Researchers from South Korea have reported a positive role of the PI3-K/Akt signaling pathway in PC12 cell differentiation.

"Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (P13-K) is considered to be a key event upon stimulation of cells with growth factors. Akt is known to be a downstream target of P13-K when it is activated by nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF induces cell differentiation of PC12 cells as indicated by neurite outgrowth," wrote Y. Kim and colleagues, Korea Institute Science & Technology.

"In order to investigate the role of PI3-K/Akt in NGF-induced differentiation of PC12 cells, we generated cells ectopically expressing constitutively...
