Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), a well-known neuroprotective and neurotrophic factor in the central nervous system, is also involved in the repair process responses after ischemia-reperfusion injury. Herein, we found that TGF-beta 1 enhanced Cdk5 expression while decreased Tunel-positive cells compared with the ischemia group, and roscovitine(Cdk5 inhibitor) treatment could blunt these effects. In vitro study, TGF-beta 1 facilitated Cdk5/p35 complex, the proliferation, neurite growth and differentiation of PC12 cells, effects of which could be blunted by roscovitine and Cdk5 silencing. Moreover, ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 abrogated the effects of TGF-beta 1 on Cdk5 and Box levels. Taken together, we conclude that Cdk5 contributes to the neuroprotective function of TGF-beta 1 via ERK1/2 signaling. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
