Input: Context: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and N-cadherin interact to transduce intracellular signals. However, the specific molecular mechanisms of this interaction are unclear. This study attempted to detect changes in GDNF-induced -catenin phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in C6 glioma cells.', 'C6 glioma cells were treated with GDNF (70 ng/mL) and membrane and cytoplasmic proteins were extracted. A N-cadherin antibody was used for co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). Western blot analysis using the co-IP protein was completed using antibodies for -catenin, Src and -actin. Immunocytochemistry was conducted with the same antibodies. To determine if Src induced phosphorylation of -catenin Tyr-654, Western blot analysis was also performed on nuclear proteins from C6 cells treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 using then p- -catenin antibody.', 'After induced by GDNF, C6 cell membrane -catenin was phosphorylated at Tyr-654 and subsequently separated from the N-cadherin/-catenin complex. Further study confirmed that the induction by GDNF significantly increased cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of phospho--catenin (Tyr-654) in C6 glioma cells. There was also an increase in the binding of non-receptor protein kinase Src with N-cadherin on the inner cell membrane surface. Src induced phosphorylation of -catenin Tyr-654 induced by GDNF decreased significantly.
Answer: The results of our study demonstrate that GDNF increases the intracellular phosphorylation level of -catenin through N-cadherin/Src signaling, which subsequently stimulates the nuclear translocation of -catenin. This study provides a theoretical basis for us to reveal the role of biological mechanisms on glioma cell by GDNF.
Output:
Does glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor promote -catenin phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in glioma cells?
