Abstract
Cortical neurons die in necrosis in the low-density (LD) culture, and in apoptosis in the high-density (HD) culture under the serum-free condition without any supplements. The neuronal death in LD culture was delayed by conditioned medium (CM) factors prepared from the HD culture. The CM switched the cell death mode from necrosis to apoptosis, characterized by various cell death markers and transmission electron microscopy. The CM inhibited the rapid decrease in cellular ATP levels and [3H]-2-deoxy glucose ([3H]-2-DG) uptake in the LD culture. Inhibitors of phospholipase C and protein kinase C effectively abolished the CM-induced elevation of survival activity, [3H]-2-DG uptake and ATP levels, and necrosis–apoptosis switch. All these results suggest that CM caused the cell death mode switch from necrosis to apoptosis through phospholipase C- and protein kinase C-mediated mechanisms.Keywords
