BDNF signaling is considered to be a therapeutic target in HD, especially its role in neuronal survival, signaling and transport. The binding of BDNF to the TrkB receptor is known to promote two key downstream signaling pathways, namely, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulatory protein kinase (Erk) and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways that induces cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation and activation [14,15,49,50].

One of the hallmarks of HD is the impaired neurotrophic support of BDNF from the cortex to striatum, resulting in striatal degeneration [64]. It has been previously stated that the physiological effects of BDNF are primarily mediated by its high-affinity tropomyosin-related kinase receptor (TrkB), leading to the activation of the downstream MAPK, PI3K and PLCγ pathways [65,66]. Activation of these pathway aids in neurogenesis, gliogenesis, neurite outgrowth, and enhanced neuronal survival. Thus, it was important to validate the effects of BDNF on the downstream signaling pathways such as the MAPK/ERK and PI3K-PKB/AKT signaling pathways. Several studies have shown that altered BDNF/TrkB signaling has detrimental effects on neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptogenesis. Our results show a reduced level of pAkt and pCREB in the Q140 cells (Figure 1A), which is increased when induced with BDNF for 30 min. Previously reported mutated huntingtin suppresses the expression of several receptors through an inhibition of CREB binding, and the BDNF gene is one of the CREB-targets [67,68,69,70]. This implies that a spatiotemporal supply of BDNF is critical for prompt responses from downstream signaling molecules.
BDNF effect on the BDNF-TrkB signalling pathway in Q140 striatal neurons. (A). Representative immunoblots of TuJ1, TrkB, TrkB (pY490), Akt, pAkt (pS473), CREB and pCREB (pS133), and in WT and Q140 cells with and without BDNF (25 ng/mL) for 30 min. We detect reduced levels of pAkt (p8473) and pCREB (pS133) in Q140 (lane 3 compared to lane 1 in WT. Repeated in triplicates. (B). Striatal neuron staining with FITC-tubulin CREB and pCREB (pSer133) confirms that the activation of CREB into pCREB in WT occurs with BDNF after 30 min. (C). Staining with CREB and pCREB (pSer133) shows alterations of pCREB in WT and Q140 after 30 min inductions, with or without BDNF (25 ng/mL). Repeated in triplicates. Scale bar is 100 μm. 2ff7e9595c
