Morphological Identification of Cell Death in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Following Peripheral Nerve injury and repair in adult rat
Background: Axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. Reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. It is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. Methods: Animals (male Wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciati...
متن کاملTemporal Correlation Of Bax Expression And Axotomy-Induced Motoneuronal Apoptosis In Adult Rats: A Morphometric, Ultrastructural And Immunohistochemical Study
Background and Objective: As apoptotic cell death is extremely involved in physiological development and many pathological situations such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, the understanding of its molecular machinery can be useful in designing new therapeutic strategies. The present study investigated the temporal expression of the proapoptotic protein Bax in adult spinal motoneuron...
متن کاملMethods for experimental manipulations after optic nerve transection in the Mammalian CNS.
Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are CNS neurons that output visual information from the retina to the brain, via the optic nerve. The optic nerve can be accessed within the orbit of the eye and completely transected (axotomized), cutting the axons of the entire RGC population. Optic nerve transection is a reproducible model of apoptotic neuronal cell death in the adult CNS (1-4). This model is pa...
متن کاملUnilateral optic nerve transection up-regulate Hsp70 protein expression in lateral geniculate nucleus of rats.
Studies have demonstrated that optic nerve transection results in apoptotic cell death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and neurons within lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Heat shock protein (Hsp) 70 was reported to be involved in protecting cells from injury under various pathological conditions in vivo and in vitro. To determine the involvement of Hsp70 in protecting neurons within LGN again...
متن کاملMorphological changes of lumbar spinal neurons after sciatic nerve transection in neonate rats
Axotomy of the sciatic nerve have been documented to cause neuronal loss, especially in newborn rats. Few works have focused on time course of neuronal loss and the type of cell death, which occurs after axotomy. Forty rat pups were anesthetized by hypothermia and the right sciatic nerve transected at five days of their age and the left side was used as control. The operated animals were sacrif...
