Activation of the neuronal receptor tyrosine kinase ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) promoted the neuron-like differentiation of PC12 cells through specific activation of the ERK MAP-kinase pathway. However, the nature of primary signaling events initiated is still poorly documented. Here, we established that Shc and FRS2 adaptors were recruited and phosphorylated following antibody-based ALK activation. We further demonstrated that Shc was recruited to the consensus phosphotyrosine site NPTpY(1507) and FRS2 was likely recruited to a novel non-orthodox phosphotyrosine site within ALK. Finally, we characterized a functional role for Shc and likely FRS2 in ALK-dependant MAP-kinase activation and neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. These findings hence open attractive perspectives concerning specific characteristics of ALK in the control of the mechanisms driving neuronal differentiation.

The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated regulation of feeding and energy homeostasis. The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) contains a population of neurons that express orexigenic and anorexigenic factors and is thought to control feeding behavior via several neuronal circuits. In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis of low-fat control diet- (LFD-) and high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced hypothalamic ARC was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) related to changes in body weight.

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family ligands act through the receptor tyrosine kinase Ret, which plays important roles during embryonic development for cell differentiation, survival, and migration. Ret signaling is markedly affected by compartmentalization of receptor complexes into membrane subdomains. Ret can propagate biochemical signaling from within concentrates in cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains or lipid rafts, or outside such regions, but the mechanisms for, and consequences of, Ret translocation between these membrane compartments remain largely unclear.

Molecular mechanisms of neurotrophin signaling on dendrite development and dynamics are only partly understood. To address the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the morphogenesis of GABAergic neurons of the main olfactory bulb, we analyzed mice lacking BDNF, mice carrying neurotrophin-3 (NT3) in the place of BDNF, and TrkB signaling mutant mice with a receptor that can activate phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) but is unable to recruit the adaptors Shc/Frs2. BDNF deletion yielded a compressed olfactory bulb with a significant loss of parvalbumin (PV) immunoreactivity in GABAergic interneurons of the external plexiform layer.
