Figure 8From: Pyk2 uncouples metabotropic glutamate receptor G protein signaling but facilitates ERK1/2 activationEffect of Staurosporine on ERK1/2 and Pyk2 phosphorylation in cortical neurons. A) Representative immunoblot showing the effect of treating primary mouse cortical neurons with and without 50 μM DHPG for 5 min and pretreated either with or without staurosporine (1 μM) on ERK1/2 phosphorylation. B) Representative immunoblot showing the effect of treating primary mouse cortical neurons with and without 50 μM DHPG for 5 min and pretreated either with or without staurosporine (1 μM) on Pyk2 (Y402) phosphorylation. Bar graph shows the mean ± SEM of five independent experiments. * P < 0.05 versus untreated mGluR1a expressing cells.Back to article page
