The survival of central neurons depends on multiple neurotrophic
factors produced by different cell types. We demonstrate that media
conditioned by muscle and Schwann cell lines show strong synergistic
effects on survival of purified embryonic day 14.5 rat motoneurons in
culture. Different lines of evidence implicate glial cell line-derived
neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) in this synergy.
Their expression in the environment of the motoneuron is
compartmentalized: gdnf transcripts are expressed principally in Schwann cell lines, whereas ct-1 mRNA is
present in myotubes. Blocking antibodies to GDNF inhibit the trophic
activity of Schwann cell line-conditioned media by 75%, whereas CT-1
antibodies diminish the myotube-derived activity by 46%. CT-1 and GDNF
act synergistically to enhance motoneuron survival in
vitro. In vivo, individual motoneurons coexpress
both GDNF and CT-1 receptor components. GDNF and CT-1, therefore, are
major components of the trophic support provided by the Schwann and
muscle cells, respectively. The possibility that they act together on
individual motoneurons suggests that the motoneuron must integrate
distinct signals from different cellular partners when deciding whether
to die or to survive.
Key words:
motoneuron survival; neurotrophic factors; synergy; GDNF; cardiotrophin-1; CNTF; Schwann cells; muscle cells; blocking
antibodies; in situ hybridization
