We investigated the e¡ect of 10 W WM clozapine on the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3L L (GSK-3L L) and its upstream and downstream molecules in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Clozapine activates both Akt-and Dvl-mediated phosphorylation of GSK-3L L through phosphorylation at Ser9, and increased total cellular and intranuclear levels of L L-catenin. Pretreatment with the speci¢c inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway, LY294002 (20 W WM), prevented the phosphorylation of Akt but did not a¡ect the phosphorylation of GSK-3L L. These results suggest that clozapine regulates the phosphorylation of GSK-3L L through Wnt signal pathways involving Dvl upstream but not through the PI3K-Akt pathway in SH-SY5Y cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
