Abstract:
Objective To study the signaling transduction of dBcAMP induced morphological changes of astrocytes.Methods Morphological changes of primarily cultured mouse astrocytes induced by dBcAMP were studied by immunocytochemical technique.The signaling transduction pathways underlying those changes were further explored using specific inhibitors AG1478 and GM6001.Results Zn2+-dependent metalloproteinase and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in astrocytes were involved in the morphological changes of astrocytes induced by dBcAMP.Conclusion dBcAMP-induced transactivation pathways were delineated in the morphological changes of astrocytes.
