Evidence from transgenic mice and cultured cerebellar neurons supports an important role for insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I) in the formation of cerebellar cytoarchitecture. To understand IGF‐I's function during cerebellar development, we examined the involvement of IGF‐I in the premature apoptosis of granule neurons derived from the cerebella of weaver (wv) mutant mice. Before their demise,wvgranule neurons increased the expression and secretion of IGFBP5 in a gene dose‐dependent manner. Because IGFBP5 may interfere with the interaction of IGF‐I and its receptor, the abnormally high IGFBP5 levels inwvgranule neurons suggest that a lack of IGF‐I activation may contribute to their premature apoptosis. This hypothesis is supported by a gene dose‐dependent decrease in IGF‐I receptor (IGF‐IR) phosphorylation. More importantly, there is a parallel gene dose‐dependent decrease in Akt activity, which was inversely correlated with the activity levels of caspase 3. On the other hand, adding IGFBP5 antibody into culture media increased the survival ofwvgranule neurons, whereas adding IGFBP5 decreased the survival of wild‐type granule neurons. To delineate the interaction between IGF‐I and IGFBP5 onwvgranule neurons, we examined neuronal survival after treating with IGF‐I, des(1–3) IGF‐I, or IGFBP5 antibody. At the same concentration, des(1–3) IGF‐I was more effective than IGF‐I in promoting survival, in increasing Akt activity, and in decreasing caspase 3 activity. These results indicate that IGF‐I's actions onwvgranule neurons are normally inhibited by excess IGFBP5, and sufficient IGF‐I receptor activation rescueswvgranule neurons via stimulating the Akt signaling pathway. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
