15086522 Merlo D, Cifelli P, Cicconi S, Tancredi V, Avoli M: 4-Aminopyridine-induced epileptogenesis depends on activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK. J Neurochem. 2004 May;89(3):654-9.

Here, we studied the activation state of ERK1/2 in rat hippocampal slices during application of the K (+) channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4AP, 50 micro m), a procedure that enhances synaptic transmission and leads to the appearance of epileptiform activity.

Specifically, exposing cultures to a K (+)-channel blocker, 4-aminopyridine (20-2500 microm), and a GABA (A) receptor antagonist, bicuculline (50 microm) (4-AP/bic), for 1-2 days resulted in potent tolerance to normally lethal OGD applied up to 3 days later.
Preconditioning induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and CREB which, along with Ca (2+) spiking and OGD tolerance, was eliminated by tetrodotoxin.

Here we report that suppression of a voltage-gated K (+) channel with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), barium, and tetraethylammonium inhibited both EGF- and insulin-stimulated myeloblastic leukemia ML-1 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.
In serum-starved ML-1 cells, insulin rapidly stimulated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt, and the phosphorylation levels peaked approximately 30 min after treatment.

Brief glutamatergic stimulation of neurons from fetal mice, cultured in vitro for 6 days, activates the mTOR-S6 kinase, ERK1/2 and Akt pathways, to an extent approaching that elicited by brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
After 12 days in culture, the response to direct glutamatergic activation is attenuated but can be uncovered by suppression of gamma-aminobutyric acid interneurons with bicuculline in the presence of the weak K (+) channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP).
