Abstract：
:Polyamines play critical roles during the development of brain neurons. In the present study we examined the effects of polyamines on neuronal apoptotic death. Rat cerebellar granule neurons were cultured in the presence of a depolarizing concentration of KCl (25 mM) in the medium. Apoptotic neuronal death was induced by changing the medium to that containing 5.6 mM KCl without serum. Spermine as well as spermidine and putrescine prevented cell death in a concentration-dependent manner with the order of potency being spermine > spermidine > putrescine. The effect of spermine was partially blocked by several NMDA-type glutamate receptor antagonists including (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine (MK-801). MK-801-sensitive neuroprotection by spermine depended on cell density. Activation of CPP32 (caspase-3/Yama/apopain)-like proteolytic activity, a key mediator of apoptosis, precedes neuronal death, and polyamines prevented an increase in this activity. These results demonstrate that polyamines protect neurons from apoptotic cell death through both NMDA receptor-dependent and -independent mechanisms, acting upstream from the activation of CPP32-like protease(s).
