Role of calbindin-D28K in estrogen treatment for Parkinson's disease★

چکیده
Studies have shown that estrogen has neuroprotective effects on the nigrostriatal system. The present study established a Parkinson's disease model in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrapyridine. The mice were subjected to 17β estradiol injection into the lateral ventricle. Immunofluorescence double staining showed that estrogen increased tyrosine hydroxylase and calbindin-D28K expression and co-expression in dopaminergic neurons of midbrain substantia nigra pars compacta of model mice. Behavior experiments showed that estrogen improved swimming and hanging behaviors in this mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

Overexpression of calbindin-D28K induces neurite outgrowth in dopaminergic neuronal cells via activation of p38 MAPK.
An MN9D dopaminergic neuronal cell line overexpressing calbindin-D28K (MN9D/Calbindin) was established in order to investigate directly the potential role of calcium-binding protein in neuronal differentiation. Overexpression of calbindin-D28K in MN9D cells resulted in significant increases in the number of neurites, the length of primary neurites, and the total extent of neurites. This robust ...
متن کاملCalbindin-D28K Prevents Staurosporin-induced Bax Cleavage and Membrane Permeabilization
Calbindin-D28K has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal cell death. Previously, we demonstrated that calbindin-D28K prevents staurosporine (STS)-induced caspase activation and subsequent apoptosis in a neuronal cell line. However, the role of calbindin-D28K in STS-induced activation of calpain and necrotic cell death was not identified. Staurosporine induced the elevation of intracellu...
متن کاملMeso Scale Discovery and Luminex Comparative Analysis of Calbindin D28K
The sensitivity of different renal regions to xenobiotics requires the development of a multiplex immunoassay for the simultaneous analysis of kidney biomarkers. Calbindin D28K is a distal tubule-specific protein that can be detected in urine under pathological conditions. In this study, a pair of anti-calbindin D28K antibodies was used in an immunoassay for the detection of calbindin D28K expr...
متن کاملMicrodomains in Hippocampal Neurons
Ca 2 -binding proteins are ubiquitously expressed throughout the CNS and serve as valuable immunohistochemical markers for certain types of neurons. However, the functional role of most Ca 2 -binding proteins has to date remained obscure because their concentration in central neurons is not known. In this study, we investigate the intracellular concentration of the widely expressed Ca 2 -bindin...
متن کاملFerulic Acid Modulates Calbindin-D28K Expression in Focal Cerebral Ischemia and Glutamate-Exposed HT22 Cells
Calbindin-D28k is a calcium-binding protein that mediates intracellular calcium concentrations and exerts a neuroprotective effect against ischemic injury. Ferulic acid provides a neuroprotective effect against focal cerebral ischemia through its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In this study, we investigated whether ferulic acid regulates calbindin-D28k expression during focal ...
