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.
