Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha. A mediator of focal ischemic brain injury.
Frank C. Barone,B. Arvin,Raymond F. White,A. Miller,Christine L. Webb,Robert N. Willette,Paul G. Lysko,Giora Z. Feuerstein +7 more
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that exogenous T NF-alpha exacerbates focal ischemic injury and that blocking endogenous TNF-alpha is neuroprotective, and also significantly reduced focal ischemia-induced brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression in ischemic neurons.
T. Liu,R K Clark,P C McDonnell,P R Young,Raymond F. White,Frank C. Barone,Giora Z. Feuerstein +6 more
TL;DR: These results represent the first demonstration that focal cerebral ischemia in rats results in elevated TNF-alpha mRNA and protein in ischemic neurons, and the neuronal expression of peptide appears to facilitate the infiltration of inflammatory cells that can further exacerbate tissue damage in cerebral waschemia and might contribute to increased sensitivity and risk in focal stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression Increases After Cerebral Focal Ischemia in Rats: Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Reduces Infarct Size
TL;DR: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix and are implicated in numerous pathological conditions including at...
Journal ArticleDOI
Ischemic Preconditioning and Brain Tolerance: Temporal Histological and Functional Outcomes, Protein Synthesis Requirement, and Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist and Early Gene Expression
Frank C. Barone,Raymond F. White,Patricia A. Spera,Julie A. Ellison,R. William Currie,Xinkang Wang,Giora Z. Feuerstein +6 more
TL;DR: PC is a powerful inducer of ischemic brain tolerance as reflected by preservation of brain tissue and motor function and the importance of protein synthesis in PC-induced IT is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caspase 3 activation is essential for neuroprotection in preconditioning.
BethAnn McLaughlin,Karen A. Hartnett,Joseph A. Erhardt,Jeffrey J. Legos,Raymond F. White,Frank C. Barone,Elias Aizenman +6 more
TL;DR: A neuroprotective pathway where events normally associated with apoptotic cell death are critical for cell survival is outlined, and agents that blocked preconditioning also attenuated induction of HSP 70.
