The PC12 line of rat pheochromocytoma cells [ 6 ] has proved to be a particularly favorable system for detecting NGF-responsive changes in gene expression [ 7 8 9 10 11 ] . These cells resemble sympathico-pheochromo-blasts and upon exposure to NGF cease proliferation and acquire, in a transcription dependent mechanism, many of the properties of post-mitotic sympathetic neurons including neurite outgrowth and electrical excitability.
We showed previously that post-mitotic primary neurons express dlA transiently at the 4 somite stage [ 28].
To investigate the basis for these and other neural phenotypes in dlA dx2 mutant embryos we compared the balance of proliferative neural precursor cells and post-mitotic neurons in wild-type and dlA dx2 mutant embryos.
Conversely, we categorized those cells that expressed Hu proteins as post-mitotic, differentiating neurons.
Our results confirm the findings of others that show the possibility of transfecting post-mitotic, fully differentiated cells using PEI [ 2, 23].
