Apoptotic neuronal death is known to occur in the developing brain and in the mature brain of patients with ischemic and degenerative disorders. Although microglial cells are known to become activated in specific conditions, it has not been elucidated whether they enhance or prevent neuronal apoptos

Several CNS disorders feature microglial activation. Microglia are known to have both restorative and cytotoxic capabilities. Neuronal apoptosis has been noted after an acute insult such as ischemia. Microglia may participate in this event. We previously showed that conditioned medium (CM) harvested
We used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate microglia that play an important role in the brain immune system. LPS injected into the rat hippocampus CA1 region activated microglial cells resulting in an increased production of interleukin (IL)-1b and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a in the hippocampus
