functions to up-regulate the transcription of two genes, Egr1 and Vil2, required for PACAP-dependent neuritogenesis and increased cell size, respectively. Dominant-negative Rap1 expression impairs both PACAP-induced neuritogenesis and Egr1 activation by PACAP, suggesting that cAMP elevation and ERK activation by PACAP are linked through Rap1.

Project description:BackgroundThe major goal of the study was to compare the genetic programs utilized by the neuropoietic cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the neurotrophin (NT) Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for neuronal differentiation.ResultsThe designer cytokine Hyper-IL-6 in which IL-6 is covalently linked to its soluble receptor s-IL-6R as well as NGF were used to stimulate PC12 cells for 24 hours. Changes in gene expression levels were monitored using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. We found different expression for 130 genes in IL-6- and 102 genes in NGF-treated PC12 cells as compared to unstimulated controls. The gene set shared by both stimuli comprises only 16 genes.A key step is upregulation of growth factors and functionally related external molecules known to play important roles in neuronal differentiation. In particular, IL-6 enhances gene expression of regenerating islet-derived 3 alpha (REG3A; 1084-fold), regenerating islet-derived 3 beta (REG3B/PAPI; 672-fold), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15; 80-fold), platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFA; 69-fold), growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH; 30-fold), adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP; 20-fold) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF; 5-fold). NGF recruits GDF15 (131-fold), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1; 101-fold) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 89-fold). Both stimuli activate growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) indicating that PC12 cells undergo substantial neuronal differentiation.Moreover, IL-6 activates the transcription factors retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA; 20-fold) and early growth response 1 (Egr1/Zif268; 3-fold) known to play key roles in neuronal differentiation.Ingenuity biological function analysis revealed that completely different repertoires of molecules are recruited to exert the same biological functions in neuronal differentiation. Major sub-categories include cellular growth and differentiation, cell migration, chemotaxis, cell adhesion, small molecule biochemistry aiming at changing intracellular concentrations of second messengers such as Ca2+ and cAMP as well as expression of enzymes involved in posttranslational modification of proteins.ConclusionThe current data provide novel candidate genes involved in neuronal differentiation, notably for the neuropoietic cytokine IL-6. Our findings may also have impact on the clinical treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Local application of a designer cytokine such as H-IL-6 with drastically enhanced bioactivity in combination with NTs may generate a potent reparative microenvironment.
