Abstract:
:Cerebellar granule neurons can be maintained in culture in a medium containing high serum and depolarising levels of KCl. When serum is removed and the KCl levels lowered from 25 to 5 mM, the cells undergo apoptosis. Apoptosis can be prevented by inhibitors of transcription or translation, suggesting a need for macromolecular synthesis in the apoptotic process. Using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction the levels of mRNA for a range of genes postulated to be important in apoptosis have been examined. Elevated levels of caspase 3, c-Jun, and Fas ligand were found, in addition to a corresponding increase in c-Jun protein and activation of caspase-3. These results suggest that cerebellar granule neurons upregulate components of both death receptor-mediated and the mitochondrial-mediated death pathways.
