Mitochondria and cytochrome c release play a role in the death of neurons and glia after cerebral ischemia. In the present study, we investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic promoter of cytochrome c release and caspase 8 substrate, was expressed in brain, activated after an ischemic insult in vivo and in vitro, and contributed to ischemic cell death. We detected BID in the cytosol of mouse brain and primary...
