摘要
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) stimulates neurite outgrowth by activating intracellular signaling cascades. We investigated the role of the transcriptional repressor HES-1 in NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth by estimating neurite extension from PC12-E2 cells grown in coculture with NCAM-negative or NCAM-positive fibroblasts. PC12-E2 cells were transiently transfected with an expression plasmid encoding HES-1. We found that expression of HES-1 inhibited NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth. Treatment with arachidonic acid (an important messenger in NCAM-dependent signaling) restored NCAM-induced neurite outgrowth inhibited by HES-1. These results suggest that HES-1 is a regulator of intracellular signal transduction stimulated by cell adhesion molecules involved in neurite outgrowth. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
