Caspase activation and dependence on caspases has been observed in different paradigms of apoptotic cell death in vivo and in vitro. The present study examines the role of caspases in ionizing radiationinduced apoptosis in the developing cerebellum of rats subjected to a single dose (2-Gy โฅ rays) of
Caspase-3 activity increased dramatically in cytosolic extracts of rat cerebellar granule cells exposed to apoptotic conditions (basal medium Eagle (BME) containing 5 mM K ุ without serum) when assayed with Ac-DEVD-amc, but not with Ac-YVAD-afc, a preferred substrate for caspase-1. This provided a b
We evaluated the relationship among proliferation, death and migration of granule cells in lobules VI-VIII of vermis, in comparison with lobule III, during cerebellar development. To this aim, a single injection of cisplatin, i.e., a cytostatic agent that is known to induce death of proliferating gr
