چکیده
Retinoic acid (RA) induces neural differentiation of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. We show that the mRNA levels of the differentiation-inhibiting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors ID1, ID2, and ID3 are down-regulated during RA-induced differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells. The levels of ID proteins decreased in parallel to the observed transcriptional repression. The expression of other basic helix-loop-helix genes changed during RA-induced differentiation: expression of neuroblast-specific ASCL1 (HASH-1) gene was promptly reduced after RA treatment, whereas expression of differentiation-promoting genes NEUROD6 (NEX-1, HATH-2) and NEUROD1 was increased. Treatments with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, another inducer of neuroblastoma cell differentiation, also resulted in coordinated down-regulation of ID gene expression, underscoring the role of ID genes in differentiation. Down-regulation of ID gene expression by RA involves a complex mechanism because full transcriptional repression required newly synthesized proteins and signaling by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). RA treatment activates the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, resulting in increased PI3K activity in extracts from RA-treated cells and a rapid increase in phosphorylation of Akt in Ser-473. Inhibition of PI3K by LY294002 impaired RA-induced differentiation, as assessed by morphological and biochemical criteria. We propose that RA, by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal cell survival.

Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y is a dopaminergic neuronal cell line which has been used as an in vitro model for neurotoxicity experiments. Although the neuroblastoma is usually differentiated by all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), both RA-differentiated and undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells have been used in neuroscience research. However, the changes in neuronal properties triggered by RA as well as the ...

Retinoic acid (RA) treatment of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells results in activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway, and this activation is required for RA-induced differentiation. Here we show that RA activates PI3K and ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathways through a rapid, nongenomic mechanism that does not require new gene transcription or newly synthesized proteins. Activat...

Retinoic acid (RA) induces the differentiation of many cell lines, including those derived from neuroblastoma. RA treatment of SH-SY5Y cells induces the appearance of functional Trk B and Trk C receptors. Acute stimulation of RA-predifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 3 (NT-3), or neurotrophin 4/5 (NT-4/5), but not nerve growth factor (NGF), i...
