In this study, we investigated the role of TET proteins in neuronal differentiation using Neuro2a cells as a model. We observed that knockdown of TET1, TET2 or TET3 promoted neuronal differentiation of Neuro2a cells, and their overexpression inhibited VPA (valproic acid)-induced neuronal differentiation, suggesting all three TET proteins negatively regulate neu- ronal differentiation of Neuro2a cells. Interestingly, the inducing activity of TET protein is independent of its enzymatic activity. Our previous studies have demon- strated that srGAP3 can negatively regulate neuronal differentiation of Neuro2a cells. Furthermore, we revealed that TET1 could positively regulate srGAP3 expression independent of its catalytic activity, and srGAP3 is required for TET-mediated neuronal differentiation of Neuro2a cells. The results presented here may facilitate better understanding of the role of TET proteins in neuronal differentiation, and provide a possible therapy target for neuroblastoma.展开更多

However, the role of SRGAP2 in neuroretinal degenerative disease remains unclear. In this study, we found that SRGAP2 protein was first expressed in the retina of normal mice at the embryonic stage and was mainly located in the mature retinal ganglion cell layer and the inner nuclear layer. SRGAP2 protein in the retina and optic nerve increased after optic nerve crush. Then, we established a heterozygous knockout(Srgap2+/–) mouse model of optic nerve crush and found that Srgap2 suppression increased retinal ganglion cell survival, lowered intraocular pressure, inhibited glial cell activation, and partially restored retinal function. In vitro experiments showed that Srgap2 suppression activated the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. RNA sequencing results showed that the expression of small heat shock protein genes(Cryaa, Cryba4, and Crygs) related to optic nerve injury were upregulated in the retina of Srgap2+/– mice. These results suggest that Srgap2 suppression reduced the robust activation of glial cells, activated the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway related to nerve protein, increased the expression of small heat shock protein genes, inhibited the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, and partially restored optic nerve function.展开更多
