In summary, we have shown the inhibitory effects of Bcl-2 family on the ceramide-mediated apoptotic pathway in glioma cells. Bcl-2 is considered to act not only downstream of ceramide to inhibit cytochrome c release followed by caspase activation, but also upstream of or at SMase to prevent ceramide generation.igure 3 Effects of Bcl-2 or Bax overexpression on ceramide formation and neutral sphingomyelinase activation in etoposide-treated C6 cells. C6/Neo (), C6/Bcl-2 (), and C6/Bax () cells were treated with 40 M etoposide for indicated periods.
