- Abstract
- Understanding the interplay between intracellular signals initiated by multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) to give the
final cell phenotype is a major pharmacological challenge. Retinoic acid (RA)-treatment of neuroblastoma (NB) cells
implicates activation of Ret and TrkB RTKs as critical step to induce cell differentiation. By studying the signaling interplay
between TrkB and Ret as paradigmatic example, here we demonstrate the existence of a cross-talk mechanism between the
two unrelated receptors that is needed to induce the cell differentiation. Indeed, we show that TrkB receptor promotes Ret
phosphorylation by a mechanism that does not require GDNF. This reveals to be a key mechanism, since blocking either
TrkB or Ret by small interfering RNA causes a failure in NB biochemical and morphological differentiation. Our results
provide the first evidence that a functional transactivation between distinct tyrosine kinases receptors is required for an
important physiological process (literal)
