17647100 Takadera T, Ohyashiki T: Calmodulin inhibitor-induced apoptosis was prevented by glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitors in PC12 cells. Cell Mol Neurobiol. 2007 Sep;27(6):783-90. Epub 2007 Jul 24.

In addition, nerve growth factor and cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, completely blocked cell death.

J Biol Chem. 2005 Jul 8;280(27):25571-9. Epub 2005 May 3.

FGF-1 induced the expression of HO-1 in cultured rat spinal cord astrocytes, which was dependent on FGF receptor activation and prevented by cycloheximide.
Overexpression of Nrf2 in astrocytes increased survival of co-cultured embryonic motor neurons and prevented motor neuron apoptosis mediated by nerve growth factor through p75 neurotrophin receptor.

In the presence of cycloheximide or anisomycin, ephrin-A2, slit-3, and semaphorin3A still induced growth cone collapse and loss of actin filaments, nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 still induced growth cone protrusion and increased filamentous actin, and sensory growth cones turned toward an NGF source.

J Neurochem. 2005 Aug;94(3):572-86. Epub 2005 Jun 22.

Inhibition of protein synthesis (cycloheximide, 1 microg/mL) and transcription (actinomycin D, 50 ng/mL) blocked Abeta (25-35)-induced VGK current enhancement, suggesting that this potentiation is mediated by transcriptional activation induced by ROS.

For this purpose, nerve growth factor-differentiated catecholaminergic PC12 cells were used in which endogenous GRs were activated briefly with a high dose of corticosterone followed by gene expression profiling 1 and 3 h afterwards using Affymetrix GeneChips.
Real-time quantatitive PCR of transcripts in cycloheximide-treated cells showed that all five GR-responsive genes selected from the 1-h time point were primary responsive, whereas all four GR-responsive genes selected from the 3-h time point were downstream responsive.

19438724 Terasawa K, Ichimura A, Sato F, Shimizu K, Tsujimoto G: Sustained activation of ERK1/2 by NGF induces microRNA-221 and 222 in PC12 cells. FEBS J. 2009 Jun;276(12):3269-76. Epub 2009 Apr 25.


We found that expression of miR-221 and miR-222 expression were induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation in PC12 cells, and that this induction was dependent on sustained activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway.
