متن کاملMitochondrial Apoptosis and the Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor
Viruses mercilessly exploit their host cells to guarantee their own proliferation and propagation. To achieve this goal, many viruses suppress the apoptotic program, thereby avoiding premature death of the host cell. Indeed, apopto-sis of infected cells may be considered as a pristine defense against infectious pathogens, as illustrated by a simple Gedankenexperiment : if all host cells died im...
متن کاملThe lack of expression of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor characterises microglial response in anaplast
The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is a 18 kDa molecule mainly involved in cholesterol transport through the mitochondrial membrane. In microglia, PBR is expressed from the earliest stages of activation and appears to exert a pro-inflammatory function. This molecule is commonly up-regulated in inflammatory, degenerative, infective and ischaemic lesions of the central nervous system bu...
متن کاملRegional and temporal expression of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor in MPTP neurotoxicity.
We used the dopaminergic neurotoxicant 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) as a biomarker of chemical-induced neurotoxicity. Receptor autoradiography of [3H]-PK11195, a PBR selective ligand, indicated dose-dependent increases throughout the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system as early as 24...
متن کاملImaging of a glioma using peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligands.
Two types of benzodiazepine receptors have been demonstrated in mammalian tissues, one which is localized on neuronal elements in brain and the other, on glial cells and in peripheral tissues such as kidney. In vivo administration of 3H-labeled PK 11195 [1-(2-chlorophenyl-N-methyl-N-(1-methylpropyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxamide] or [3H]flunitrazepam with 5 mg of clonazepam per kg to rats with int...
