Role of Cyclic Nucleotides in Regulation of Differentiation of Nerve Cells

  • Chapter
Regulation of Differentiation in Mammalian Nerve Cells

Abstract

The possible involvement of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in neural differentiation became apparent when it was demonstrated that an elevation of the intracellular level of cAMP in neuroblastoma cells induces, as well as increases, the expression of many differentiated functions characteristic of mature neurons.1 The process of neural differentiation involves many steps, including induction, cell migration, regulation of induced differentiated functions, and inhibition of cell division. However, neuroblastoma cells in many ways are differentiated already and possess several features of mature neurons which are expressed mostly at low levels. Therefore, neuroblastoma cells in culture may be suitable primarily for studying the regulation of differentiated functions, which are induced already, and in identifying genetic and structural features modified experimentally. To study the involvement of cAMP in neural induction, the experimental system developed by early embryologists or embryoid cells of teratocarcinoma must be used. Indeed, by using explants of gastrulae of amphibia, it has been shown2 that cAMP induces neural differentiation. An extensive modification of gene expression, associated with structural organization, must occur during the period of differentiation. Genetic and structural modifications occur sequentially, with each differentiated function becoming detectable at a precise time and for a defined purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the role of cAMP in regulating differentiated functions of nerve cells.
