Experience-dependent development of NMDAR1 subunit expression in the lateral geniculate nucleus.
Monocular deprivation early in postnatal development leads to anatomical and physiological changes in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and visual cortex. Many of these changes are dependent upon activation of the NMDA receptor. We have examined the role of visual experience in modifying NMDAR1 subunit expression in the LGN of animals reared with various forms of visual deprivation. Followin...
متن کاملCurcumin affects gene expression and reactive oxygen species via a PKA dependent mechanism in Dictyostelium discoideum
Botanicals are widely used as dietary supplements and for the prevention and treatment of disease. Despite a long history of use, there is generally little evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of these preparations. Curcumin has been used to treat a myriad of human diseases and is widely advertised and marketed for its ability to improve health, but there is no clear understanding how cu...
متن کاملEthanol Upregulates NMDA Receptor Subunit Gene Expression in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cortical Neurons
Chronic alcohol consumption may result in sustained gene expression alterations in the brain, leading to alcohol abuse or dependence. Because of ethical concerns of using live human brain cells in research, this hypothesis cannot be tested directly in live human brains. In the present study, we used human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cortical neurons as in vitro cellular models to investi...
متن کاملTumor Necrosis Factor Enhances Nicotinic Receptor Up-regulation via a p38-dependent Pathway*
A response by key neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to sustained nicotine exposure is up-regulation. Although this unusual receptor characteristic contributes to processes ranging from aging to addiction, the normal physiologic reason for this response is unknown.We find that up-regulation of [3H]epibatidine binding and function inHEK293 cells stably expressing 4 2-nAChR is si...
متن کاملRegulation of Tau Gene Expression by AP and the Amyloid Precursor Protein in Cultured Cortical Neurons
The two characteristic lesions of Alzheimer's disease are intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and extracellular accumulation of amyloid plaques. Tangles are composed of abnormally hyper-phosphorylated forms of the microtubule-associated protein tau, whereas amyloid (AP) is derived from proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These lesions are thought to be etiologically...
