چکیده

background: learning and memory are the most intensively studied subjects in neuroscience. two sites of mammalian brain which are important in learning and memory are ca1 region of hippocampus and purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. so, the aim of present investigation was to study of the effect of ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning on nr1 subunit of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptor distribution in ca1 region of hippocampus and purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. methods: twenty four sprague-dawley rats were used in 4 groups: control-1 (intact without learning), control-2 (intact with learning), ovariectomy without learning, and ovariectomy with learning. immunohistochemical procedure was used for determination of nr1 subunit of nmda receptor. a shuttle box apparatus used for passive avoidance learning procedure. the determination of color intensity was cone by photoshop software. results: immunohistological findings indicated that ovariectomy has a negative effect on density of nr1 subunit of nmda receptors in two brain regions. passive avoidance learning significantly increased density of nr1 subunit of nmda receptors in two brain regions. conclusion: the results indicated that the sex hormone can modulate function and expression of the nr1 subunit of nmda receptor in ca1 region of hippocampus and purkinje cell layer of cerebellum.

Modulation of NR1 subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor by ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning

BACKGROUND Learning and memory are the most intensively studied subjects in neuroscience. Two sites of mammalian brain which are important in learning and memory are CA1 region of hippocampus and Purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. So, the aim of present investigation was to study of the effect of ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning on NR1 subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor d...

Translational regulation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1.

Formation of functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channels requires the essential NMDA receptor subunit NR1 and one or more of the modulatory subunits NR2A-D and in some cases an additional subunit NR3A or NR3B. Recent studies indicate that NR1 expression is regulated at translation under both physiological and pathological conditions. The rat pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12) has be...

Autoantibodies against the N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Subunit NR1: Untangling Apparent Inconsistencies for Clinical Practice

This viewpoint review provides an integrative picture of seemingly contradictory work published on N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1) autoantibodies (AB). Based on the present state of knowledge, it gives recommendations for the clinical decision process regarding immunosuppressive treatment. Brain antigen-directed AB in general and NMDAR1-AB in particular belong to a preexisting autoimmu...

Combined Therapy for Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis

Background Anti-N-methyl- d-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune neurological disorder that usually occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome and is particularly associated with ovarian teratoma. Standard therapy for severe cases is not established and the prognosis in patients who do not respond to first-line treatment is poor. Case Report An 11-year-old boy complained ps...

N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR1 forms the substrate for oligomeric assembly of the NMDA receptor.

The time course of the assembly of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor was examined in a cell line expressing it under the control of the dexamethasone promoter. These studies suggested a delay between the appearance of the NR1 and NR2A subunits and their stable association as examined by co-immunoprecipitation of NR1 and NR2A. This prompted us to examine the stability and folding of the individu...

Principles of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor allosteric modulation.

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate-gated ion channels with complex participation in synaptic transmission, integration, and plasticity. They are highly permeable to Ca(2+), activate with characteristic kinetics, and generate currents with distinct amplitudes according to stimulation frequency. Multiple endogenous and pharmacological agents bind at distinct locations throughout ...
