The cause of neuronal loss in Alzheimer disease is unknown. We investigated the effects on survival of PC12 cells expressing A692G, E693Q, and V717F mutant amyloid precursor proteins (APP). Differentiated cells expressing mutant APPs exhibited somal shrinkage, followed by cell detachment from the pl

Tumor necrosis factor-โฃ (TNFโฃ) may play a role in at least some of the neuronal death that occurs following brain insults or in neurodegenerative diseases. It is therefore important to characterize the mechanism underlying apoptosis induced by TNFโฃ in neuronal cells and to identify factors capable o
PC12 cells are a useful model system for studying neuronal apoptosis. Like neurons, they undergo apoptosis when deprived of trophic support. Involvement of caspases [interleukin 1โค-converting enzyme (ICE)related proteases] has been implicated in apoptosis induced by various stimuli in many cell type
The bacterial alkaloid staurosporine is widely employed as an inducer of apoptosis in many cell types including neurons. The intracellular cascades that mediate staurosporine-induced apoptosis are largely unknown. Exposure of cultured PC12 cells to staurosporine resulted in a rapid (min) and prolong
Previous studies have shown that caspases (proteases related to interleukin-1โค converting enzyme) are needed for the death of trophic factor-deprived PC12 cells. However, the protease involved in this process has not been identified. The results presented here strongly suggest that caspase-2 (Nedd2/
