Downregulation of LAR tyrosine phosphatase prevents apoptosis and augments NGF-induced neurite outgrowth
Downregulation of LAR tyrosine phosphatase prevents apoptosis and augments NGF-induced neurite outgrowth JOURNAL OF NEUROBIOLOGY Tisi, M. A., Xie, Y. M., Yeo, T. T., Longo, F. M. 2000; 42 (4): 477-486Abstract
The identity of the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) regulating cell death and responses to neurotrophins during neural development remain unknown. To determine if the leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) PTP regulates these processes, PC12 cells were made LAR-deficient via stable transfection with an LAR antisense transgene. LAR-deficient cells demonstrated a stable novel phenotype, including a two-fold increase in nerve growth factor- but not fibroblast growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth. Upon serum-deprivation, LAR-deficient cells exhibited a two- to three-fold decrease in cell death. The findings that an endogenous PTP promotes cell death and counter-regulates neurotrophin actions introduce a major new receptor gene family to neurotrophic processes and suggest novel strategies for preventing cell death and augmenting neurotrophin function.
