    Representative images ( a ) and quantification ( b ) showing the spatial localization of <t>endogenous</t> <t>BDNF,</t> <t>proBDNF,</t> TrkB, and pTrkB receptors at aneural AChR clusters in cultured Xenopus muscles. Arrows and arrowheads indicate localized signals at the perforated and AChR-rich regions of aneural clusters, respectively. c Representative images showing the spatial association (arrows) between BDNF and PLS at perforated aneural AChR clusters. The yellow lines indicate the region-of-interest for generating line profiles. Line profile plots showing the relative fluorescence intensities of AChR (red), BDNF (green), and PLS core and cortex markers (magenta). The colored boxes indicate the spatial enrichment of markers with their respective fluorescence signals above the cutoff intensity of 50%. d Maximal projection of Airyscan confocal z-stack images showing the spatial enrichment of BDNF (top panels) or proBDNF (bottom panels) at PLS core regions within aneural AChR clusters. The orthogonal xz views show the differential distributions of AChR, cortactin, and BDNF/proBDNF. Scale bars represent 5 µm, unless stated otherwise.

    Techniques Used: Western Blot, Knockdown, Expressing, Control, Fluorescence

    a In nerve-muscle cocultures, we speculate that PLSs direct the vesicular trafficking of not only MT1-MMP, but also BDNF and its precursor proBDNF for localized release at AChR clusters. The intracellular endoprotease furin mediates the proteolytic conversion of proBDNF to mBDNF for activating TrkB receptors in muscles. Knockdown of muscle BDNF expression affects aneural AChR cluster formation; therefore, less AChR molecules are redistributed and recruited for the assembly of nerve-induced synaptic AChR clusters. b At developing NMJs in vivo, MBKO mouse embryos exhibit reduced AChR prepatterning in the diaphragm muscles and reduced axonal branching and arborization in the phrenic nerves at E13.5. The defects in AChR prepatterning reduce the number of AChR molecules being redistributed to the postsynaptic apparatus, as reflected by the reduced intensity of synaptic AChR clusters in MBKO mice, at E18.5.

    a In nerve-muscle cocultures, we speculate that PLSs direct the vesicular trafficking of not only MT1-MMP, but also BDNF and its precursor proBDNF for localized release at AChR clusters. The intracellular endoprotease furin mediates the proteolytic conversion of proBDNF to mBDNF for activating TrkB receptors in muscles. Knockdown of muscle BDNF expression affects aneural AChR cluster formation; therefore, less AChR molecules are redistributed and recruited for the assembly of nerve-induced synaptic AChR clusters. b At developing NMJs in vivo, MBKO mouse embryos exhibit reduced AChR prepatterning in the diaphragm muscles and reduced axonal branching and arborization in the phrenic nerves at E13.5. The defects in AChR prepatterning reduce the number of AChR molecules being redistributed to the postsynaptic apparatus, as reflected by the reduced intensity of synaptic AChR clusters in MBKO mice, at E18.5.
