Genome-wide association study of intracranial aneurysm identifies three new risk loci

Katsuhito Yasuno, +72 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: Two new loci showing strong evidence for association with intracranial aneurysms are identified and several putative risk genes play a role in cell-cycle progression, potentially affecting the proliferation and senescence of progenitor-cell populations that are responsible for vascular formation and repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocytic factors protect neuronal integrity and reduce microglial activation in an in vitro model of N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced excitotoxic injury in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures.

TL;DR: Findings show that hitherto unidentified astrocyte‐derived factors that are probably not identical with TGF‐β can substantially enhance neuronal survival, either by eliciting direct neuroprotective effects or by modulating the microglial response to neuronal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-4, interleukin-10, and interleukin-1-receptor antagonist but not transforming growth factor-beta induce ramification and reduce adhesion molecule expression of rat microglial cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL‐4, IL‐10, and IL‐1‐ra induce microglial ramification and reduce ICAM‐ 1‐expression, whereas the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines is not prevented, and unidentified astrocytic factors that are not identical with IL‐ 4, IL-10, or TGF‐β possess strong immunomodulatory properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil attenuates neuronal damage after excitotoxic injury in hippocampal slice cultures.

TL;DR: In conclusion, MMF inhibits proliferation and activation of microglia and astrocytes and protects neurons after excitotoxic injury.
