| Research Abstract |
The following results were obtained in the study of the mechanism of action of the microbial neuritogenesis inducer lactacystin in Neuro 2a cells.
1. Acetylcholineesterase activity in the cells was significantly enhanced by the treatment with lactacystin (1.3muM). Thus, lactacystin was proved functionally in addition to morpholotgically to induce the differentiation of Neuro 2a cells.
2. The mechanism of action of actacystin was proved to be differentiated from those of cAMP level enhancing substances (dibutyry1-cAMP, forskolin etc.) and protein kinase inhibitors (H-7 etc.) which are known to induce neuritogenesis in the cells.
3. Calycuin A, a protein phosphatase inhibitor, was shown to inhibit dipolar neurite outgrowth occurred in 1 day after the treatment with lactacystin, sugtgesting that protein hosphatases are involved in the dipolar neutite outgrowth. Hoever, calyculin A did not affect the formation of the network 3days after the treatment.
4. Lactacystin inhibits the cell cycle of Neuro2a cell by G1/G2 arrest. Furthermore, the histone deacetylase inhibitors trichostatin A (270nM) was found to induce neuritegenesis in the cells. The network induced with tricostatin A was kept for at least 21days.
5. Total synthesis of lctacystin was established with a high yield.
