Induction of Fos protein in a model of closed head injury in rats.

چکیده
The induction of Fos immunoreactivity in the pyriform cortex and the hippocampal formation after closed head injury was determined and compared to that seen following cortical needle injury in pentobarbital anaesthetized male rats. Robust Fos expression was observed in the ipsilateral pyriform cortex following both types of injury but was observed in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus only following closed head injury. Pretreatment with the NMDA receptor blocker MK-801 eliminated closed head injury induced Fos expression in the pyriform cortex and attenuated that seen in the hippocampus. Similar amounts of Fos expression were observed in urethane anaesthetized lactating and nonlactating rats following closed head injury. No gross behavioural impairments as reflected in body weight gain and locomotor activity were seen in animals subjected to closed head injury. These results demonstrate that as with other forms of brain damage, closed head injury at levels that produce no overt brain lesion nor gross behavioural impairment induce Fos expression in the pyriform cortex and the dentate gyrus which is dependent on the activation of NMDA receptors. Further, this response to brain injury is not modulated by lactation.

Study the Efect of Retinoeic Acid and Mitogenes on Lens and Optic Vesicle of Mouse Embryo(Nmri) and Fos Protein Expression In Culture Medium
Purpose: This work studies possible role of FOS proteins, retinoic acid (RA) and mitogens during optic vesicle development in vitro. Materials and Methods: Fos was detected as a product of 55-62 kDa in optic vesicles via electrophoretic procedures. Incubation (24hr) of optic vesicles with RA 25nM and mitogens(serum10%,insulin2.5%) on the day 9.5 of gestation revealed that Fos was induced by mi...

Introduction: In Iran, thousands of young individuals become victims of head injury annually. Head injury can damage neuronal cells which may in turn complicate the recovery of the patients. Also, the increase of iron in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following head injury may contribute to the hypoxic-ischemia brain damage by catalyzing the formation of free radicals (Harber-Weiss Rection). The obj...
متن کاملSciatic functional index following induction of injury in the sciatic nerve of rats
Sciatic functional index (SFI) as a behavioral method was used to assess the functional recovery following experimentally-induced various injuries in the sciatic nerve, spinal cord, and brain. In the present study, the functional recovery after induction of injury in the sciatic nerve was investigated in rats using SFI. Twenty-four rats were divided into three groups including sham-operated (SS...
