    Abstract:
    Increased expression of N-Myc and expression of the high mobility group protein A1a (HMGA1a) were observed in the nuclei of SK-N-SH cells following exposure to hypoxia. These observations were accompanied by the appearance of additional high molecular weight bands, which were eliminated by pretreatment with alkaline phosphatase. Immunoprecipitation showed phosphorylation of serine, threonine and tyrosine residues of N-Myc in the nucleus. These results suggest that hypoxia-induced signals in SK-N-SH cells lead to persistent expression of HMGA1a, which may induce expression of the transcription factor N-Myc, and that phosphorylation at serine, threonine and tyrosine residues of N-Myc occurs at an early stage after stimulation. Such signal consolidation processes could play a role in neuronal survival after hypoxia in neurons.
