Abstract
A murine model of motoneuron disease, the pmn/pmn mouse, shows a reduction in the retrograde transport of fluorescent probes applied directly onto the cut end of sciatic nerve. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), when co-applied with fluorescent tracers, increases the number of retrograde labelled motoneurons. We demonstrate here that spinal cord tissue from pmn/pmn mice had significantly reduced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity and expression in the particulate fraction compared to controls, without changes in the activities or expression of the downstream kinases, protein kinase B/Akt or Erk1. Systemic administration of BDNF augmented phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase specific activity in spinal cord tissue from pmn/pmn and control mice, with a greater elevation in the particulate fractions of pmn/pmn mice than in controls. We examined the effect of inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase on the retrograde labelling of motoneurons, 24h following the direct application of inhibitors and Fluorogold to the cut end of sciatic nerve in control and pmn/pmn mice (labelling index). The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD 98059 had no effect on the labelling inde...Continue Reading
