To reduce damage from toxic insults such as glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stresses, neurons may deploy an array of neuroprotective mechanisms. Recent reports show that progranulin (PGRN) gene null or missense mutations leading to inactive protein, are linked to frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), suggesting that survival of certain neuronal populations need full expression of functional PGRN. Here we show that extracellular PRGN stimulates phosphorylation/activation of the neuronal MEK/ERK/p90RSK and PI3K/Akt cell survival pathways and rescues cortical neurons from cell death induced by glutamate or oxidative stresses. Pharmacological inhibition of MEK/ERK/p90RSK signaling blocks the PGRN-induced phosphorylation and neuroprotection against glutamate toxicity whilst inhibition of either MEK/ERK/p90RSK or PI3K/Akt blocks PGRN protection against neurotoxin MPP+. Inhibition of both pathways had synergistic effects on PGRN-dependent neuroprotection against MPP+ toxicity suggesting both pathways contribute to the neuroprotective activities of PGRN. Extracellular PGRN is remarkably stable in neuronal cultures indicating neuroprotective activities are associated with full-length protein. Together, our data show that extracellular PRGN acts as a neuroprotective factor and support the hypothesis that in FTLD, reduction of functional brain PGRN results in reduced survival signaling and decreased neuronal protection against excitotoxicity and oxidative stress leading to accelerated neuronal cell death. That extracellular PGRN has neuroprotective functions against toxic insults suggests that in vitro preparations of this protein may be used therapeutically.
