Disease relevance of Ntrk3

 

Psychiatry related information on Ntrk3

 

High impact information on Ntrk3

  • Peripheral neuronal subpopulations expressing the TrkC receptor tyrosine kinase respond to Nt3 with enhanced survival, mitogenesis or cell migration and these neurons are lost in homozygous Nt3 null (-/-) mutant mice [8].
  • These mice display abnormal movements and postures, indicating that NT3/TrkC-dependent sensor; neurons may play a primary role in proprioception, the sense of position and movement of the limbs [9].
  • Here we show that homozygous mice defective for TrkC tyrosine protein kinase receptors lack Ia muscle afferent projections to spinal motor neurons and have fewer large myelinated axons in the dorsal root and posterior columns of the spinal cord [9].
  • One of these isoforms, gp145trkC/TrkC K1, mediates the trophic properties of NT3 in cultured cells [9].
  • TrkB and TrkC neurotrophin receptors cooperate in promoting survival of hippocampal and cerebellar granule neurons [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ntrk3

  • To test whether these isoforms have different functions related to axon outgrowth, full-length or tyrosine kinase-lacking TrkC receptors were overexpressed in embryonic dorsal root ganglion neurons maintained in explant cultures in neurotrophin-3 (NT-3)-containing media [11].
 

Biological context of Ntrk3

 

Anatomical context of Ntrk3

  • Analysis of mutant embryos uncovers loss of Ntrk3/TrkC-expressing sensory neurons and abnormalities at early stages of sensory neuronal development [14].
  • We obtained the same results with Cos-7 cells expressing TrkC [12].
  • In the inner ear, TrkB- and TrkC-dependent neurons were shown to at least partially depend on each other for survival, most likely indirectly due to abnormal development of their common targets [15].
  • Kinetic analysis of neuronal death in the hippocampus showed that dentate gyrus granule neurons become dependent on TrkB and TrkC after the first postnatal week, shortly after the period of naturally occurring cell death, indicating a role of these receptors in supporting postmitotic neurons [10].
  • Mice lacking neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) or its receptor, TrkC, lose many spiral ganglion cells predominantly in the basal turn of the cochlea [16].
 

Associations of Ntrk3 with chemical compounds

  • When neuroblasts migrated and differentiated, immunostaining was used for locating NT3 and TrkC in the morphogenetic sequence, bromodeoxyuridine for proliferation, and synaptic vesicle protein for synaptogenesis [17].
  • Experiments with the use of cell-permeant inhibitors argue against a major role for PLC gamma and PtdIns 3-kinase in the activation of MAPK by TrkC [18].
 

Physical interactions of Ntrk3

 

Regulatory relationships of Ntrk3

  • In contrast, TrkC-expressing neurons decreased in both plexuses of postnatal noggin-overexpressing animals, again an effect detectable at E18 [19].
  • Our results show that myelin formation is inhibited in the absence of functional p75NTR and enhanced by blocking TrkC activity [20].
  • TrkA neurons expressing TrkC-reporter range from small to large size and supply well-defined types of mystacial pad innervation [21].
  • Our findings demonstrated that muscle-derived neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) has the unique ability to enhance the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on the myotubes following co-culture with NG108-15 cells expressing TrkC [22].
 

Other interactions of Ntrk3

  • Our data confirm an unexpectedly high proportion of sensory neuron losses in NT-3 (>70%), BDNF (>20%), and TrkC (>30%) mutants, which encompass populations thought to be NGF-dependent [23].
  • Its extracellular domain exhibits the same modular structure found in its homologs, TrkA and TrkC, consisting of an N-terminal LRM3 cassette and two immunoglobulin-like modules (Ig2 domain) adjacent to the membrane [24].
  • At the time of birth, however, Merkel cells are immunoreactive for NT-3, TrkC and p75NTR [13].
  • Three mRNAs, Gfra2, TrkA, and TrkC, were differentially expressed [25].
  • In adult DRGs, TrkC and Ret were expressed in 68% and 25% of TRPV2-positive neurons, respectively [26].
