Inactivation of CDK/pRb Pathway Normalizes Survival Pattern of Lymphoblasts Expressing the FTLD-Progranulin Mutation c.709-1G>A

Abstract: BackgroundMutations in the progranulin (PGRN) gene, leading to haploinsufficiency, cause familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP), although the pathogenic mechanism of PGRN deficit is largely unknown. Allelic loss of PGRN was previously shown to increase the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) CDK6/pRb pathway in lymphoblasts expressing the c.709-1G>A PGRN mutation. Since members of the CDK family appear to play a role in neurodegenerative disorders and in apoptotic death of neurons subjecte… Show more

“…44,46,54,[76][77][78][79] Altered activation of both TNF-α and WNT5A signalling has been found in the brains of patients with several types of neurodegenerative disorders. [80][81][82] Assuming that the TNF-α and WNT5A-mediated cell cycle dysfunction reported here could be peripheral sign of FTLD associated with PGRN deficiency, we think that targeting TNF-α and/or WNT5A signalling could have potential implications for designing novel therapeutic strategies.…”

“…Parametric tests were therefore used in the statistical analysis. Based on the expertise achieved in previous works 25,44,45 we expected that with the sample size that we used and the significance level that we established the variability within groups would be low enough and the power to detect differences between groups would be high enough to J Psychiatry Neurosci 2016;41(4) ensure a statistical power above 0.9. Statistical significance was estimated using the Student t test or, when appropriate, using 1-way and 2-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons.…”

“…We had previously shown that PGRN deficit altered the activity of CDK4/6-associated kinase and survival of peripheral cells from FTLD-TDP patients bearing a GRN null mutation [29]. On these grounds, we were interested in evaluating the role of the CDK4/6/pRb pathway in the survival/death of control and PGRN-depleted neuroblastoma cell lines under serum deprivation conditions.…”

“…Previous work from this laboratory highlighted the role of the CDK6/retinoblastoma protein (pRb) pathway in controlling cell fate survival/death of peripheral cells from carriers of a loss-of-function GRN mutation, c.709-1G>A [29]. In this work, we have addressed the issue as to whether PGRN deficiency also modulates this cascade and eventually cell survival in a neuroblastoma cell line.…”
