Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis induced in neuronal cells by oxidative stress: role played by caspases and intracellular calcium ions.

TL;DR: The data gathered support the conclusion that during oxidative stress in neuronal cells the production of ROS triggers a mechanism that, through the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and caspase-3 activation, leads to apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two Sodium/Calcium Exchanger Gene Products, NCX1 and NCX3, Play a Major Role in the Development of Permanent Focal Cerebral Ischemia

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that in the neuroprotective effect exerted by NCX during ischemic injury, the major role is prevalently exerted byNCX1 and NCX3 gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted Disruption of Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger 3 (NCX3) Gene Leads to a Worsening of Ischemic Brain Damage

TL;DR: It is reported that ncX3 gene suppression leads to a worsening of brain damage after focal ischemia and to a massive neuronal death in all the hippocampal fields of organotypic cultures as well as in cortical neurons from ncx3−/− mice exposed to OGD plus reoxygenation.
Journal ArticleDOI

BHK cells transfected with NCX3 are more resistant to hypoxia followed by reoxygenation than those transfected with NCX1 and NCX2: Possible relationship with mitochondrial membrane potential.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the brain specifically expressed NCX3 isoform more significantly contributes to the maintenance of [Ca2+]i homeostasis during experimental conditions mimicking ischemia, thereby preventing mitochondrial delta psi collapses and cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sp3/REST/HDAC1/HDAC2 Complex Represses and Sp1/HIF-1/p300 Complex Activates ncx1 Gene Transcription, in Brain Ischemia and in Ischemic Brain Preconditioning, by Epigenetic Mechanism

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NCX1 expression is regulated by the Sp3/REST/HDAC1/ HDAC2 complex in tMCAO and by thesp1/HIF-1/p300 complex in PC+tMCAo and that epigenetic intervention, by modulating the acetylation of ncx1-Br, may be a strategy for the development of innovative therapeutic intervention in stroke.
