Figure 7. PKC-α and ERK 1/2 activation in CHO cells stably transfected with human α-AR (CHO/α-AR) by α1-AAB is demonstrated.

Figure 7

(A) Incubation of CHO/α-AR cells with α1-AAB for 2 min resulted in a PKC-α activation, which was blocked by the peptide P2, but not by the peptide P5. (B) ERK 1/2 phosphorylation after incubation with α1-AAB for 5 min is shown. Inhibition of the upstream phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase activity by the inhibitor LY294002 strongly reduced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. Yellow shows PKC-α and ERK 1/2 activation, respectively; red is more intense activation.
