Previous, Our laboratory demonstrated the role of MAPKs signal pathway, p53, cytochrome c released and activated caspase-9,caspase-3 in regulating the CAPE(＞50μM)-induced apoptosis in C6-glioma cells. In addition, it demonstrated GFAP, S-100β protein expression mediated blocking cell deterioration by CAPE(＜10μM). However, the signals mediating C6-Glioma apoptosis and blocking deterioration by CAPE(＞50μM, ＜10μM) have not yet been clarified. In the present study, by western blot, HPTLC, DAPI Stain, DNA eletrophoresis, fluorescence spectrograph, Boyden chamber and wound healing assay. We concluded result that CAPE (＞50μM) induced apoptosis of C6-glioma cell through reduction of GSH, activation of SMase/ceramide, activation of p38 Kinase and upregulation of NGF/p75 cascade, JNK Kinase involving ERK activation . Another , CAPE (＜10μM) blocked deterioration of C6 glioma cell through activation of NGF/p75, expression of well differentiated protein (GFAP, S-100β, RhoB) and reduction of (MMP-2,MMP-9) activity. In conclusion, the role of N-SMase/ceramide, MAPKs signal pathway and NGF/p75 in regulating the CAPE (＞50μM) induced apoptosis of C6-glioma cells. In addition, the role of NGF/p75, differentiated protein (GFAP, S-100β, RhoB) and (MMP-2,MMP-9) in regulating the CAPE (＜10μM) blocking deterioration of C6-glioma cells.
