These results indicate that differentiation of PC12 cells into endocrine-like phenotype by dexamethasone and into a neuronal-like phenotype by either NGF or PACAP-38 increases the transcriptional activity of the NPY-Y1 receptor gene in PC12 cells
May et al., J Neurochem 1995
:
PACAP38 and PACAP27 produced parallel neuronal NPY and catecholamine release, but cellular levels of NPY and catecholamines were differentially regulated Colbert et al., J Neurosci 1994
:
Both VIP and PACAP stimulated expression of the NPY gene through activation of cAMP dependent protein kinase
Mizuno et al., J Neuroendocrinol 1998
:
These results indicate that the anorectic function of PACAP is not mediated by NPY or CRH, and that PACAP increases galanin synthesis
