The Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Prostaglandin D-Induced Neuritogenesis in Motor Neuron-Like NSC-34 Cells.

Prostaglandins are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds derived from arachidonic acid. Our previous study has found that prostaglandin E promotes neurite outgrowth in NSC-34 cells, which are a model for motor neuron development. However, the effects of other prostaglandins on neuronal differentiation are poorly understood.
