Zusammenfassung
Activation of the neurotrophin receptor TrkA by its ligand NGF mediates growth inhibition and differentiation of neuroblastoma cells, whereas TrkB/BDNF signaling promotes proliferation and therapy resistance. Nonetheless, TrkA and TrkB exhibit a high level of sequence homology and use overlapping signaling pathways. To identify novel effector molecules contributing to the characteristic phenotypes of TrkA- and TrkB-expressing neuroblastoma cells, we analyzed global protein expression in neuroblastoma SY5Y cells stably transfected with TrkA or TrkB, and activated by their specific ligands in a time course from 0–…
