Abstract excerpt
PC12 cells are used as a model system to study neuronal differentiation. Nerve growth factor (NGF) triggers a differentiation pathway in PC12 cells. Neurite outgrowth (a morphological marker of differentiation) in PC12 cells is significantly reduced in the presence of the NOS inhibitor l-NAME, but not d-NAME, implicating NOS in the differentiation process. Previously we have shown that the neuronal NO synthase...
