• W2008485795 abstract "Neural progenitor cells are multipotent cells which retain the ability to self-renew and differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in culture.1 Neural stem cells have been identified not only in the developing brain but also in the adult nervous system of mammals, including humans.2 Within the adult central nervous system two areas, the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the hippocampal subgranular zone, are characterized by the presence of dividing cells that possess the ability to differentiate into neural lineages. When exposed to a high concentration of mitogens such as fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) or epidermal growth factor (EGF), the primary cells extracted from those areas of the brain are promoted to proliferate in culture preserving the undifferentiated state.3,4Fibroblast growth factor-2 has pleiotropic effects on the embryonic and adult nervous system5,6 and recently our group has identified a novel regulatory pathway orchestrated by FGF2 and resulting in the upregulation of the co-chaperone BAG3 in SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cell line.7 BAG3 is an 80 KDa protein characterized by interaction with a variety of partners such as Hsp-70 and Bcl-2 and its expression has been linked to the regulation of cellular events including cell survival and apoptosis.8 Earlier studies have demonstrated that brain injuries such as ischemia and kainic-acid induced seizures correlate with an induced expression of BAG3 in the damaged area.9,10 Nevertheless, the role of BAG3 in the central nervous system has not yet been elucidated, particularly in terms of proliferation and survival.These speculations prompted us to examine the level of BAG3 expression in adult rat hippocampal neural progenitors. As shown in Figure 1A (lane 1), passage 25 neural progenitor cells, isolated from hippocampus and characterized elsewhere,1 expressed BAG3 protein at moderate levels when cultured in Neurobasal medium supplemented with N2 plus FGF2. When cells were subjected to FGF2-starvation, BAG3 expression dropped by 60% (lane 2). The addition of FGF2 to culture media devoid of the growth factor restored the basal level of BAG3 (lane 3), suggesting that FGF2 sustains BAG3 expression in neural progenitor cells. This data is in accordance with earlier observations on SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells.7 The overnight FGF2 starvation, though, did not change the neural progenitor features of the cells, as verified by qPCR analysis of the markers of stemness (SOX2 and Nestin) and neural lineages (type III β-tubulin, GFAP, O4) (data not shown).Figure 1(A) FGF2 sustains BAG3 protein levels and impacts the proliferation of neural progenitor cells. Western blot analysis of total lysates from adult hippocampus-derived neural progenitor cells (passage number 25) cultured in neurobasal medium (NM) containing ...As FGF2 plays an important role in the proliferation of neural progenitors, we sought to investigate the impact of FGF2-driven BAG3 expression on the growth rate of neural stem cells. To this end cells were treated with an adenovirus expressing siRNAs targeting the BAG3 mRNA and three days after infection protein analysis and cell number were measured. As shown in Figure 1B, treatment of neural progenitor cells with Ad-siBAG3, but not Ad-null, suppressed BAG3 expression in the presence of FGF2. Accordingly, reduced level of BAG3 determined a decrease in the cell number greater than 45%, indicating that BAG3 does have a role in the proliferation rate of neural progenitor cells.In the next series of experiments we investigated the potential of the mitogens FGF2 and EGF to stimulate BAG3 expression in secondary neurospheres extracted from the developing brain of mouse embryo. As described previuosly,11 primary neurospheres are non-adherent spherical structrures mainly constituted of nestin-positive cells (neural stem cells) which maintain their primitive ontogenetic state when cultured in presence of mitogens such as FGF2 and EGF, and in the absence of substrate attachment.Secondary neurospheres were obtained as described in the Figure legend. After a 10 h starvation from growth factors, the cells were readministrated with FGF2 or EGF or FGF2/EGF added together. As shown in Figure 1C, the level of 80 KDa BAG3 protein was undetectable when secondary neurospheres were starved from mitogens (lane 1). 48 h after readministration, BAG3 expression was noticeably induced at comparable levels either in FGF2- (lane 2), EGF- (lane 3) or EGF/FGF2-treated cells (lane 4).To confirm that the stimulatory effect of FGF2 on BAG3 expression occurred in nestin-positive cells, secondary neurospheres starved of growth factors (left part) or readministrated with FGF2 (right part) were double labeled with BAG3 antibody and the progenitor marker nestin antibody (Fig. 1D). According to western blot data, mitogen-starved neural progenitors display undetectable BAG3 levels in nestin positive cells, while Rhodamine-labeled BAG3 antibody colacalizes with FITC-labeled nestin antibody in FGF2-treated cells. These observations confirm that BAG3 induction upon FGF2 treatment is also detected in cultures of neural progenitor cells at early passage number.Our data support the evidence that FGF2 sustains BAG3 expression in rat neural progenitor cells, as indicated by decrease in BAG3 levels upon FGF-2 starvation. In SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells FGF2-driven BAG3 upregulation impacts on the G2/M cell cycle phase transition.7 Accordingly, targeted suppression of BAG3 by siRNA reduced neural progenitor cell number (Fig. 1B). Nevertheless, the mechanism underlying this event still remains to be elucidated.The BAG3 level in the brain has a low expression profile. Moreover there are no major phenotypical alterations described in the BAG3-KO mouse brain.12 In light of these considerations, BAG3 does not seem to be essential for the CNS development. In adulthood, though, stem cells play an essential homeostatic role in replacing differentiated cells that are lost following physiological turnover, injury or disease. Brain injuries such as ischemia and seizures correlate with BAG3 overexpression in the damaged area.9,10 From this point of view BAG3 seem to have a more relevant role in response to stress in adulthood." @default.
