Description of the research topic:

Nerve growth facror (NGF)-treated rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells stop dividing and, accompanied by process growth, differentiate into a sympathetic neuronal-like phenotype. In the background complex signaling events induce altered gene expression. Extracelllular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) and Src proteins are key elements of this enzymatic regulation. We investigate the phosphorylation and intracellular distribution of these enzymes as a function treatments. Currently we are using NGF or the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 to elicit differentiation.
