✦ Synopsis

Both neurons and glia succumb to programmed cell death (PCD) when deprived of growth factors at critical periods in development or following injury. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) prevents apoptosis in neurons in vitro. To investigate whether IGF-I can protect Schwann cells (SC) from apoptosis, SC were harvested from postnatal day 3 rats and maintained in serum-containing media until confluency. When cells were switched to serum-free defined media (DM) for 12-72 h, they underwent PCD. Addition of insulin or IGF-I prevented apoptosis. Bisbenzamide staining revealed nuclear condensation and formation of apoptotic bodies in SC grown in DM alone, but SC grown in DM plus IGF-I had normal nuclear morphology. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) inhibitor LY294002 blocked IGF-I-mediated protection. Caspase-3 activity was rapidly activated upon serum withdrawal in SC, and the caspase inhibitor BAF blocked apoptosis. These results suggest that IGF-I rescues SC from apoptosis via PI 3-K signaling which is upstream from caspase activation.

In this study, we investigate the effects of bFGF on apoptosis in neuron-free cultures of neonatal rat Schwann cells. Apoptotic cell death was induced in primary and secondary expanded Schwann cells by treatment with 1 mM concentrations of 8-bromoadenosine 38:58-cyclic monophosphate (8-bromo-cAMP),

Schwann cells (SCs) are the myelin producing cells of the peripheral nervous system. During development, SCs cease proliferation and differentiate into either a myelin-forming or non-myelin forming mature phenotype. We are interested in the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in SC developm

There have been several lines of evidence that parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates production of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) in bone and that IGF-I stimulates osteoclast formation. Thus, the present study was performed to clarify the possible role of IGF-I in PTH-stimulated osteoclastlike c

Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor of the peripheral nervous system that remains largely uncurable by conventional methods. Mannitol induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cell types and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) protects these cells from hyperosmotic-induced apoptosis by affecting apoptosis-
