Density-dependent nerve growth factor regulation of Gs-alpha RNA in pheochromocytoma 12 cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nerve growth factor (NGF) affects levels of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gs-alpha) in pheochromocytoma 12 cells in a bidirectional, density-dependent manner. Cells grown at high density responded to NGF treatment with increased levels of Gs-alpha mRNA and protein. Conversely, in cells grown in low-density cultures, levels of this mRNA were lowered by NGF treatment.

Interleukin 1 expression is inducible by nerve growth factor in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells.
Expression of the cytokine interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) was demonstrated in the rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cell line by (i) immunohistochemistry using rabbit polyclonal antisera raised against the recombinant murine IL-1 alpha, (ii) an ELISA, and (iii) a specific cell conversion bioassay based on the use of LBRM33-1A5 cells. IL-1 alpha mRNA was demonstrated in the PC12 cells, by PCR amplific...
متن کاملNerve growth factor increases nicotinic ACh receptor gene expression and current density in wild-type and protein kinase A-deficient PC12 cells.
Although neuronal nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChR) play a key role in synaptic transmission and information transfer in the nervous system, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that govern the expression of the multiple subunits that form the receptors and determine their functional properties. Using electrophysiological and molecular biological approaches, we have investigated the NGF...
متن کاملRegulation of the Multiple Forms of Dopamine , & Hydroxylase by Nerve Growth Factor , Dexamethasone , and Dibutyryl Cyclic AMP in the PC 12 Pheochromocytoma Cell
Treatment with nerve growth factor was found to influence the subunit forms of dopamine @-hydroxylase in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. In untreated cells, near equal amounts of two subunit forms were observed (apparent M, = 77,000 and 73,000) by labeling with [36S]methionine. Upon treatment of PC12 cells with nerve growth factor for several days, the M, = 73,000 subunit form of dopamine &hydroxy...
متن کاملEffect of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation on Nerve Fibers of A Rat Model of Endometriosis
Background Endometriosis is a common, benign, oestrogen-dependent, chronic gynaecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Some researchers have identified nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions in women with endometriosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted interest for their possible use for both cell and gene therapies because of their capacity for self-renewal ...
متن کاملEvidence for RNA synthesis-dependent and -independent pathways in stimulation of neurite outgrowth by nerve growth factor.
Studies on the mechanism of action of nerve growth factor (NGF) were carried out with PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. PC12 cells are uniquely useful for such studies because they respond to, but (unlike normal neurons) do not require, NGF and may undergo either generation or regeneration of neurites in response to NGF. Regeneration is defined here as NGF-dependent regrowth of neurites within 2...
