The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) mediates
signaling events leading to activation of the JNK pathway and cell
death in a variety of cell types. We recently identified NRAGE, a
protein that directly interacts with the p75NTR cytosolic region and
facilitates p75NTR-mediated cell death. For the present study, we
developed an inducible recombinant NRAGE adenovirus to dissect the
mechanism of NRAGE-mediated apoptosis. Induced NRAGE expression
resulted in robust activation of the JNK pathway that was not inhibited by the pharmacological mixed lineage kinase (MLK) inhibitor CEP1347. NRAGE induced cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c,
activation of Caspases-3, -9 and -7, and caspase-dependent
cell death. Blocking JNK and c-Jun action by overexpression of the
JNK-binding domain of JIP1 or dominant-negative c-Jun ablated
NRAGE-mediated caspase activation and NRAGE-induced cell death.
These findings identify NRAGE as a p75NTR interactor capable of
inducing caspase activation and cell death through a
JNK-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.
