Nerve growth factor (NGF) is known to induce differentiation of pheochromocytoma into sympathetic neuron-like cells. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BPH4) and total biopterin (BP) levels in PC12h, a subclonal line of PC12, were transiently increased by NGF: the increase in BPH4 and BP reached the maximum (20-25 ng/mg protein = about 2-fold over the control level) at 24 h after the treatment was started. After 2-3 days, the BPH4 and BP levels decreased to the same level as in control cells. The NGF concentration which gave a half maximal BP increase by 24 h-treatment was around 1 ng/ml.
已知神经生长因子(NGF)可诱导嗜铬细胞瘤分化为交感神经元样细胞。PC12的亚克隆系PC12h中的四氢生物蝶呤(BPH4)和总生物蝶呤(BP)水平可被NGF短暂升高:开始处理后24小时,BPH4和BP的升高达到最大值(20 - 25 ng/mg蛋白质 = 约为对照水平的2倍)。2 - 3天后,BPH4和BP水平降至与对照细胞相同的水平。经24小时处理使BP增加至最大值一半的NGF浓度约为1 ng/ml。
