Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor, SM-20220, is protective against excitotoxicity in cultured cortical neurons.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, it has been reported that Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) inhibitors demonstrated protective effects on ischemia/reperfusion brain injury in animal models. However, the mechanisms by which the neurons were protected against ischemic insult remain unclear. To reveal the cellular mechanism of the NHE inhibitor on the neuronal death, we examined the effects of a selective N...
متن کاملScreening seven Iranian medicinal plants for protective effects against β-Amyloid-induced cytotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons
Background and objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. According to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of Aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. Thus, modulation of Aβ toxicity is the hopef...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effects of daphnetin against NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity.
The accumulation of glutamate can excessively activate the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and cause excitotoxicity. Daphnetin (Dap), a coumarin derivative, is a protein kinase inhibitor that exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. However, little is known about the neuroprotective effects of Dap on glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. We evaluated the neuroprotective activities...
متن کاملIncreased Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Activity Promotes Resistance to Excitotoxicity in Cortical Neurons of the Ground Squirrel (a Hibernator)
Ground squirrel, a hibernating mammalian species, is more resistant to ischemic brain stress than rat. Gaining insight into the adaptive mechanisms of ground squirrels may help us design treatment strategies to reduce brain damage in patients suffering ischemic stroke. To understand the anti-stress mechanisms in ground squirrel neurons, we studied glutamate toxicity in primary cultured neurons ...
متن کاملProtection by eliprodil against excitotoxicity in cultured rat retinal ganglion cells.
PURPOSE To test whether eliprodil (SL 82.0715), a unique antagonist for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, is protective in the glutamate-induced cytotoxicity model in cultured rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). METHODS Two to four days after a fluorescent dye, Di-I, was injected near the superior colliculi, neonatal rats were killed, and retinal cells were dissociated and cultured. Su...
