Ceramide is a sphingolipid that has been implicated both in apoptosis and protection from cell death. We show that in both rat cerebellar granule cells and cortical neuronal cultures application of C(2)-ceramide causes cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Similar effects were observed wi
## Abstract Secreted phospholipases A~2~ (sPLA~2~s) modulate neuronal survival and neurotransmitter release. Here we show that sPLA~2~ (group III) synergistically increases glutamateβinduced cell death and intracellular calcium ([Ca^2+^]~i~) in cultured primary cortical and hippocampal neurons. Whe
We examined cytokine-mediated neuronal death in neuron-astrocyte cultures from second trimester human fetal cerebrum. In these cultures, high-output inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and tumor necrosis factor-β£ (TNFβ£) are expressed in astrocytes after exposure to IL-1β€/IFNβ₯. Neuronal cell death
