 The function of normal cellular isoform of prion protein(PrPC)remains unknown. Although many PrPC-binding proteins have been reported, functional interaction of these proteins is not authenticated. Doppel(Dpl), a recently discovered prion protein(PrP)-like protein, might provide new approaches to PrPCfunctions, because overexpression of Dpl causes apoptotic cerebellar cell death that is inhibited by PrPC, indicating functional interaction between PrPCand Dpl. Recently, we have established a line of PrP-deficient immortalized hippocampal neuronal cell lines(HpL2-1, HpL3-2, HpL3-4 and HpL4-2)derived from Rikn PrP-knockout mice. Serum removal from the cell culture causes apoptosis in PrP gene(Prnp)-deficient cells(Prnp-/-cells), but not in Prnp+/+cells. Transfection of Prnp suppresses apoptosis of the Prnp-/-cells under serum-free conditions. Investigation of apoptosis cascade induced by serum deprivation in Prnp-/-cells would elucidate the function of PrPC.
