found that PMA and PKC induced a large increase in Notch expression and that the PKC S729A mutant abolished the PMA effect. To examine the role of Notch1 in PMA and PKC effects, we employed the -secretase inhibitor L-685,458. Treatment of the cells with L-685,458 decreased the number of GFAP+ cells whereas it increased the number of -tubulinIII+ cells. Moreover, L-685,458 abolished the effect of PMA on the generation of astrocytes. Our data suggest an important role of PKC in astrocytic differentiation and implicate Notch1 as a possible mediator of this effect.
