The role of integrin-linked kinase (ILK), a kinase that is involved
in various cellular processes, including adhesion and migration, has
not been studied in primary neurons. Using mRNA dot blot and Western
blot analysis of ILK in rat and human brain tissue, we found that ILK
is expressed in various regions of the CNS. Immunohistochemical
and immunocytochemical techniques revealed granular ILK staining that
is enriched in neurons and colocalizes with the 1 integrin subunit.
The role of ILK in neurite growth promotion by NGF was studied in rat
pheochromocytoma cells and dorsal root ganglion neurons using a
pharmacological inhibitor of ILK (KP-392) or after overexpression of
dominant-negative ILK (ILK-DN). Both molecular and pharmacological
inhibition of ILK activity significantly reduced NGF-induced neurite
outgrowth. Survival assays indicate that KP-392-induced suppression of
neurite outgrowth occurred in the absence of cell death. ILK kinase
activity was stimulated by NGF. NGF-mediated stimulation of
phosphorylation of both AKT and the Tau kinase
glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) was inhibited in the presence of
KP-392 and after overexpression of ILK-DN. Consequently, ILK inhibition
resulted in an increase in the hyperphosphorylation of
Tau, a substrate of GSK-3. Together these findings
indicate that ILK is an important effector in NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth.
