Recombinant AAV8-mediated intrastriatal gene delivery of CDNF protects rats against methamphetamine neurotoxicity
Methamphetamine (METH) exerts significant neurotoxicity in experimental animals and humans when taken at high doses or abused chronically. Long-term abusers have decreased dopamine levels, and they are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, few medications are available to treat the METH-induced damage of neurons. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been pr...
متن کاملWalnut consumption protects rats against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity.
Walnut is extensively used in traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments. It is described as an anticancer, anti-inflammatory, blood purifier and antioxidant agent. In this study, we investigated whether or not Walnut could protect neurons against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Dietary walnut (6%) was assessed for its neuroprotective effects through the alteration in perfo...
متن کاملReduced glutathione protects against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity in rats.
Reduced glutathione (GSH) is reported to diminish cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity, and it was for this reason that we studied GSH in an animal model of cisplatin neuropathy. The neuropathy was evaluated by measuring the sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) in young adult Wistar rats. GSH injections (i.v.) were given twice weekly, within five minutes before cisplatin was injected (i.p.). In ...
متن کاملIntrastriatal gene delivery of GDNF persistently attenuates methamphetamine self-administration and relapse in mice.
Relapse of drug abuse after abstinence is a major challenge to the treatment of addicts. In our well-established mouse models of methamphetamine (Meth) self-administration and reinstatement, bilateral microinjection of adeno-associated virus vectors expressing GDNF (AAV-Gdnf) into the striatum significantly reduced Meth self-administration, without affecting locomotor activity. Moreover, the in...
متن کاملReversal of motor impairments in parkinsonian rats by continuous intrastriatal delivery of L-dopa using rAAV-mediated gene transfer.
Intrastriatal delivery of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene by viral vectors is being explored as a tool for local delivery of L-dopa in animals with lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway. The functional effects reported using this approach have been disappointing, probably because the striatal L-dopa levels attained have been too low. In the present study, we have defined a critical threshold level...
