To explore the effect of Codonopsis pilosula (Franch) Nannf total alkaloids (DSA) on differentiation induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) in PC12 cells.
After culturing PC12 cells with DSA in the presence or absence of NGF, neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells and correlated protein kinases were assayed.
DSA alone did not exhibit neuritogenic activity, but caused a significant enhancement of NGF (2 microg/L)-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, and increased the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Furthermore, this enhancing effect was completely blocked by a specific MAPK kinase inhibitor, PD98059.
DSA enhanced the NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells by amplifying an up-stream step of the MAPK-dependent signaling pathway.
探讨党参总生物碱(DSA)对神经生长因子(NGF)诱导PC12细胞分化的影响。
在有或无NGF存在的情况下,用DSA培养PC12细胞,检测PC12细胞的神经突生长及相关蛋白激酶。
单独使用DSA不表现出促神经突生长活性,但能显著增强NGF(2微克/升)诱导的PC12细胞神经突生长,并增加丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)的磷酸化。此外,这种增强作用被特异性的MAPK激酶抑制剂PD98059完全阻断。
DSA通过放大MAPK依赖信号通路的上游步骤来增强NGF诱导的PC12细胞神经突生长。
