Project description:RNAseq data indicate that in the human brain, most neurons co-express the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptor TrkB and the Neurotrophin-3 (NT3) receptor TrkC. Because NT3 can also activate TrkB and TrkB is expressed at higher levels compared with TrkC, it has been difficult thus far to explore TrkC-mediated signaling. To this end, neurons were generated from human embryonic stem cells lacking the BDNF receptor TrkB using CRISPR/Cas9. These neurons were found to respond to very low concentrations of NT3, lower than the concentrations of BDNF needed to activate TrkB. In order to compare the transcriptional changes following treatment with NT3 RNA-seq analysis was performed and the results compared with those previously obtained following treatment of wild-type neurons with BDNF Merkouris et al. PMID: 29987039. The results indicate that downstream of TrkC activation, most of the changes in gene expression are similar to those seen after TrkB activation. The results also show that exposure to sub-saturating concentrations of either BDNF or NT3 does not cause receptor downregulation as seen with saturating ligand concentrations and that the receptors can be re-activated.

Project description:During embryogenesis, nociceptive sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia depend intimately on Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for neuronal survival, maturation and target innervation. NGF is a secreted molecular signal synthesized by neuronal target tissues. In developing nociceptors, NGF engages the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA to activate a gene transcriptional program involving the regulation of hundreds of transcripts. To identify NGF-dependent genes in developing mouse nociceptors, we have designed and performed two separate microarray screens to compare gene expression profiles of DRG neurons either with or lacking NGF signaling. For the first screen comparing DRGs of BaxM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R and NgfM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R; BaxM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R mice, DRGs were dissected and pooled from E14.5 NgfM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R; BaxM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R and BaxM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R embryos. Total RNA was extracted and directly subjected to microarray analysis. For the second screen comparing mouse DRG explants grown in the presence or absence of NGF, E13.5 mouse DRG explants were cultured for two days with 50 ng/ml of either NGF or NT3. Total RNA was extracted and then subjected to microarray analysis.

Project description:Neurotrophins are growth factors that are known to have a role in promoting cell survival and differentiation. The focus of the current study is to examine the role of neurotrophins in regulating ovarian primordial follicle development. Ovaries from 4-day old rats were placed into organ culture and cultured for 10 days in the absence or presence of neurotrophin-3 (NT3), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or nerve growth factor (NGF). Treatment of ovaries with NT3 resulted in a significant (P<0.01) increase in primordial follicle development (i.e. primordial to primary follicle transition). Treatment with BDNF at high doses of 100â250 ng/ml also significantly (P<0.01) increased primordial follicle development, but NGF had no effect. Immunohistochemical studies determined that NT3 was present in granulosa cells, interstitial tissue, and in the oocytes of primordial and primary follicles. The NT3 receptor NTRK3 was present in oocytes at all stages of development. Analysis of ovaries that contain predominantly primordial follicles demonstrated the transcripts for NT3, NTRK3, NGF, and the BDNF/neurotrophin-4 (NT4) receptor NTRK2 are expressed, while BDNF, NT4, and the NGF receptor NTRK1 are not detectable. Inhibition of the NTRK3 receptor with the tyrophostin AG 879 resulted in oocyte death and a significant (P<0.01) reduction in follicle pool size. Inhibition of the NTRK receptors with K252a slowed primordial to primary follicle transition. A microarray analysis demonstrated that a small number of genes were differentially expressed after NT3 treatment. Observations indicate that the neurotrophin NT3, acting through the NTRK3 receptor in oocytes, promotes the primordial to primary follicle transition. Reproduction (2009) 138, pp. 697-707 We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially between control and NT3 (neurotrophin-3) treated P4 ovary. RNA samples from 3 control groups are compared to 3 NT3 treated ovary groups.

Project description:We report that developmental competition between sympathetic neurons for survival is critically dependent on a sensitization process initiated by target innervation and mediated by a series of feedback loops. Target-derived nerve growth factor (NGF) promoted expression of its receptor TrkA in neurons and prolonged TrkA-mediated signals. NGF also controlled expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT4), which, through the receptor p75, can kill neighboring neurons with low retrograde NGFâ??TrkA signaling whereas neurons with high NGFâ??TrkA signaling are protected. Perturbation of any of these feedback loops disrupts the dynamics of competition. We suggest that three target-initiated events are essential for rapid and robust competition between neurons: sensitization, paracrine apoptotic signaling, and protection from such effects. Experiment Overall Design: This experiment examine gene expression differences in superior cervical ganglia fro P0 bax null versus NGF-Bax double null animals. The Bax genotype was used in order to prevent the neuronal cell death normally observed in the NGF null animal.

Project description:Nerve growth factor (NGF) pays a role in neuronal differentiation and may also play a role in hematopoietic differentiation as shown by synergistic action for the colony formation of CD34 positive hematopoietic progenitor cells treated with M-CSF or SCF. However, the exact role of NGF in hematopoietic system is unclear. It is also not clear whether NGF mediated signals in hematopoietic cells are identical to those in neuronal cells. To study the signal transduction pathways induced by NGF treatment in hematopoietic cells, we utilized the mastocytoma cell line HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) which expresses the NGF receptor, TrkA, as well as the constitutively activated SCF receptor, V560G c-Kit, which can be inhibited by treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate. NGF rescues HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) from imatinib induced cell death and promotes proliferation. To examine the NGF mediated proliferation and survival in these cells, we compared the NGF mediated upregulated genes (30 and 120 min after stimulation) to the downregulated genes by imatinib treatment (downregulation of c-Kit activity for 4 h) by transcriptome analysis. The following conclusions can be drawn from the microarray data: Firstly, gene expression profiling reaveals 50% overlap of genes induced by NGF-TrkA with genes expressed downstream of V560G c-Kit. Secondly, NGF treatment does not enhance expression of genes involved in immune related functions that were down modulated by imatinib. Thirdly, more than 55% of common upregulated genes are involved in cell proliferation and survival. Forthly, we found KLF2 and SMAD7 as the NGF mediated novel down stream genes in hematopoietic cells that may play a role in NGF mediated survival signal in HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) cells. Keywords: Transcriptome analysis - comparison of TrkA and V560G c-Kit downstream genes in HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) cells In total, 4 samples were analyzed, one of which served as a common reference (HMC1 17h SerumStarv 4h Imatinib). This sample was labeled with Cy3. All additional samples were labeled with Cy5 and were cohybridized against the common reference. The first hybridization (M2370) represents a self-self-hybridization using the common reference.

Project description:Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin3 (NT-3) bind to tyrosine kinase (Trk) receptors, TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, respectively. This study investigated the efficacy of novel molecule agonists of Trk receptors in an in vivo model of dry eye disease. Compared to vehicle, mice subjected to desiccating stress and treated with agonists pan and C1 showed improved corneal barrier function, while C1 also increased GC densities. NanoString analyses revealed upregulation of specific mRNA transcripts (Ptger4, Tnfaip3, Il1a and Ptger4, Tlr3, Osal1) in pan and C1 treated corneas compared to vehicle-treated corneas. Western blots showed pan and C1 decreased vehicle-induced NFkB nuclear translocation after DS for one day and increased PTGER4 and TNFAIP3 protein levels after 5 days of DS in corneal epithelium lysates. These results were confirmed by immunostaining using antibodies for TNFAIP3 and PTGER4 in wholemount corneas. We conclude that small-molecule agonists of Trk receptors improve dry eye disease by decreasing NFkB activation and increasing protein expression of anti-inflammatory molecules TNFAIP3 and PTGER4. Surprisingly, the most efficacious small molecule agonists were not TrkA selective, but TrkC and panTrk, suggesting that wider exploration of TrkB and C and pan Trk agonists are warranted in efforts to treat dry eye disease.
