We have asked whether p75NTR may play a role in
neuronal apoptosis by producing transgenic mice that express the
p75NTR intracellular domain within peripheral and
central neurons. These animals showed profound reductions in numbers of
sympathetic and peripheral sensory neurons as well as cell loss in the
neocortex, where there is normally little or no
p75NTR expression. Developmental loss of facial
motor neurons was not observed, but induced expression of the
p75NTR intracellular domain within adult animals led
to increased motor neuron death after axotomy. Biochemical analyses
suggest that these effects were not attributable to a
p75NTR-dependent reduction in trk activation but
instead indicate that the p75NTR intracellular
domain may act as a constitutive activator of signaling cascades that
regulate apoptosis in both peripheral and central neurons.
