Research Abstract |
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) increases neurite outgrowth in many kind of neuronal cells, but signaling via its receptor PACAP-specific receptor has not been fully characterized. Because mitochondria also play an important role in neurodevelopment including dendritic branching, axonal guidanceand neurite outgrowth, we examined whether mitochondria contribute to PACAP-mediated neurite outgrowth. Present data suggest that mitochondrial activation plays a key role in PACAP-induced neurite outgrowth via a signaling pathway that includes PAC1R, PKA, andPgc1α.
