The effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) on beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene expression was investigated in cultured rat C6 glioma cells and human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. CNTF increased APP mRNA abundance in C6 glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner, with an approximately 3-fold increase in maximum observed after 24 h with a concentration of 1 ng/ml. However, no significant differences in the splicing pattern of the three major isoforms of APP mRNA were apparent between control and CNTF-treated C6 glioma cells. CNTF had no effect on APP mRNA abundance in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. These findings suggest that CNTF can modulate APP mRNA expression and might affect amyloidogenesis in Alzheimer's disease.
在培养的大鼠C6胶质瘤细胞和人SH-SY5Y神经母细胞瘤细胞中研究了睫状神经营养因子(CNTF)对β-淀粉样前体蛋白(APP)基因表达的影响。CNTF以剂量依赖的方式增加C6胶质瘤细胞中APP mRNA的丰度,在浓度为1 ng/ml处理24小时后,最大可观察到约3倍的增加。然而,在对照和CNTF处理的C6胶质瘤细胞之间,APP mRNA三种主要异构体的剪接模式没有明显差异。CNTF对SH-SY5Y神经母细胞瘤细胞中APP mRNA丰度没有影响。这些发现表明,CNTF可以调节APP mRNA表达,并可能影响阿尔茨海默病中的淀粉样蛋白生成。
