Effect of glutamate on lysosomal membrane permeabilization in primary cultured cortical neurons.
Glutamate is the principal neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is the predominant cause of cerebral damage. Recent studies have shown that lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) is involved in ischemia‑associated neuronal death in non‑human primates. This study was designed to investigate the effect of glutamate on lysosomal stability in primary ...
متن کاملProtective effect of valproic acid on cultured motor neurons under glutamate excitotoxic conditions. Ultrastructural study.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that involves the upper and lower motor neurons and leads to the patient's death within 5 years after diagnosis. Approximately 2 per 100,000 people worldwide are affected every year. The only FDA-approved drug available for medical treatment is riluzole. It slows the disease progression and improves limb function and musc...
متن کاملProtective effect of aripiprazole against glutamate cytotoxicity in dopaminergic neurons of rat mesencephalic cultures.
Aripiprazole, a dopamine D(2) receptor partial agonist, is used to treat schizophrenia. Although aripiprazole has been reported to protect non-dopaminergic neurons, its effect on dopaminergic neurons has yet to be investigated. In the present study, we examined whether aripiprazole protected dopaminergic neurons against glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in rat mesencephalic cultures. Pretreatment ...
متن کاملScreening seven Iranian medicinal plants for protective effects against β-Amyloid-induced cytotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons
Background and objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. According to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of Aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. Thus, modulation of Aβ toxicity is the hopef...
متن کاملThe protective effect of curcumin on Aβ induced aberrant cell cycle reentry on primary cultured rat cortical neurons.
OBJECTIVES Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by progressive loss of memory and impairment of cognitive ability. One current hypothesis for AD pathogenesis is that neuronal death is linked to aberrant cell-cycle re-entry. In AD, neurons have been shown to enter the cell cycle inappropriately without the ability to complete it fully and the aberrant re-entry leads to...
