Abstract:
:The effect of factors released from N2A neuroblastoma cells on the expression of myelin protein genes in glioma C6 cells, i.e., proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), was studied. Both cells lines were propagated in serum-free DMEM-F10 (1:1) medium. The addition of 50% N2A conditioned medium (N2ACM) stimulated the proliferation of C6 cells by approximately 4.5 fold as compared to control cells. The N2ACM-treated cells formed aggregates indicating increased cell-cell affinity. The exposure of C6 cells to N2ACM transiently stimulated the expression of both the MAG-specific and the PLP-specific messages up to eight and four fold over the control values, respectively. The maximal upregulation of the PLP gene occurred two days after N2ACM administration and preceded that of the MAG gene by two days. The effect of N2ACM was dose-dependent in the range of 12.5 to 50%. The secretion of N2A paracrine factors that stimulated the myelin gene expression was also time-dependent. The optimal conditioning time for the release of the PLP gene-stimulating activity was one day, while the maximal MAG gene-stimulating activity was found in the medium conditioned for 3 days. This cellular system may provide a convenient model for studies on trophic neuronal-glial interaction. Furthermore, the results indicate a difference in the regulatory mechanisms between the PLP and the MAG genes.
