Cd44 Enhances Neuregulin Signaling by Schwann Cells
We describe a key role for the CD44 transmembrane glycoprotein in Schwann cell-neuron interactions. CD44 proteins have been implicated in cell adhesion and in the presentation of growth factors to high affinity receptors. We observed high CD44 expression in early rat neonatal nerves at times when Schwann cells proliferate but low expression in adult nerves, where CD44 was found in some nonmyeli...
متن کاملAxonal regulation of myelination by neuregulin 1.
Neuregulins comprise a family of epidermal growth factor-like ligands that interact with ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases to control many aspects of neural development. One of the most dramatic effects of neuregulin-1 is on glial cell differentiation. The membrane-bound neuregulin-1 type III isoform is an axonal ligand for glial ErbB receptors that regulates the early Schwann cell lineage, includ...
متن کاملAxonal neuregulin-1 regulates myelin sheath thickness.
In the nervous system of vertebrates, myelination is essential for rapid and accurate impulse conduction. Myelin thickness depends on axon fiber size. We use mutant and transgenic mouse lines to show that axonal Neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) signals information about axon size to Schwann cells. Reduced Nrg1 expression causes hypomyelination and reduced nerve conduction velocity. Neuronal overexpression o...
متن کاملAxonal Neuregulin Signals Cells of the Oligodendrocyte Lineage through Activation of HER4 and Schwann Cells through HER2 and HER3
We are interested in the signaling between axons and glia that leads to myelination and maintenance of the myelin internode, and we have focused on the role of neuregulins and their receptors. Neuregulins are a family of ligands that includes heregulin, neu differentiation factor, glial growth factor, and the acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity. Three signal transducing transmembrane recep...
