Tropic actions of extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides have been described in both the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as for numerous other cell types. These effects on cellular differentiation and proliferation are mediated by specific cell surface PI and P2 receptors. In some

## Abstract Neuronal differentiation implies morphological and biochemical changes to generate a specialized neuron. N2A neuroblastoma cells can be promoted to undergo differentiation associated to neurites outgrowth, a process linked to the arrest of cell division. Using N2A cells as a model, we i
## Abstract __In vitro__, the human prostate cancer (PCA) cell line LNCaP can be permanently transdifferentiated into a quiescent neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype by the cytokine interleukinβ6 (ILβ6). Recently, we have shown that the growth of prostate cancer cells is significantly suppressed when coc
Salivary glands contain two major epithelial cell types: acinar cells which produce the primary salivary secretion, including amylase, and ductal cells which reabsorb electrolytes but also secrete kallikrein. Here we investigated salivary acinar cell differentiation in vitro using the activity of th
## Abstract PC3^TIS21/BTG2^ is the founding member of a family of genes endowed with antiproliferative properties, namely BTG1, ANA/BTG3, PC3B, TOB, and TOB2. PC3 was originally isolated as a gene induced by nerve growth factor during neuronal differentiation of rat PC12 cells, or by TPA in NIH3T3
## Abstract NGF appears to be involved in spermatogenesis. However, mice lacking NGF or TrkA genes do not survive more than a few days whereas p75^NTR^ knockout mice are viable and fertile. Therefore, we addressed the effect of Ξ²NGF on spermatogenesis by using the systems of rat germ cell culture w
