摘要: 神经元死亡是朊病毒病的主要病理学特征。朊蛋白多肽PrP106-126能够对神经细胞表现神经毒性,引起细胞凋亡。细胞表面蛋白神经营养因子受体p75NTR的胞外区域可以与PrP106-126结合并产生促凋亡作用。作者以小鼠成神经瘤细胞N2a为细胞模型,应用荧光定量RT-PCR和Western Blot技术,以及DNA Ladder和Annexin V-FITC / PI双重染色流式细胞凋亡检测技术对p75NTR介导的PrP106-126神经毒性分子机制进行了研究。结果发现在PrP106-126诱导的N2a细胞凋亡过程中,p75NTR的mRNA转录水平和蛋白表达水平均显著升高,以p75NTR多克隆抗体sc-6189阻断PrP 106-126与p75NTR的相互作用后,减弱了PrP106-126诱导的N2a细胞凋亡效果。该研究揭示了PrP106-126诱导的N2a细胞毒性中p75NTR受体的表达变化,为解释朊病毒病的发病机制提供了重要数据。

Abstract: Neuronal death is a pathological hallmark of prion diseases. Synthetic prion peptide PrP106-126 can cause neurotoxicity and induce apoptosis in neuronal cells. Extracellular region of neurotrophin receptor p75NTR, a cell surface protein, could bind to PrP106-126 and has apoptotic effect on neurons. Using quantitative RT-PCR, Western Blot technique, DNA Ladder assay, and flow cytometry (FCM) assay with Annexin V-FITC/PI doublestained, we investigated the p75NTRmediated neurotoxicity by PrP106126 in mouse neuroblastoma cells N2a. The results showed that in PrP106126-induced apoptosis of N2a cells, p75NTR expression was significantly upregulated at mRNA and protein levels, and blocking the interaction of p75NTR with PrP 106-126 by p75NTR polyclone antibody sc-6189 attenuated the apoptotic effect induced by PrP106-126. This study showed that mRNA and protein expression of receptor p75NTR were altered in PrP106-126-induced neurotoxicity of N2a cells, and this may partially account for the pathogenesis of prion disease.
