Evidence has implicated apoptosis as a mechanism underlying cell demise in diverse neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD). Endogenous toxins and other stress signals activate the sphingomyelin pathway increasing the levels of ceramide, an important regulator of cell death. In the present paper we have analysed the contribution of PI3K/AKT-GSK3 beta and MAPK (ERK and JNK) pathways to cell death in a catecholaminergic cell line following exposure to C-2-ceramide. We also explored the potential neuroprotective action of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3). We demonstrated that C-2-ceramide-induced cell death is associated to an early decrease in phosphorylation (inhibition) of PI3K/AKT and ERK, followed by phosphorylation (activation) of JNK and de-phosphorylation (activation) of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK3 beta). NT3 and ICF-1 increased survival at early time points, but only IGF-1 is capable to attenuate C-2-ceramide-mediated neuronal death, and this neuroprotection is associated to strong and permanent activation of AICT and inhibition of GSK3 beta. In conclusion, C-2-ceramide initiates a series of events including an early inactivation of PI3K/AKT and ERK pathways followed by activation of JNK and activation of GSK3 beta and neuronal death, changes that are counteracted by IGF-1.
