Journal ArticleDOI

Notch activation promotes cell proliferation and the formation of neural stem cell-like colonies in human glioma cells

TL;DR: Notch signaling promote the formation of cancer stem cell-like cells in human glioma, suggesting that Notch signaling play roles in cancer stem cells and cancer cells with a stem cell phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manganese induces dopaminergic neurodegeneration via microglial activation in a rat model of manganism

TL;DR: Results suggested that dopaminergic neurons could be damaged by manganese neurotoxicity, and that the activated microglial cells and their associated activation products played an important role in this neurodegenerative process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron supplement prevents lead-induced disruption of the blood-brain barrier during rat development

TL;DR: The data suggest that Pb exposure disrupts the structure of the BBB in young animals and iron (Fe) supplement may prevent against Pb-induced BBB disruption, and the increased BBB permeability may facilitate the accumulation of Pb.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in the synaptic structure of hippocampal neurons and impairment of spatial memory in a rat model caused by chronic arsenite exposure.

TL;DR: Together, chronic sodium arsenite exposure through drinking water results in detrimental changes in the neuronal synapses, which may contribute to the arsenite-induced impairment of spatial memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manganese induces the overexpression of α-synuclein in PC12 cells via ERK activation.

TL;DR: Manganese exposure induced the overexpression of α-synuclein via ERK1/2 activation, which may play a role in manganese-induced cytotoxicity, and the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059, which inhibits the activation of ERK MAPK, attenuated the overexpressions and the cytot toxicity induced by manganous.
