Dock7 is required for migration and the activation of Rac1, Cdc42, and JNK induced by NRG1 in Schwann cells. (A and B) Schwann cells were transfected with control, Dock7-1, or Dock7-2 siRNA and incubated with or without NRG1 in Boyden chambers (12 independent fields). To confirm the effects of siRNA, the lysates of transfected cells were immunoblotted with an anti-Dock7, Rac1, Cdc42, or actin antibody. (C and D) Schwann cells were transfected with control or Dock7-1 siRNA and stimulated with NRG1 for 60 min. The activities of Rac1 and Cdc42 were assayed by affinity precipitation with GST-Pak1-CRIB (n = 3). (E) Cells were transfected with control or Dock7-1 siRNA and JNK phosphorylation was measured (n = 3). Error bars show ±SD. Data were evaluated by using one-way ANOVA (*, P < 0.01).
