Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-NRG1 type III antibody (AB23248)

ab23248 detecting NRG1 Type III in mouse L4/5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue (perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde and cryoprotected overnight, cut on a cryostat at 15μm). Tissue was incubated in blocking serum (normal goat serum) for 1hr, washed 3XPBS before primary antibody incubation in PBS with triton (0.1%) overnight (ab23248 was used at 1/800 = 0.34μg/ml). Secondary antibody used was goat anti-rabbit Alexa 546 (1/1000). The image shown is taken with a X20 objective and shows mostly nuclear NRG1 Type III staining with some cytomplasmic staining (nuclear counterstain with DAPI confirmed this - not shown).

Western blot - Anti-NRG1 type III antibody (AB23248)

ab23248 picks up an ~50kDa band in WB when tested on rat sciatic nerve, rat brain or mouse brain. This band size concurrs with an entry for NRG1 in both Expasy and NCBI databases (Q3URY7). Carroll et al., (J Neurosci. 1997 Mar 1;17(5) : 1642-59) also detect a 50kDa band in dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord. However, it is surprising that we do not detect more bands; it is likely that ab23248 does not pick up all NRG1 type III isoforms or that there is very restricted expression in the tissues tested here.

Specificity

ab23248 detects ~50-55kDa band in rat sciatic nerve, rat and mouse brain lysate. IHC detection with ab23248 in mouse DRG shows a primarily nuclear localisation of the protein rather than the expected cytoplasmic staining (See Bao and Wang references).

Supplementary information

NRG1 type III also known as neuregulin-1 protein is an isoform of the neuregulin-1 protein family. It has a mass of approximately 44 kDa. This protein is expressed mainly in the nervous system including neurons and glial cells and is known to play key roles in nervous system function and development. NRG1 type III facilitates cell signaling by binding to ErbB receptors which are a category of epidermal growth factor receptors.
Biological function summary

This protein variant plays an important role in myelination which is the process of forming a myelin sheath around the nerves. NRG1 type III interacts with the ErbB2 and ErbB3 receptors forming a complex important for these roles. This interaction encourages Schwann cells to initiate and sustain the myelination of peripheral nerves which is vital for proper nerve function and rapid signal transmission.

Pathways

NRG1 type III is actively involved in the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways. It interacts with proteins like ErbB2 and ErbB3 to propagate cell growth and survival signals. These pathways influence several cellular processes including cell growth proliferation and survival thereby facilitating communication between neurons and supporting their structural integrity.

NRG1 type III is linked to schizophrenia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Alterations in NRG1 type III and its pathway components may lead to disrupted neural signaling and connectivity contributing to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Furthermore abnormal expression levels of NRG1 type III are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease a disorder affecting peripheral nerves often in association with changes in the ErbB2 and ErbB3 receptor interaction.

Target data

Direct ligand for ERBB3 and ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptors. Concomitantly recruits ERBB1 and ERBB2 coreceptors, resulting in ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the ERBB receptors. The multiple isoforms perform diverse functions such as inducing growth and differentiation of epithelial, glial, neuronal, and skeletal muscle cells; inducing expression of acetylcholine receptor in synaptic vesicles during the formation of the neuromuscular junction; stimulating lobuloalveolar budding and milk production in the mammary gland and inducing differentiation of mammary tumor cells; stimulating Schwann cell proliferation; implication in the development of the myocardium such as trabeculation of the developing heart. Isoform 10 may play a role in motor and sensory neuron development. Binds to ERBB4 (PubMed : 10867024, PubMed : 7902537). Binds to ERBB3 (PubMed : 20682778). Acts as a ligand for integrins and binds (via EGF domain) to integrins ITGAV : ITGB3 or ITGA6 : ITGB4. Its binding to integrins and subsequent ternary complex formation with integrins and ERRB3 are essential for NRG1-ERBB signaling. Induces the phosphorylation and activation of MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK1/ERK2 and AKT1 (PubMed : 20682778). Ligand-dependent ERBB4 endocytosis is essential for the NRG1-mediated activation of these kinases in neurons (By similarity).
