Abstract:
:The low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor p75NTR belongs to a membrane receptor superfamily whose members, in certain cell types, are able to transduce an apoptotic signal. To investigate the effect of p75NTR expression in neuroblastoma cells, we transfected the p75NTR cDNA into SK-N-BE cells, a neuroblastoma cell line that lacks expression of both p75NTR and TrkA. Cell clones expressing elevated levels of p75NTR showed a high degree of cell death by apoptosis, even in serum-supplemented medium. Moreover, the level of apoptosis correlated directly with the expression level of the receptor, indicating that p75NTR could activate the cell death program by itself. Clones expressing p75NTR showed a dramatic increase of cell death when switched into serum-free medium; these cultures rapidly extinguished. This apoptotic effect was greatly inhibited by NGF treatment. Our results support the hypothesis that p75NTR, when it is not bound by NGF, may play a role in neuronal selection during embryonic development and suggest that neuroblastomas may arise from immature neuroblasts that escape programmed cell death. Therefore, the loss of p75NTR expression in developing neural crest cells might be a primary event in the genesis of neuroblastoma.
