Primary culture of mouse dopaminergic neurons.
Dopaminergic neurons represent less than 1% of the total number of neurons in the brain. This low amount of neurons regulates important brain functions such as motor control, motivation, and working memory. Nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons selectively degenerate in Parkinson's disease (PD). This progressive neuronal loss is unequivocally associated with the motors symptoms of the pathology (b...
متن کاملRapamycin protects dopaminergic neurons against rotenone-induced cell death in primary mesencephalic cell culture.
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease is the most common movement disorder, characterized by a progressive and extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and their terminals in the striatum. So far, only symptomatic treatment is available, and no cure or disease-modifying drugs exist. The present study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of rapamy...
متن کاملCabergoline protects dopaminergic neurons against rotenone-induced cell death in primary mesencephalic cell culture.
In the present study, primary mesencephalic cell cultures prepared from embryonic mouse mesencephala were used to investigate the neuroprotective effect of cabergoline, an ergoline D2 receptor agonist, against the pesticide and neurotoxin rotenone relevant to Parkinson disease (PD). Treatment of cultures with cabergoline alone significantly increased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase immunorea...
متن کاملAxotomy depletes intracellular calcium stores in primary sensory neurons.
BACKGROUND The cellular mechanisms of neuropathic pain are inadequately understood. Previous investigations have revealed disrupted Ca signaling in primary sensory neurons after injury. The authors examined the effect of injury on intracellular Ca stores of the endoplasmic reticulum, which critically regulate the Ca signal and neuronal function. METHODS Intracellular Ca levels were measured w...
متن کاملChemicals Possessing a Neurotrophin-Like Activity on Dopaminergic Neurons in Primary Culture
BACKGROUND Neurotrophic factors have been shown to possess strong neuroprotective and neurorestaurative properties in Parkinson's disease patients. However the issues to control their delivery into the interest areas of the brain and their surgical administration linked to their unability to cross the blood brain barrier are many drawbacks responsible of undesirable side effects limiting their ...
