Transfection with trk restores "slow" NGF binding, efficient NGF uptake, and multiple NGF responses to NGF-nonresponsive PC12 cell mutants

NGF binds to and activates the protein tyrosine kinase gp 140prototrk.
Expression of this receptor is required for at least some responses to NGF.
Three outstanding issues are addressed in the present work. First, we
determined whether expression of gp 140prototrk is required for all
neuronal NGF responses. Second, we examined the role of gp 140prototrk in
NGF binding and internalization. Third, we addressed the utility of
NGF-nonresponsive PC12nnr5 cells for study of the NGF mechanism. In
contrast to wild-type PC12 cells, PC12nnr5 cells do not express endogenous
gp 140prototrk. We therefore asked whether they possess other defects that
compromise NGF signaling pathways. To answer these questions, we
transfected PC12nnr5 cells with a cDNA encoding full- length human gp
140prototrk and isolated cell lines permanently expressing the receptor.
Introduction of trk rescued all of the many and varied NGF responses
assessed, including enhanced protein tyrosine phosphorylation, induction of
immediate-early and neural-specific genes, neurite outgrowth and
regeneration, maintenance of survival in serum-free medium, and stimulation
of AChE activity. In contrast to PC12nnr5 cells, the trk-transfected lines
also bind and internalize NGF with wild-type PC12 cell characteristics.
These findings indicate that gp 140prototrk is required for many, if not
all, responses of neuronal cells to NGF and is necessary for proper NGF
binding and internalization. Additionally, as no signaling defect other
than the absence of trk expression was revealed in PC12nnr5 cells, this
work supports the utility of this line for genetic dissection of the NGF
mechanism of action.
