The Regulatory Role of Visfatin in Neuronal Differentiation and Neuroprotection through Activation of Vigin Signaling Pathway

초록

영어

We investigated whether visfatin gene expression, upregulated by hypoxia in cancer cells1), was associated with differentiation of neuronal cells. RT-PCR analysis, morphological observations, and immunostaining revealed that CoCl2, a hypoxic mimetic agent, at 75 microM increased
expression of the visfatin gene, and induced neurite outgrowth in PC-12 rat pheochromocytoma cells2). Visfatin not only induced neurite outgrowth but also significantly upregulated Vigin (visfatin - inducible gene in neuritogenesis) mRNA levels. Therefore, considering that vigin has
been known to be essential for neurite outgrowth and neuroprotective effect, our present results suggest that visfatin-mediated vigin signaling pathway may play important roles in neuritogenesis and neuroprotection.
