Neuropoietin, a new IL-6-related cytokine signaling through the ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor

Abstract: A structural profile-based computational screen was used to identify neuropoietin (NP), a new cytokine. The np gene is localized in tandem with the cardiotrophin-1 gene on mouse chromosome 7. NP shares structural and functional features with ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin-1, and cardiotrophin-like cytokine. It acts through a membrane receptor complex comprising CNTF receptor-␣ component (CNTFR␣), gp130, and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor to activate signal transducer and activator of tr… Show more

“…Oncostatin M (OSM) 4 belongs to the family of interleukin (IL)-6-type cytokines, comprising so far nine members: IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, OSM, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor, cardiotrophin-1, cardiotrophin-like cytokine and neuropoietin (1)(2)(3). These cytokines are renowned for their pleiotropic functions and have been shown to play important roles in hematopoiesis, inflammation, the acute phase response, bone and heart development, and neurogenesis (1,4).…”

“…The CT-1 related cytokines LIF and IL-6 are expressed in the heart and might compensate for the loss of CT-1. In addition, NP/CT-2 was identified recently as a gp130 family member that is expressed at high levels during embryogenesis [21]. We used real-time PCR to quantify LIF, IL-6 and NP/CT-2 gene expression in adult heart to determine if these cytokines were elevated in CT-1 null mice compared to wild type mice.…”

“…A soluble form of the IL-6R is present in plasma, raising the possibility that IL-6 interacts with soluble IL-6R during development to compensate for the absence of CT-1 during development and in the adult heart. The CT-1 related cytokine Neuropoietin/Cardiotropin-2 was identified recently as a gp130 family member that is expressed at high levels during embryogenesis and not present in adult tissues [21]. NP/CT-2 shares a greater degree of similarity with CT-1 than any of the other gp130 family members, and its robust expression during embryogenesis makes it an interesting candidate to compensate for the loss of CT-1 during development.…”

“…Early cortical progenitors are exposed to CNTF, yet they still produce neurons. 59,60 Similarly, young cortical progenitors were less competent to produce glia than older progenitors when exposed to gliogenic cytokines in culture. 61 Even overexpression of CNTF in young cortical progenitors only generates a slight increase in glial production.…”
