## Abstract In 1999, we reported new observations that several compounds, including ATP, enhance neurite expression in PC12 cells when coapplied with nerve growth factor (NGF). Because purinergic and NGF signaling have several potential interfaces in PC12 cells, a series of experiments was conducte

✦ Synopsis
The stress-activated protein kinases posure to cellular stressors provoked a proportion-(SAPKs) are differentially activated by a variety of ately smaller stimulation of SAPK activity than that cellular stressors in PC12 cells. SAPK activation has observed in naive cells, despite the presence of much been linked to the induction of apoptotic cell death higher levels of SAPK protein. The insensitivity of upon serum withdrawal from undifferentiated cells or SAPK to activation by stressors was reflective of the following nerve growth factor (NGF) withdrawal of activity of the SAPK activator SEK, whose activation neuronally differentiated PC12 cells. However, withwas also diminished following NGF differentiation of drawal of trophic support from differentiated cells led the cells. The data demonstrate that SAPKs are subto only a very modest elevation of SAPK activity and ject to complex controls through both induction of led us to investigate the basis of the relative insensitiv-SAPK expression and the regulation mediated by ity of these enzymes to stressors.

## Abstract MAPK‐dependent activation of AP‐1 protein c‐Jun is involved in PC12 cell differentiation and apoptosis. However, the role of other AP‐1 proteins and their connection to MAPKs during growth, differentiation and apoptosis has remained elusive. Here we studied the activation of AP‐1 protei
## Abstract 5‐Lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) is a key enzyme catalyzing arachidonic acid to form leukotrienes. We have reported that ischemic‐like injury activates 5‐LOX in PC12 cells; however, the mechanisms are unknown. To determine whether ischemic‐like injury activates 5‐LOX mediated by oxidative stress
## Abstract The biological activity of nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to be mediated by the p140^__trk__A^ receptor tyrosine kinase, while the role of the p75 NGF receptor (p75^NGFR^) is still unresolved. Here we have investigated the relative contribution of p140^__trk__A^ and p75^NGFR^
Both nerve growth factor (NGF) and K-252a stimulate the uptake of calcium into PC12 cells. Stimulation by either is prevented by pretreatment of the cells with the tumor promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), suggesting an involvement of protein kinase C in the stimulation. The effect of PM
