We identify and characterize two classes of immediate-early genes: (i) genes, induced by depolarization in neurons, that play a role in depolarization-induced neuronal plasticity and (ii) genes, induced in neuronal precursors by neurotrophins, that play a causal role in neurotrophin-directed neuronal differentiation. We use rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells to identify (i) genes preferentially induced by [depolarization or forskolin] versus [Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) or Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)] and (ii) genes preferentially induced by NGF versus EGF. We describe (i) a collection of genes preferentially induced by depolarization/forskolin in PC12 cells and by kainic acid in vivo, and (ii) a collection of genes preferentially induced by NGF. The synaptotagmin IV gene encodes a synaptic vesicle protein whose level is modulated by depolarization. NGF preferentially induces the urokinase-plasminogen activator receptor in PC12 cells. Antisense oligonucleotide and anti-UPAR antibody experiments demonstrate that NGF-induced UPAR expression is required for NGF-driven PC12 cell differentiation. |
