Description:
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is known to induce neurodevelopmental deficits such as poor cognitive development and motor dysfunction. However, the mechanism of TCDD-mediated neurotoxicity remains unclear. Since PKC signaling is one of the most pivotal events involved in neuronal function and development, we analyzed the effects of TCDD on the PKC signaling pathway in cerebellar granule cells derived from PND-7 rat brain. Immunoblot analysis revealed the presence of PKC-@a, @bII, @d, @e, @l and @i in both cytosol and membrane fractions of cerebellar granule cells, but PKC-@c was below the detectable level. TCDD induced a significant translocation of PKC-@a, -@bII and -@e from cytosol to membrane fraction (p
