Abstract
To define the molecular bases of growth factor-induced signal transduction pathways, antibodies known to block the activity of either protein kinase C (PKC) or the fos protein were introduced into PC12 cells by microinjection. The antibody against PKC significantly inhibited neurite outgrowth when scored 24 h after microinjection and exposure to nerve growth factor (NGF). Microinjection of antibodies to fos significantly increased the percentage of neurite-bearing cells after exposure to either NGF or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) but inhibited the stimulation of DNA synthesis by serum, suggesting that in PC12 cells, fos is involved in cellular proliferation. Thus, activation of PKC is involved in the induction of neurite outgrowth by NGF, but expression of the fos protein, which is induced by both NGF and bFGF, is not necessary and inhibits neurite outgrowth.
