Studies in non-neuronal cells show that c-Jun
N-terminal kinases (JNK) play a key role in apoptotic cell death. In
some neurons JNK is also thought to initiate cell death by the
activation of c-Jun. JNK inhibition has been achieved pharmacologically
by inhibiting upstream kinases, but there has been no direct
demonstration that inhibition of JNK can prevent neuronal death. We
have therefore examined whether the JNK binding domain (JBD) of
JNK-interacting protein-1 (JIP-1, a scaffold protein and specific
inhibitor of JNK) can inhibit c-Jun phosphorylation and support the
survival of sympathetic neurons deprived of NGF. We show that
expression of the JBD in >80% of neurons was sufficient to prevent
the phosphorylation of c-Jun and its nuclear accumulation as well as
abrogate neuronal cell death induced by NGF deprivation. JBD expression
also preserved the capacity of mitochondria to reduce MTT.
Interestingly, although the PTB domain of JIP was reported to
interact with rhoGEF, expression of the JBD domain was sufficient to
localize the protein to the membrane cortex and growth cones.
Hence, JNK activation is a key event in apoptotic death induced
by NGF withdrawal, where its point of action lies upstream of
mitochondrial dysfunction.
