J. Biol. Chem. 275, 565-570. A novel apoptotic pathway induced by nerve growth factor-mediated TrkA activation in medulloblastoma. 2000

Chou, T.T. , Trojanowski, J.Q., Lee, V.M.Y.

Notes: Treatment of the human medulloblastoma MED283 cells with NGF causes a reduction is cell viability over a 72-hour period as judged by the CellTiter 96® AQueous Cell Proliferation Assay. The death was due to apoptosis. Neither the PD98059 inhibitor nor the MEK Inhibitor U0126 could prevent the apoptosis. The inhibitors (50µM and 10µM, respectively) were added to the media, which was changed every 12 hours during the 72-hour period. Cells with inhibitor and no NGF were not apoptotic, nor was there any noticeable decrease in cell viability. The data for the MEK Inhibitor U0126 Inhibitor is not shown. (1296)

J. Biol. Chem. 275(16), 12095-101. Cyclooxygenase-2 expression inhibits trophic withdrawal apoptosis in nerve growth factor-differentiated PC12 cells. 2000

McGinty, A., Chang, Y.W., Sorokin, A., Bokemeyer, D., Dunn, M.J.

Notes: PC12 cells were transfected to express cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2). Cox-2 expression was inducible with IPTG. Cox-2 expressing cells, in the presence of IPTG or without, proliferated to nearly the same levels as control, vector only transfected cells in response to EGF. The proliferation was measured with the CellTiter 96® AQueous Assay (MTS/PMS). The Cox-2 expressing cells were less prone to apoptosis when cultured with NGF and the NGF is withdrawn. Six hours after withdrawal of the NGF, the Cox-2-producing cells contain near control levels of caspase-3 activity as judged by the CaspACE™ Assay System, Fluorometric. (0712)

Arsura, M., Mercurio, F., Oliver, A.L., Thorgeirsson, S.S. and Sonenshein, G.E.

Notes: The CellTiter 96® AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay was used in Rat Liver Epithelial cells (RLEs).

TGF-β1 treatment dramatically inhibited growth of the wild type RLEs, but two of the three transformed lines showed only a modest decrease in proliferation. Cells were plated in 96 well dishes at 2x105 cells per well in 100 µl total volume. (2133)
