Neuroprotection by tetracyclines.

چکیده
The neuroprotective properties of tetracyclines have been clearly established in rodent models of acute and chronic neurodegeneration during the past few years. Recent findings have provided novel insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of protection of neurons and oligodendrocytes by tetracyclines. These advances have prompted several clinical trials with minocycline, the most effective tetracycline, which are still in their early phases. Thus, tetracyclines hold great promise as therapeutic agents for the treatment of human neurodegenerative diseases.

متن کاملTetracyclines convert the osteoclastic-differentiation pathway of progenitor cells to produce dendritic cell-like cells.
Tetracyclines, such as doxycycline and minocycline, are used to suppress the growth of bacteria in patients with inflammatory diseases. Tetracyclines have been shown to prevent bone loss, but the mechanism involved is unknown. Osteoclasts and dendritic cells (DCs) are derived from common progenitors, such as bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). In this article, we show that tetracyclines con...

Objective(s): Stroke may cause severe neuronal damage. The sesamin have been demonstrated to possess neuroprotection by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. One sesamin derivative was artificially composited, 1, 2-bis [(3-methoxyphenyl) methyl] ethane-1, 2-dicaroxylic acid (MMEDA) had been developed to study its antioxidative activity and neuroprotection. Materials and Methods: The...

We have previously shown that tetracyclines interact with and reverse the protease resistance of pathological prion protein extracted from scrapie-infected animals and patients with all forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, lowering the prion titre and prolonging survival of cerebrally infected animals. To investigate the effectiveness of these drugs as anti-prion agents Syrian hamsters were inoc...
