We previously demonstrated that oxysterols inhibit the growth of experimental glioblastoma induced in the rat brain cortex. Mechanism of action of these compounds remains obscure. In this study, we investigated the effect of 7-hydroxycholesterol (7-OHCH) and 7ketocholesterol (7k-CH) on the growth

## Abstract Results presented in this study indicate that in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK 293), the ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS‐R1a) activates the extracellular signal‐related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2) via three pathways. One pathway is mediated by th
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) promotes the survival or differentiation of several types of neurons. This study examines GDNF-induced signal transduction and biological effects in cultured striatal neurons. Results show that GDNF addition to striatal cultures transiently increase
Several agents that act through G-protein-coupled receptors and also stimulate phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), including angiotensin II, vasopressin, norepinephrine, and prostaglandin (PG) F 2a , activated the ERK1 (p44 mapk ) and ERK2 (p42 mapk ) members of the mitogen-activated
