| T1 |
0-126 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In vivo neuroprotective role of NMDA receptors against kainate-induced excitotoxicity in murine hippocampal pyramidal neurons. |
| T2 |
127-298 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Activation of NMDA receptors has been shown to induce either neuronal cell death or neuroprotection against excitotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons in vitro. |
| T3 |
299-426 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
We have investigated the effects of pretreatment with NMDA on kainate-induced neuronal cell death in mouse hippocampus in vivo. |
| T4 |
427-659 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The systemic administration of kainate (30 mg/kg), but not NMDA (100 mg/kg), induced severe damage in pyramidal neurons of the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 subfields 3-7 days later, without affecting granule neurons in the dentate gyrus. |
| T5 |
660-735 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
An immunohistochemical study using an anti-single-stranded DNA antibody and |
| T6 |
736-753 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
TdT-mediated dUTP |
| T7 |
754-916 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
nick end labeling analysis both revealed that kainate, but not NMDA, induced DNA fragmentation in the CA1 and CA3 pyramidal neurons 1-3 days after administration. |
| T8 |
917-1047 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Kainate-induced neuronal loss was completely prevented by the systemic administration of NMDA (100 mg/kg) 1 h to 1 day previously. |
| T9 |
1048-1176 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
No pyramidal neuron was seen with fragmented DNA in the hippocampus of animals injected with kainate 1 day after NMDA treatment. |
| T10 |
1177-1283 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The neuroprotection mediated by NMDA was prevented by the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801. |
| T11 |
1284-1489 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Taken together these results indicate that in vivo activation of NMDA receptors is capable of protecting against kainate-induced neuronal damage through blockade of DNA fragmentation in murine hippocampus. |
