TI  - Alternatively spliced isoforms of FE65 serve as neuron-specific and non-neuronal 
      markers.
PG  - 632-40
AB  - FE65 is predominantly expressed in brain and is especially rich in the regions
      with the highest densities of neurons. The FE65 protein binds to an intracellular
      domain of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaPP) and may modulate the
      production of beta-amyloid peptide (AP). One of FE65 exons, a mini-exon (exon 9, 
      6 bp), is alternatively spliced, giving rise to two isoforms varying only in 6
      base pairs. We quantitated the two isoforms by a sensitive reverse
      transcription-competitive polymerase chain reaction technique, and characterized 
      their expressions in various tissues and cell cultures, and the kinetics of
      expression of the two isoforms in P19 embryonal carcinoma cell lines during
      neuronal differentiation. Our results show that the exon 9-inclusive (E9) form,
      the more abundant form in brain, was exclusively expressed in neurons, while the 
      exon 9-exclusive (DeltaE9) form was widely expressed in all non-neuronal cells,
      but was not expressed in differentiated neurons. When P19 cells were
      differentiated to neurons, expression of FE65 was significantly up regulated (
      approximately 30-fold) and the splicing pattern of the FE65 pre-mRNA was switched
      from the DeltaE9 pattern to the E9 form. Based upon their distinctive expression 
      patterns, these two isoforms may serve as neuronal and non-neuronal markers, and 
      determination of their ratios may have applications in neuropathological
      diagnosis.
