Abstract excerpt
The inhibitor of the Hsp90 chaperone Geldanamycin has been reported to have several cellular effects, such as inhibition of v-src activity or destabilization of Raf-1 among others. We show now that Geldanamycin treatment induces different phenotypes in different cell lines. In PC12 cells, it triggers apoptosis, whereas in the murine neuroblastoma N2A, it induces differentiation with neurite outgrowth....
