Comparative signaling pathways of insulin-like growth factor-1 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in hippocampal neurons and the role of the PI3 kinase pathway in cell survival
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are trophic factors required for the viability and normal functions of various neuronal cells. However, the detailed intracellular mechanism(s) involved in these effects in neuronal cells remains to be fully elucidated. In present study, the respective intracellular signaling pathway induced by IGF-1 and BDNF and their possible role in neuronal survival were investigated. Both IGF-1 and BDNF protected hippocampal neurons from serum deprivation-induced death with IGF-1 apparently being more potent. Western blot analyses showed that both IGF-1 and BDNF induced the activation of the phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase (PI3)/Akt (protein kinase B) kinase and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. The phosphorylation of Akt and its downstream target, FKHRL1, induced by IGF-1 was rapid and sustained while that of MAPK was transient. The reverse situation was observed for BDNF. Moreover, IGF-1 potently induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and its association with PI3 kinase while BDNF was weak in these assays. In contrast, the tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc proteins was dramatically stimulated by BDNF, with IGF-1 having only a minimal effect. Most interestingly, only the inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt pathway, LY294002, was able to block the survival effects of both IGF-1 and BDNF; an inhibitor of the MAPK pathway inhibitor, PD98059, being ineffective. Taken together, these data reveal that the survival properties of both IGF-1 and BDNF against serum deprivation are mediated by the activation of the PI3K/Akt, but not the MAPK, pathway in hippocampal neurons.

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.
