Treatment of cerebral ischemia by disrupting ischemia-induced interaction of nNOS with PSD-95

TL;DR: This drug blocked the ischemia-induced nNOS–PSD-95 association selectively, had potent neuroprotective activity in vitro and ameliorated focal cerebral ischemic damage in mice and rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

ADAR2-Dependent RNA Editing of AMPA Receptor Subunit GluR2 Determines Vulnerability of Neurons in Forebrain Ischemia

TL;DR: It is shown that forebrain ischemia in adult rats selectively reduces expression of ADAR2 enzyme and, hence, disrupts RNA Q/R site editing of GluR2 subunit in vulnerable neurons, which determines vulnerability of neurons in the rat hippocampus to fore brain ischemic insult.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase after focal cerebral ischemia stimulates neurogenesis in the adult rodent dentate gyrus.

TL;DR: It is shown that 7 d after focal cerebral ischemia, newly divided cells in the dentate gyrus of adult rats increased to approximately sevenfold, compared with sham controls, and activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was associated with enhanced dentate neurogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of Ca2+-Permeable AMPA Receptor Channels Primes Cell Death in Transient Forebrain Ischemia

TL;DR: The induction of Ca( 2+) and/or Zn(2+) influx through AMPA receptors by expressing functional Ca(2+)-permeable GluR2(Q) channels causes the postischemic degeneration of hippocampal granule neurons that otherwise are insensitive to ischemic insult.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) after focal cerebral ischemia stimulates neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus.

TL;DR: The findings provide roles and regulatory mechanisms for CREB in adult neurogenesis and possibly suggest a practical strategy for replacing dead neurons in brain injury.
