- Abstract
- Signaling of growth factors may depend on the recruitment of their receptors to specialized microdomains. Previous reports on PC12 cells indicated an interaction of raft-organized caveolin and TrkA signaling. Because porcine oligodendrocytes (OLs) respond to nerve growth factor (NGF), we were interested to know whether caveolin also plays a role in oligodendroglial NGF/TrkA signaling. OLs expressed caveolin at the plasma membrane but also intracellularly. This was partially organized in the classically Q-shaped invaginations, which may represent caveolae. We could show that caveolin and TrkA colocalize by using a discontinuous sucrose gradient (Song et al. [1996] J. Biol. Chem. 271:9690-9697), MACS technology, and immunoprecipitation. However, differential extraction of caveolin and TrkA with Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C indicated that caveolin and TrkA are probably not exclusively present in detergent-resistant, caveolin-containing rafts (CCRs). NGF treatment of OLs up-regulated the expression of caveolin-1 (cav-1) and stimulated tyrosine-14 phosphorylation of cav-1. Furthermore, OLs were transfected with cav-1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). A knockdown of cav-1 resulted in a reduced activation of downstream components of the NGF signaling cascade, such as p21Ras and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) after NGF exposure of OLs. Subsequently, increased oligodendroglial process formation via NGF was impaired. The present study indicates that CCRs/caveolin could play a modulating role during oligodendroglial differentiation and regeneration. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
