Ganglioside-mediated protection from glutamate-induced neuronal death.
Glutamate, an excitatory amino acid (EAA), plays an important role in neuron to neuron signaling by binding to specific receptors. When, during neuronal firing, quanta of glutamate are released from the nerve terminal, they interact with the receptors for a few milliseconds and, thereafter, glutamate is promptly cleared by appropriate mechanisms. The neurotoxic action of glutamate arises from i...
متن کاملEffects of Coriandrum sativum extracts on glucose/serum deprivation-induced neuronal cell death
Objective: This study was planned to investigate whetherCoriandrum sativum (C. sativum) is capable of protecting neurons against glucose/serum deprivation (GSD)-induced cytotoxicity. Material and Methods: The PC12 cells were cultivated for 24 h in standard media (high-glucose DMEM containing Fetal Bovine Serum) or for 6 h in GSD condition (glucose-free DMEM, without serum) in the absence or pr...
متن کاملCaspase-2 mediates neuronal cell death induced by beta-amyloid.
beta-amyloid (Abeta) has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Deposits of insoluble Abeta are found in the brains of patients with AD and are one of the pathological hallmarks of the disease. It has been proposed that Abeta induces death by oxidative stress, possibly through the generation of peroxynitrite from superoxide and nitric oxide. In our current...
متن کاملGastrointestinal protection by NO from NSAIDs induced injury.
One of the most deleterious side effects of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) is gastric injury. In order to prevent this, attempt has been made to make novel nitric oxide (NO) releasing NSAIDs. The NO-releasing moiety (nitroxybutylester), which is combined with NSAIDs, has been shown to be responsible for gastrointestinal protection. Various NO-releasing NSAIDs have been compared ...
متن کاملProtection against glucose-induced neuronal death by NAAG and GCP II inhibition is regulated by mGluR3.
Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP II) inhibition has previously been shown to be protective against long-term neuropathy in diabetic animals. In the current study, we have determined that the GCP II inhibitor 2-(phosphonomethyl) pentanedioic acid (2-PMPA) is protective against glucose-induced programmed cell death (PCD) and neurite degeneration in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a cell c...
