Abstract
In primary neuronal cultures the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by tumor-promoting phorbol esters blocked growth factor-induced neuronal survival and neurite extension. Depletion of PKC markedly facilitated both epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor-inducible neurite extension. Inhibition of PKC by H-7 also stimulated neurite extension. These results suggest that down-regulation of PKC in neurons may be required for trophic factor action.
