摘要

Multiple influences guide the development of nerve cells from undifferentiated stem cells to fully functioning neurons. One influence in this process is the modulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, which signals through the enzyme Ca2+/Calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) to regulate a variety of cellular events. There are four isoforms of CaMKII, with numerous splice variants. At least three of these splice variants contain nuclear localization signals that direct the protein to the nucleus; the rest remain cytoplasmic or target to other subcellular locations. Cytoplasmic CaMKII has been implicated in several aspects of neuronal development, but little is known about the role of nuclear-localized CaMKII in this process. In order to understand the mechanisms controlling neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth, PC12 cells were transfected with transgenes coding for CaMKII, targeted to concentrate in either the cytoplasm or the nucleus. These cells were then treated with nerve growth factor (NGF) or cAMP.; When NGF binds to its receptor, it triggers a signaling cascade (MAPK) that ultimately results in the differentiation of PC12 cells into a neuronal phenotype, marked by extensive neurite outgrowth. This work found that PC12 cells expressing CaMKII in the nucleus failed to grow neurites in response to NGF, while cells expressing cytoplasmic CaMKII readily grew them. The inhibited neuronal differentiation was independent of MAPK activation, as sustained phosphorylation of Erk was not affected by the presence of either nuclear or cytoplasmic CaMKII. Nor did it arise from changes in phosphorylation of the transcription factor CREB, an important downstream mediator of NGF signaling.; PC12 cells also produce neurite-like processes in response to increasing intracellular cAMP. In contrast to NGF-induced neurites, the formation of cAMP-induced processes was not inhibited by nuclear CaMKII, but was inhibited by cytoplasmic CaMKII. The mechanisms by which cAMP and NGF stimulate their respective processes are believed to be different; cAMP is thought to work by causing rapid, transient rearrangements of the cytoskeleton while NGF induces neuronal differentiation. When applied simultaneously, NGF and cAMP have a synergistic affect on inducing neurite outgrowth. This synergism was seen in cell lines expressing either cytoplasmic or nuclear CaMKII, as well as control cells. Taken together, this data indicates that PC12 cells with nuclear CaMKII are capable of extending neurites, but the signaling mechanism for neuronal differentiation is blocked in a manner that can be compensated for by increasing intracellular cAMP.
