Role of JNK and p53 in Implementation of Functions of Various Types of Regeneration-Competent Cells of the Nervous Tissue

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2021 Jul;171(3):333-337. doi: 10.1007/s10517-021-05222-3. Epub 2021 Jul 23.

Abstract

We studied the participation of JNK and p53 in the realization of the growth potential of different types of progenitors of the subventricular zone of mouse brain and secretion of neurotrophins by glial cells. The stimulating role of these signaling molecules in mitotic activity and specialization of multipotent neural stem cells was shown. It was found that JNK and p53 do not participate in the regulation of committed neuronal progenitor cells (clonogenic PSA-NCAM+ cells). A dependence of neurotrophic growth factors in individual populations of neuroglia on activity of these protein kinase and transcription factor was revealed. The role of JNK and p53 in astrocytes consists in stimulation of their secretion, and in microglial cells, on the contrary, in its inhibition. The secretory neurotrophic function of oligodendrogliocytes is not associated with JNK and p53 activity.

Keywords: intracellular signaling molecules; neural stem cells; neurodegenerative diseases; neuroglia; targeted therapy.
