Induction of tissue plasminogen activator in differentiated NG108-15 cells
1Department of Biochemistry, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO, USA.
Abstract:
Plasminogen activators may facilitate neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration in the developing nervous system. The expression of tissue plasminogen activator by NG108-15 neuroblastoma grown under a variety of conditions has been explored. High tissue plasminogen mRNA expression correlates with growth conditions which induce morphological differentiation and neurite outgrowth; however, NG108-15 cells grown in suspension with dibutyryl-cAMP also show a high level of tissue plasminogen activator expression.
