Trophic support promotes survival of bcl-x-deficient telencephalic cells in vitro

Abstract
Survival of immature neurons is regulated by Bcl-xL, as targeted disruption of bcl-x significantly increases cell death in vivo and in vitro. Death of cultured bcl-x-deficient and wild-type telencephalic cells can be prevented by fetal calf serum or chemically-defined medium (ITS), suggesting trophic factors in these media potentiate survival through a pathway independent of Bcl-xL. Addition of trophic factors to basal medium revealed that insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), but not other trophic factors, reduced apoptosis of wild-type and bcl-x-deficient telencephalic cells. Antibodies raised against IGF-I receptors and wortmannin both attenuated the effects of IGF-I, indicating survival was mediated by IGF-I receptors and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase signaling, whereas effects of ITS were only partially reduced by these agents. The survival promoting effects of ITS were reduced in cells lacking both bcl-x and bcl-2, indicating Bcl-2 plays a supportive role to Bcl-xL in maintaining telencephalic cell survival. Furthermore, the ratio of expression of the pro-apoptotic bax gene to the anti-apoptotic bcl-2 gene was reduced in bcl-x-deficient cultures grown in ITS, suggesting that the interaction between these bcl-2 family members may, in part, regulate a Bcl-xL independent survival pathway. Finally, the pro-apoptotic bad gene does not appear to play a role in these interactions as targeted disruption of bad did not alter apoptosis in telencephalic cultures.
