Dopamine cells are generated in the ventral
midbrain during embryonic development. The progressive degeneration of
these cells in patients with Parkinson's disease, and the potential
therapeutic benefit by transplantation of in vitro
generated dopamine cells, has triggered intense interest in
understanding the process whereby these cells develop. Nurr1 is an
orphan nuclear receptor essential for the development of midbrain
dopaminergic neurons. However, the mechanism by which Nurr1 promotes
dopamine cell differentiation has remained unknown. In this study we
have used a dopamine-synthesizing cell line (MN9D) with immature
characteristics to analyze the function of Nurr1 in dopamine cell
development. The results demonstrate that Nurr1 can induce cell cycle
arrest and a highly differentiated cell morphology in these cells.
These two functions were both mediated through a DNA
binding-dependent mechanism that did not require Nurr1
interaction with the heterodimerization partner retinoid X receptor.
However, retinoids can promote the differentiation of MN9D cells
independently of Nurr1. Importantly, the closely related orphan
receptors NGFI-B and Nor1 were also able to induce cell cycle arrest
and differentiation. Thus, the growth inhibitory activities of the
NGFI-B/Nurr1/Nor1 orphan receptors, along with their widespread
expression patterns both during development and in the adult, suggest a
more general role in control of cell proliferation in the developing
embryo and in adult tissues.
