In the dorsal horn of the chick embryo spinal cord, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) was phosphorylated transiently during embryonic days 6 and 9. Co-culture studies suggested that dorsal root ganglion (DRG) activated ERK in the dorsal horn. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) activated ERK in the dorsal horn, and anti-BDNF blocked the DRG-induced ERK activation. These results suggest roles of BDNF in the DRG-induced ERK activation in the embryonic dorsal horn.
在鸡胚脊髓的背角中,细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)在胚胎第6天和第9天期间短暂磷酸化。共培养研究表明,背根神经节(DRG)激活了背角中的ERK。脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)激活了背角中的ERK,而抗BDNF则阻断了DRG诱导的ERK激活。这些结果表明BDNF在胚胎背角中DRG诱导的ERK激活中发挥作用。
