Journal ArticleDOI
Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) Is Released by Microglial Cells and Confers Neuroprotection against 6-OHDA Neurotoxicity
Elisabetta Polazzi,Ilaria Mengoni,Marco Caprini,Emiliano Peña-Altamira,Ewelina Kurtys,Barbara Monti +5 more
TL;DR: Using proteomic analysis, SOD1, constitutively produced and released by microglia through a lysosomal secretory pathway, is identified here for the first time as an essential component of neuroprotection mediated bymicroglia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The consolidation of new but not reactivated memory requires hippocampal C/EBPβ
TL;DR: It is shown that consolidation but not reconsolidation of inhibitory avoidance memory requires the expression of the transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) in the hippocampus, an evolutionarily conserved genetic marker that has a selective role in the consolidation of new but not reactivated memories inThe hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microglia and neuroprotection: from in vitro studies to therapeutic applications.
Elisabetta Polazzi,Barbara Monti +1 more
TL;DR: The "microglial dysfunction hypothesis" points at the importance of understanding the mechanisms of microglial-mediated neuroprotection to develop new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, mainly for the identification of potentially effective neuroprotective molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical, molecular and epigenetic mechanisms of valproic acid neuroprotection.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the more recent data on VPA neuroprotective mechanisms at the biochemical, molecular and epigenetic levels, focusing on both in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fornix-Dependent Induction of Hippocampal CCAAT Enhancer-Binding Protein β and δ Co-Localizes with Phosphorylated cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein and Accompanies Long-Term Memory Consolidation
Stephen M. Taubenfeld,Kjesten A. Wiig,Barbara Monti,Bridget Dolan,Gabriella Pollonini,Cristina M. Alberini +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that C/EBPs are evolutionarily conserved components of the CREB-dependent gene cascade activated in long-term memory.
