In primary neuronal cultures the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by tumor-promoting phorbol esters blocked growth factor-induced neuronal survival and neurite extension. Depletion of PKC markedly facilitated both epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor-inducible neurite extension. Inhibition of PKC by H-7 also stimulated neurite extension. These results suggest that down-regulation of PKC in neurons may be required for trophic factor action.

D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D010703 Phorbol Esters Tumor-promoting compounds obtained from CROTON OIL (Croton tiglium). Some of these are used in cell biological experiments as activators of protein kinase C. Phorbol Diester,Phorbol Ester,Phorbol Diesters,Diester, Phorbol,Diesters, Phorbol,Ester, Phorbol,Esters, Phorbol
D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
