Abstract：
:Muscle spindles are sensory receptors composed of specialized muscle fibers, known as intrafusal muscle fibers, along with the endings of sensory neuron axons that innervate these muscle fibers. Formation of muscle spindles requires neuregulin1 (NRG1), which is released by sensory axons, activating ErbB receptors in muscle cells that are contacted. The transcription factor Egr3 is transcriptionally induced by NRG1, which in turn activates various target genes involved in forming intrafusal fibers. We have previously shown that, in cultured muscle cells, NRG1 signaling activates the Egr3 gene through SRF and CREB, which bind to a composite regulatory element, and that NRG1 signaling targets SRF by stimulating nuclear translocation of SRF coactivators myocardin-related transcription factor (MRTF)-A and MRTF-B and targets CREB by phosphorylation. The current studies examined signaling relays that might function in the NRG1 pathway upstream of SRF and CREB. We found that transcriptional induction of Egr3 in response to NRG1 requires the MAP kinase Erk1/2, which acts upstream of CREB to induce its phosphorylation. MRTFs are targeted by the Rho-actin pathway, yet in the absence of Rho-actin signaling, even though MRTFs fail to be translocated to the nucleus, NRG1 induces Egr3 transcription. In mouse muscle in vivo, activation of Erk1/2 is enhanced selectively where muscle spindles are located. These results suggest that Erk1/2 acts in intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles to induce transcription of Egr3 and that Egr3 induction occurs independently of MRTFs and involves Erk1/2 acting on other transcriptional regulatory targets that interact with the SRF-CREB regulatory element.
