Abstract excerpt
Two signaling pathways, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI-3k)/Akt and Ras/MAPK, are major effectors triggered by nerve growth factor (NGF). Rac1, Cdc42 and GSK-3beta are reported to be targets of PI-3k in the signal transduction for neurite outgrowth. Immediately after NGF was added, broad ruffles were observed temporarily around the periphery of PC12 cells prior to neurite growth. As PC12D cells are characterized by...
