Component

Neurite and axonal outgrowth against inhibitory substrate

Neurite and axonal outgrowth against inhibitory substrate. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Ibuprofen activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in neuron-like PC12 and B104 cells, activation with traditional agonists mimics the RhoA-inhibiting properties of ibuprofen and promotes neurite elongation in primary neurons exposed to axonal growth inhibitors, small interfering RNA against the receptor blocks RhoA suppression by those agonists, and selective receptor inhibition prevents the effect of ibuprofen on RhoA activity and neurite growth, supporting an essential role for the receptor in coupling ibuprofen to RhoA inhibition.
