| Abstract |
The cellular redox state is thought to play an important role in a wide variety cellular signaling pathways. Here, we investigated the involvement of redox regulation in the nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling pathway and neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which acts as a reductant in cells both by its direct reducing activity and by increasing the synthesis of the cellular antioxidant glutathione, inhibited neuronal differentiation induced by NGF or by the expression of oncogenic ras in PC12 cells. NAC suppressed NGF-induced c-fos gene expression and AP-1 activation. These results suggest that neuronal differentiation and NGF signaling are subject to regulation by the cellular redox state. NAC also suppressed the NGF-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and decreased the amount of tyrosine phosphorylation of MAPKs. The suppression of MAPK by NAC was independent of glutathione synthesis. In parallel with the suppression of MAPK, the activation of MAPK kinase kinase activity was also suppressed in the presence of NAC. In contrast, NGF-induced activation of Ras was not inhibited by NAC. The inhibitory effect of NAC on the MAPK cascade was independent of transcription and translation. Thus, NAC suppresses NGF-induced neuronal differentiation by uncoupling the signal transduction from Ras to the MAP kinase cascade in PC12 cells.
