Dexamethasone Protects Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury via L-PGDS-Dependent PGD2-DP1-pERK Signaling Pathway
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glucocorticoids pretreatment confers protection against neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury. However, the molecular mechanism remains poorly elucidated. We tested the hypothesis that glucocorticoids protect against HI brain injury in neonatal rat by stimulation of lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS)-induced prostaglandin D2 (PGD2)-DP1-pERK mediated si...
متن کاملNeuroprotective agents for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
Hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) brain injury in newborns is a major cause of morbidity and mortality that claims thousands of lives each year. In this review, we summarize the promising neuroprotective agents tested on animal models and pilot clinical studies of neonatal H-I brain injury according to the different phases of the disease. These agents target various phases of injury including the early ph...
متن کاملRole of Mitochondria in Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury
Hypoxic-ischemia (HI) causes severe brain injury in neonates. It's one of the leading causes to neonatal death and pediatric disability, resulting in devastating consequences, emotionally and economically, to their families. A series of events happens in this process, e.g. excitatory transmitter release, extracelluar Ca2+ influxing, mitochondrial dysfunction, energy failure, and neuron death. T...
متن کاملProstaglandin D2 protects neonatal mouse brain from hypoxic ischemic injury.
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD) is synthesized by hematopoietic PGD synthase (HPGDS) or lipocalin-type PGDS (L-PGDS), depending on the organ in which it is produced, and binds specifically to either DP1 or DP2 receptors. We investigated the role of PGD2 in the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonatal mice at postnatal day 7. In wild-type mice, hypoxia-ischemia increased PGD2 pro...
متن کاملOsteopontin enhances endogenous repair after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is a frequent cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality with limited therapeutic options. To identify molecules important for cerebral damage and repair, we investigated the growth factor-related gene expression profile after neonatal cerebral HI. We identified osteopontin (OPN) as the most highly upregulated factor early after HI. We t...
