Effect of transcription or translation inhibitors on PACAP- and NGF-induced serpinb1a expression in PC12 cells.

PACAP NGF
No inhibitor 39.8 ± 2.3** 43.3 ± 2.6**
Actinomycin D 1.4 ± 0.1## 1.6 ± 0.2##
Cycloheximide 38.4 ± 3.4NS 37.7 ± 2.5NS

Cells were pre-incubated for 30 min with the RNA polymerase blocker actinomycin D (10 µM) or the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (0.5 µg/ml) and then cultured 6 hours in the presence of PACAP (10−7 M) or NGF (100 ng/ml). Quantitative PCR results were corrected using the GAPDH signal as internal control and expressed as the mean fold induction (± S.E.M.) of serpinb1a mRNA expression compared to the control without any treatment (neither PACAP or NGF nor inhibitors).

**

p<0.01 vs. control;

##

p<0.01 vs. corresponding treatment without inhibitor;

NS, not significantly different from corresponding treatment without inhibitor.
