lüll Cell cycle molecules define a pathway required for neuron death in development and disease Greene LA; Liu DX; Troy CM; Biswas SCBiochim Biophys Acta 2007[Apr]; 1772 (4): 392-401We review here evidence defining a molecular pathway that includes cell cycle-related molecules and that appears to play a required role in neuron death during normal development as well as in disease and trauma. The pathway starts with inappropriate activation of cyclin dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) in neurons which leads to hyper-phosphorylation of the pRb family member p130. This in turn results in dissociation of p130 and its associated chromatin modifiers Suv39H1 and HDAC1 from the transcription factor E2F4. Dissociation of this complex results in de-repression of genes with E2F binding sites including those encoding the transcription factors B- and C-Myb. Once elevated in neurons, B- and C-Myb proteins bind to the promoter for the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein Bim and promote its induction. Bim then interacts with the core cellular apoptotic machinery, leading to caspase activation and apoptotic death. This pathway is supported by a variety of observations and experimental findings that implicate it as a required element for neuron loss in development and in many nervous system traumas and disorders. The components of this pathway appear to represent potential therapeutic targets for prevention of disease-associated neuron death.|*Pathology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Apoptosis[MESH]|Cell Cycle/*physiology[MESH]|Cell Death/*physiology[MESH]|Cell Survival[MESH]|Death[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Neurons/*pathology[MESH]|Wounds and Injuries/pathology[MESH] |
