The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now thought to be tightly linked to A deposition and oxidative stress, but it is still unknown how these factors result in neuronal dysfunction and cell death. Mutations of presenilin I (PSI) gene are the causative gene for early onset familial AD (FAD) due to the overproduction and deposition of pathogenic A 142 peptides. We report here the molecular influences of the overexpression of PSI protein by stable transfection of PSI cDNA into SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells on the function of high affinity nerve growth factor receptor, Trk, that is essential for neuronal survival and differentiation. We examined the sensitivity of these transfectants to oxidative stress and found that mutant (1143T) PSI-expressing clones showed the highest vulnerability to an oxidative stress inducer, hydrogen peroxide treatment compared with that of mock-transfected clones, whereas wild PSI-expressing cells were less vulnerable to the treatment than mutant PS1 transfectants. Because nerve growth factor (NGF) is known to protect neuronal cells from oxidative stress-induced cell death, we examined the NGF-Trk-mediated intracellular signaling pathway in these transfectants. In the wild and mutant PSI cDNA-transfected cells, NGF did not elicit the autophosphorylation response of Trk, although their basal levels of tyrosine phosphorylation were higher than those of mock-transfected cells. Immunocytochemical and subcellular fractionation studies revealed that most of Trk proteins are abnormally located in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus in PSI-overexpressing clones irrespective of wild and mutant forms. These results strongly indicate that the expression level of PSI protein has a cross talk with the Trk-dependent neuroprotective intracellular signaling pathway. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
