Ubiquitin-Binding Protein p62 Expression Is Induced during Apoptosis and Proteasomal Inhibition in Neuronal Cells

Abstract

Neuronal apoptosis is involved in several pathological conditions of the brain. Using cDNA arrays, we observed upregulation of ubiquitin-binding protein p62 expression during serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis in Neuro-2a cells. We demonstrate here that the expression levels of p62 mRNA and protein were increased in Neuro-2a cells and cultured rat hippocampal neurons by different types of proapoptotic treatments, including serum deprivation, okadaic acid, etoposide, and trichostatin A. Ubiquitin-binding protein p62 is a widely expressed cytoplasmic protein of unclear function. The ability of p62 to bind noncovalently to ubiquitin and to several signalling proteins suggests that p62 may play a regulatory role connected to the ubiquitin system. Accordingly, we show that proteasomal inhibitors MG-132, lactacystin, and PSI caused a prominent upregulation of p62 mRNA and protein expression, with a concomitant increase in ubiquitinated proteins. To conclude, p62 upregulation appears to be a common event in neuronal apoptosis. Results also suggest that the induction of p62 expression by proteasomal inhibitors may be a response to elevated levels of ubiquitinated proteins, possibly constituting a protective mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
