Slitrk5 Mediates BDNF-Dependent TrkB Receptor Trafficking and Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies in humans and in genetic mouse models have identified Slit- and NTRK-like family (Slitrks) as candidate genes for neuropsychiatric disorders. All Slitrk isotypes are highly expressed in the CNS, where they mediate neurite outgrowth, synaptogenesis, and neuronal survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these functions are not known. Here, we report that Slitrk5 modulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-dependent biological responses through direct interaction with TrkB receptors. Under basal conditions, Slitrk5 interacts primarily with a transsynaptic binding partner, protein tyrosine phosphatase ? (PTP?); however, upon BDNF stimulation, Slitrk5 shifts to cis-interactions with TrkB. In the absence of Slitrk5, TrkB has a reduced rate of ligand-dependent recycling and altered responsiveness to BDNF treatment. Structured illumination microscopy revealed that Slitrk5 mediates optimal targeting of TrkB receptors to Rab11-positive recycling endosomes through recruitment of a Rab11 effector protein, Rab11-FIP3. Thus, Slitrk5 acts as a TrkB co-receptor that mediates its BDNF-dependent trafficking and signaling.

Project description:Objective Previous studies of neuropathic pain have suggested that the P2X4 purinoceptor (P2X4R) in spinal microglia is essential for maintaining allodynia following nerve injury. However, little is known about its role in inflammatory soup-induced trigeminal allodynia, which closely mimics chronic migraine status. Here, we determined the contributions of P2X4R and related signaling pathways in an inflammatory soup-induced trigeminal allodynia model. Methods P2X4R gene and protein levels in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis were analyzed following repeated dural inflammatory soup infusions. p38, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, excitatory amino acid transporter 3, c-Fos, and calcitonin gene-related peptide protein levels in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis, as well as trigeminal sensitivity, were assessed among the different groups. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect protein localization and expression in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. Results Repeated inflammatory dural stimulation induced trigeminal hyperalgesia and the upregulation of P2X4R. Immunofluorescence revealed that P2X4R was expressed in trigeminal nucleus caudalis microglial cells. Blockage of P2X4R produced an anti-nociceptive effect, which was associated with an inhibition of inflammatory soup-induced increases in p38, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, excitatory amino acid transporter 3, c-Fos, and calcitonin gene-related peptide protein levels. The tyrosine receptor kinase B antagonist ANA-12 reversed trigeminal allodynia and the upregulation of excitatory amino acid transporter 3, c-Fos, and calcitonin gene-related peptide, whereas the agonist 7,8-dihydroxyflavone exacerbated these effects. Double immunostaining indicated that p38 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were mainly expressed in microglial cells, whereas excitatory amino acid transporter 3 was primarily expressed in trigeminal nucleus caudalis neurons. Conclusions These data indicate that microglial P2X4R is involved in the regulation of excitatory amino acid transporter 3 via brain-derived neurotrophic factor-tyrosine receptor kinase B signaling following repeated inflammatory dural stimulation. Microglial P2X4R activation and microglia-neuron interactions in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis may play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine chronicity, and the modulation of P2X4R activation might be a potential therapeutic strategy.
