GDNF-induced neurite formation was stimulated by protein kinase inhibitors and suppressed by Ras inhibitors.

    The effects of various inhibitors on the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-induced neurite formation in TGW human neuroblastoma cells were investigated. Treatment of cells with Ser/Thr protein kinase inhibitors such as staurosporine, H-7, H-8 and HA-1004, induced neurite formation without GDNF. On the other hand, tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as erbstatin, genistein and herbimycin A did not produce neurites per se, but effectively enhanced the GDNF-induced neurite formation. A phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, and Ras inhibitors such as oxanosine, damnacanthal and conophylline strongly suppressed the effect of GDNF. These results suggest that a tyrosine protein kinase has a suppressive role in the neurite formation induced by GDNF and that Ras is necessary for the signaling initiated by GDNF.
