Question
To test if MAPK was activated by BDNF, wild type neurons were treated with BDNF, or left untreated (UN). Cells were lysed and the proteins separated by SDS-PAGE. Phosphorylated MAPK (p-MAPK) and the NR1 subunit of the glutamate receptor (loading control) were visualized by western/immuno blotting.
Question 9
What did BDNF do to MAPK in these neurons?
D) Activated MAPK
To test if MAPK played a role in formation of BDNF-stimulated axonal filopodia, a MEK inhibitor was used (PD). MEK phosphorylates and activates MAPK.
Question 10
What did the data show?
Question 11
What could be interpreted from the data?
A) Inhibited MAPKExplanation / Answer
9.
10. PD had no effect on the percentage of neurons with BDNF-stimulated filopodia
11. MAPK inhibition is required for filopodia formation
