Reduction of CuZn-superoxide dismutase activity exacerbates neuronal cell injury and edema formation after transient focal cerebral ischemia.
Apoptotic neuronal cell death has recently been associated with the development of infarction after cerebral ischemia. In a variety of studies, CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) has been shown to protect the brain from ischemic injury. A possible role for CuZn-SOD-related modulation of neuronal viability is suggested by the finding that CuZn-SOD inhibits apoptotic neuronal cell death in resp...
متن کاملExacerbation of delayed cell injury after transient global ischemia in mutant mice with CuZn superoxide dismutase deficiency.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have demonstrated that copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), a cytosolic isoenzyme of SODs, has a protective role in the pathogenesis of superoxide radical-mediated brain injury. Using mice bearing a disruption of the CuZn-SOD gene (Sod1), the present study was designed to clarify the role of superoxide anion in the pathogenesis of selective vulnerability after ...
متن کاملCopper-zinc superoxide dismutase affects Akt activation after transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The serine-threonine kinase Akt is activated by phosphorylation at serine-473. After phosphorylation, activated Akt inactivates BAD or caspase-9 or other apoptogenic components, thereby inhibiting cell death. In this study we examined the relationship between Akt phosphorylation and oxidative stress after transient focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) using copper-zinc superoxid...
متن کاملConjugated superoxide dismutase reduces extent of caudate injury after transient focal ischemia in cats.
We tested the efficacy of preischemic and postischemic systemic treatment with 30,000 units polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase in a reperfusion model of focal cerebral ischemia. Forty-one anesthetized cats underwent 2 hours' occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery and both common carotid arteries followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Cats were blindly assigned to one of thre...
متن کاملEffect of pentoxifylline on brain edema in a rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia
Pervious studies have shown that pentoxifylline (PTX) has beneficial effects in reduction of stroke and brain trauma injuries in experimental animals. However, there is very little and controversial information about the effect of PTX on brain edema in cerebral ischemia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of different doses of PTX on brain edema and neurological m...
