Decoding NMDA Receptor Signaling: Identification of Genomic Programs Specifying Neuronal Survival and Death
NMDA receptors promote neuronal survival but also cause cell degeneration and neuron loss. The mechanisms underlying these opposite effects on neuronal fate are unknown. Whole-genome expression profiling revealed that NMDA receptor signaling is decoded at the genomic level through activation of two distinct, largely nonoverlapping gene-expression programs. The location of the NMDA receptor acti...
متن کاملExtrasynaptic NMDA receptor-induced tau overexpression mediates neuronal death through suppressing survival signaling ERK phosphorylation
Intracellular accumulation of the hyperphosphorylated tau is a pathological hallmark in the brain of Alzheimer disease. Activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors (E-NMDARs) induces excitatory toxicity that is involved in Alzheimer's neurodegeneration. However, the intrinsic link between E-NMDARs and the tau-induced neuronal damage remains elusive. In the present study, we showed in cultured pr...
متن کاملSurvival signaling pathways activated by NMDA receptors.
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) have a recognized role in neuronal plasticity while their excessive activation results in excitotoxic death. Therefore, NMDAR antagonists are considered for neuroprotective interventions. However, there is also an emerging role of NMDAR in supporting neuronal survival. Thus, during CNS development, basal NMDAR activity suppresses neuronal apoptosis while m...
متن کاملPro-survival signalling from the NMDA receptor.
Ca2+ influx through the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors plays a Jekyll and Hyde role in the mammalian central nervous system. While it mediates excitotoxic death triggered by stroke and other acute trauma, there is growing evidence that physiological levels of NMDA receptor activity promote survival. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie these opposing...
متن کاملDeath receptor signaling.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a common property of multicellular organisms (Danial and Korsmeyer, 2004; Krammer, 2000). It can be triggered by a number of factors, including UVor γ-irradiation, chemotherapeutic drugs or signaling by death receptors (DR). The DR family is part of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (Bhardwaj and Aggarwal, 2003). Triggering members of the DR fa...
