Calbindin-D 28K in hippocampal organotypic cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Slices of hippocampus from 6-day-old rats were cultured for 2-4 weeks using the roller-tube technique. The organization of these explants was studied by immunocytochemical labeling of calbindin-D 28K (CaBP 28K). The development of the CaBP 28K staining was very close to that of the rat hippocampus in vivo with only 3 subpopulations of labeled cells: granule cells and their mossy fibers, pyramidal cells in the subiculum-CA1 zone and interneurons scattered in strata oriens and radiatum.

Calbindin-D28k is expressed in osteoblastic cells and suppresses their apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-3 activity.
The rate of osteoblast apoptosis is a critical determinant of the rate of bone formation. Because the calcium-binding protein calbindin-D(28k) has anti-apoptotic properties in neuronal cells and lymphocytes, we searched for the presence of this protein in osteoblastic cells and investigated whether it can modify their response to proapoptotic signals. Calbindin-D(28K) was expressed at low level...
متن کاملCritical role of the epithelial Ca2+ channel TRPV5 in active Ca2+ reabsorption as revealed by TRPV5/calbindin-D28K knockout mice.
The epithelial Ca(2+) channel TRPV5 facilitates apical Ca(2+) entry during active Ca(2+) reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. In this process, cytosolic Ca(2+) remains at low nontoxic concentrations because the Ca(2+) influx is buffered rapidly by calbindin-D(28K). Subsequently, Ca(2+) that is bound to calbindin-D(28K) is shuttled toward the basolateral Ca(2+) extrusion systems. For ad...
متن کاملThe absence of the calcium-buffering protein calbindin is associated with faster age-related decline in hippocampal metabolism.
Although reductions in the expression of the calcium-buffering proteins calbindin D-28K (CB) and parvalbumin (PV) have been observed in the aging brain, it is unknown whether these changes contribute to age-related hippocampal dysfunction. To address this issue, we measured basal hippocampal metabolism and hippocampal structure across the lifespan of C57BL/6J, calbindin D-28k knockout (CBKO) an...
متن کاملEffect of treatment with the dihydropyridine-type calcium antagonist darodipine (PY 108-068) on the expression of calbindin D-28K immunoreactivity in the cerebellar cortex of aged rats.
The influence of long term treatment with the dihydropyridine-type Ca2+ antagonist darodipine (PY 108-068) on age-dependent changes in calbindin D-28K immunoreactivity in the cerebellar cortex of male Wistar rats was assessed. In 12-month-old rats used as an adult reference group, specific calbindin D-28K immunoreactivity was found within the cytoplasm of Purkinje neurons and their dendritic pr...
متن کاملAn activity-dependent neurotrophin-3 autocrine loop regulates the phenotype of developing hippocampal pyramidal neurons before target contact.
Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), its cognate receptor trkC, and voltage-gated calcium channels are coexpressed by embryonic pyramidal neurons before target contact, but their functions at this stage of development are still unclear. We show here that, in vitro, anti-NT-3 and anti-trkC antibodies blocked the increase, and NT-3 reversed the decrease in the number of calbindin-D(28k)-positive pyramidal neur...
