Treatment of PC12 cells with nerve growth factor (NGF) produces a rapid and transient increase in calcium uptake into the cells. The increased uptake is maximal after 5 minutes of NGF treatment, but after 15 minutes of NGF treatment, no such increase can be observed. The effect of NGF is partially i

โฆ Synopsis
The long-known and well-documented increase in the NILE glycoprotein produced by nerve growth factor in PC12 cells is prevented by simultaneous treatment with dexamethasone. The absence of this surface marker on the fully differentiated cells has been demonstrated by both glucosamine incorporation and immunohistofluorescence.

## Abstract Glucocorticoids and nerve growth factor (NGF) have been shown to have antagonistic effects on chromaffin cells in vivo. Here we determined the effect of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, on levels of mRNA for the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) in rat PC12 pheochromocytom
Radioactive short-chain fatty acids preferentially label glutamine relative to glutamate in brain due to compartmentation of glutamine and glutamate. To determine whether this phenomenon occurs in a single cell culture model, we examined the effect of fatty acid chain length on the synthesis as well
In an effort to understand molecular mechanisms by which nerve growth factor (NGF) regulates gene expression, we have isolated a full-length rat cDNA clone encoding ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and utilized this probe to identify and examine the transcriptionally active, NGF inducible ODC gene in r
The uptake of divalent cations and the intracellular concentration of calcium in PC12 cells were studied by flow cytometric analysis using the calcium-sensitive dye, Fluo-3, under a variety of conditions. In particular the actions of nerve growth factor were analyzed. The data show that nerve growth
Mutant PC12 cell clones (PC84 cells) were obtained by transfection with nerve growth factor (NGF) cDNA. These cells secreted active NGF, extended short processes, and proliferated faster than the parental PC12 cells. These features are of great interest because the parental PC12 cells cease prolifer
