Change of Nurr1 expression in mouse hippocampal CA3 region following excitotoxic neuronal damage
Objective(s): Nuclear receptor-related protein 1 (Nurr1), one of immediate-early genes, is a member of orphan nuclear receptor family. The aim of this study was to investigate the time-dependent change of Nurr1 protein expression in the mouse hippocampal CA3 region following kainic acid (KA)-induced excitotoxic neuronal damage.Materials and Methods:</...
متن کاملBupropion attenuates kainic acid-induced seizures and neuronal cell death in rat hippocampus.
Excessive release of glutamate is believed to be a major component of cell damage following excitotoxicity associated with epilepsy. Bupropion, an atypical antidepressant, has been shown to inhibit glutamate release from rat cerebrocortical nerve terminals. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether bupropion has anti-seizure and anti-excitotoxic effects by using a kainic acid (KA)...
متن کاملThe effect of silymarin on prevention of hippocampus neuronal damage in rats with temporal lob epilepsy
Background and Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy is hallmarked with neuronal degeneration in some areas of hippocampus and mossy fiber sprouting in dentate area. Considering some evidences on neuroprotective and antioxidant activity of silymarin (SM), this study was undertaken to evaluate the preventive effect of this agent on structural changes in hippocampus of kainate-epileptic rats. Materia...
متن کاملNP031112, a thiadiazolidinone compound, prevents inflammation and neurodegeneration under excitotoxic conditions: potential therapeutic role in brain disorders.
Inflammation and neurodegeneration coexist in many acute damage and chronic CNS disorders (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease). A well characterized animal model of brain damage involves administration of kainic acid, which causes limbic seizure activity and subsequent neuronal death, especially in the CA1 and CA3 pyramidal cells and interneurons in the hilus of the hippocam...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid enhancement protects against kainic acid-induced seizures and associated brain damage.
Endocannabinoids are released in response to pathogenic insults, and inhibitors of endocannabinoid inactivation enhance such on-demand responses that promote cellular protection. Here, AM374 (palmitylsulfonyl fluoride), an irreversible inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), was injected i.p. into rats to test for endocannabinoid enhancement. AM374 caused a prolonged elevation of ananda...
