The Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide Humanin Protects RPE Cells From Oxidative Stress, Senescence, and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
PURPOSE To investigate the expression of humanin (HN) in human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells and its effect on oxidative stress-induced cell death, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and senescence. METHODS Humanin localization in RPE cells and polarized RPE monolayers was assessed by confocal microscopy. Human RPE cells were treated with 150 μM tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (tBH) in the absen...
متن کاملPersistent Synapse Loss Induced by Repetitive LTD in Developing Rat Hippocampal Neurons
Synaptic pruning is a physiological event that eliminates excessive or inappropriate synapses to form proper synaptic connections during development of neurons. Appropriate synaptic pruning is required for normal neural development. However, the mechanism of synaptic pruning is not fully understood. Strength of synaptic activity under competitive circumstances is thought to act as a selective f...
متن کاملLithium increases synapse formation between hippocampal neurons by depleting phosphoinositides.
The mood-stabilizing effects of lithium are well documented, although its mechanism of action remains unknown. Increases in gray matter volume detected in patients with bipolar disorder who were treated with lithium suggest that changes in the number of synapses might underlie its therapeutic effects. We investigated the effects of lithium on the number of synaptic connections between hippocamp...
متن کاملHumanin peptides block calcium influx of rat hippocampal neurons by altering fibrogenesis of Abeta(1-40).
Humanin peptides (including HN, HNG and other mutants) were reported previously that antagonize neurotoxicity caused by various familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) genes and Abeta derivatives. Herein, we describe the aggregation dynamics and the representative morphological characteristics of Abeta(1-40) after different time of addition humanin peptides, which revealed that (a) the interactions ...
متن کاملCannabinoids inhibit network-driven synapse loss between hippocampal neurons in culture.
Dendritic pruning and loss of synaptic contacts are early events in many neurodegenerative diseases. These effects are dynamic and seem to differ mechanistically from the cell death process. Cannabinoids modulate synaptic activity and afford protection in some neurotoxicity models. We investigated the effects of cannabinoids on activity-induced changes in the number of synapses between rat hipp...
