Abstrakt: Neuron-specific Enolase 2 (Eno2) is an isozyme primarily distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and neuroendocrine cells. It promotes neuronal survival, differentiation, and axonal regeneration. Recent studies have shown that Eno2 localized on the cell membrane of motor neurons acts as a receptor for extracellular phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (ePgk1), which is secreted by muscle cells and promotes the neurite outgrowth of motor neurons (NOMN). However, interaction between Eno1, another isozyme of Enolase, and ePgk1 failed to return the same result. To account for the difference, we constructed seven point-mutations of Eno2, corresponding to those of Eno1, and verified their effects on NOMN. Among the seven Eno2 mutants, eno2 -siRNA-knockdown NSC34 cells transfected with plasmid encoding the 419th aspartic acid mutated into serine (Eno2-[D419S]) or Eno2-[E420K] showed a significant reduction in neurite length. Moreover, the Eno2-ePgk1-interacted synergic effect on NOMN driven by Eno2-[D419S] was more profoundly reduced than that driven by Eno2-[E420K], suggesting that D419 was the more essential residue involved in NOMN mediated by Eno2-ePgk1 interaction. Eno2-ePgk1-mediated NOMN appeared to increase the level of p-Cofilin, a growth cone collapse marker, in NSC34 cells transfected with Eno2-[D419S] and incubated with ePgk1, thereby inhibiting NOMN. Furthermore, we conducted in vivo experiments using zebrafish transgenic line Tg(mnx1:GFP) , in which GFP is tagged in motor neurons. In the presence of ePgk1, the retarded growth of axons in embryos injected with eno2 -specific antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MO) could be rescued by wobble-eno2 -mRNA. However, despite the addition of ePgk1, the decreased defective axons and the increased branched neurons were not significantly improved in the eno2-[D419S]- mRNA-injected embryos. Collectively, these results lead us to suggest that the 419th aspartic acid of mouse Eno2 is likely a crucial site affecting motor neuron development mediated by Eno2-ePgk1 interaction, and, hence, mutations result in a significant reduction in the degree of NOMN in vitro and axonal growth in vivo.
