Neuroprotective FK506 does not alter in vivo nitric oxide production during ischemia and early reperfusion in rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have demonstrated that the immunosuppressant FK506 provides neuroprotection in experimental brain injury and suggest that this action may be mediated by suppression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase activation that occurs after ischemic depolarization. We sought to determine whether FK506 reduces histological injury after middle cerebral artery occlusion ...
متن کاملNeuroprotective actions of FK506 in experimental stroke: in vivo evidence against an antiexcitotoxic mechanism.
The cellular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective action of the immunosuppressant FK506 in experimental stroke remain uncertain, although in vitro studies have implicated an antiexcitotoxic action involving nitric oxide and calcineurin. The present in vivo study demonstrates that intraperitoneal pretreatment with 1 and 10 mg/kg FK506, doses that reduced the volume of ischemic cortical dama...
متن کاملImmunosuppressant FK506 enhances phosphorylation of nitric oxide synthase and protects against glutamate neurotoxicity.
Immunosuppressants FK506 and cyclosporin A inhibit neurotoxicity of N-methyl-D-aspartate in primary cortical cultures, while having no effect on quisqualate- and kainate-mediated neurotoxicity. Rapamycin completely reverses the neuroprotective effect of FK506. Both FK506 and cyclosporin A inhibit NMDA-elicited/nitric oxide-mediated increases in cGMP levels in cortical cultures. FK506 has no eff...
متن کاملIntraischaemic hypothermia reduces free radical production and protects against ischaemic insults in cultured hippocampal slices.
Hypothermia has been demonstrated to be an effective neuroprotective strategy in a number of models of ischaemic and excitotoxic neurodegeneration in vitro and in vivo. Reduced glutamate release and free radical production have been postulated as potential mechanisms underlying this effect but no definitive mechanism has yet been reported. In the current study, we have used oxygen-glucose depri...

Human multiple small cerebral infarcts are implicated in induction of stroke attacks and dementia associated with multiple brain embolism. These disorders were caused by permanent or prolonged occlusion of multiple microvascular in the brain. Unfortunately, few animal models can mimic clinical features in human multiple brain embolism. Recent evidences, however, suggest that microsphere embolis...
