Fig. 3From: Endogenous BDNF augments NMDA receptor phosphorylation in the spinal cord via PLCγ, PKC, and PI3K/Akt pathways during colitisBDNF induced NR1 phosphorylation in the spinal cord which was reduced by K252a. Western blot (a) showed that incubation of the acutely cultured spinal cord slices with BDNF (50 ng/mL) elicited an increase in the phosphorylation level of NR1 at Ser896 (b). Pre-treatment of the spinal cord slices with a TrkB inhibitor K252a reduced BDNF-elicited NR1 phosphorylation (c). *p < 0.05 vs. control or DMSO alone; #p < 0.05 vs. BDNF (+DMSO)Back to article page
