To evaluate the role of ceramide in glial growth, primary cultures of quiescent astrocytes from rat cerebellum were stimulated to proliferate by mitogenic doses of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Parallel to the bFGF mitogenic effect was a marked, and persistent, decrease in cellular ceramide
The present work was undertaken to study the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent activator of the host inflammatory response, on the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) by newborn rat brain astrocytes. Treatment of primary rat astroglial cells cultured in chemically defined med
