THE SYNERGISTIC ACTION OF ETHANOL AND NERVE GROWTH FACTOR IN THE INDUCTION OF NEURONAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE

Received 26 January 1999; accepted 16 March 1999

Ethanol alone had no effect on neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) expression in PC12 cells. However, in the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF), nNOS expression was amplified (threefold, P < 0.05), compared to NGF alone. This increase was eliminated with pretreatment of PC12 cells with staurosporine, suggesting that the effects of ethanol on nNOS expression are mediated by a protein kinase C-dependent pathway.
