Figure Lengend Snippet: TrkA inhibitor suppresses p-TrkA-mediated upregulation of ERK, EGR1, and p35 in the MPC5 cells grown under HG conditions. Representative western blots show the levels of (A) TrkA and phospho-TrkA (Tyr490), (C) ERK, phospho-ERK, and EGR1, and (E) CDK5 and p35 in the LG, HG+Vehicle (0.1% DMSO), HG + Inh-TrkA, HG + empty vector, HG + TrkA OE, and HG + TrkA OE + PD98059 groups. Representative western blots show the levels of (B) TrkA and phospho-TrkA (Tyr490), (D) ERK, phospho-ERK, and EGR1, and (F) CDK5 and p35 in the LG, HG+si-NC, HG+si-TrkA, HG + TrkA OE+Ctrl, and HG + TrkA OE + GW441756 groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
