Neural progenitor cells (NPC) can proliferate,
differentiate into neurons or glial cells, or undergo a form of
programmed cell death called apoptosis. Although death of NPC occurs
during development of the nervous system and in the adult, the
underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here we show that nitric oxide (NO)
can induce death of C17.2 NPC by a mechanism requiring activation of
p38 MAP kinase, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, and caspase-3. Nitric
oxide causes release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, and
Bcl-2 protects the neural progenitor cells against nitric oxide-induced
death, consistent with a pivotal role for mitochondrial changes in
controlling the cell death process. Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase by
SB203580 abolished NO-induced cell death, cytochrome c
release, and activation of caspase-3, indicating that p38 activation serves as an upstream mediator in the cell death process. The anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 protected NPC against nitric oxide-induced apoptosis and suppressed activation of p38 MAP kinase. The ability of nitric oxide to trigger death of NPC by a mechanism involving p38
MAP kinase suggests that this diffusible gas may regulate NPC fate in
physiological and pathological settings in which NO is produced.
