neurodegeneration and c-Fos attenuation in CA3a neurons. |

DRI_Unspecified |

Intraventricular (i.c.v.) |
| T5 |
170-262 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
kainic acid (KA) causes an acute excitotoxic lesion to the CA3 region of rodent hippocampus. |
| T6 |
263-373 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Recent evidence implicated c-fos gene in regulating neuron survival and death following an excitotoxic insult. |
| T7 |
374-535 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In this study we attempted to prevent KA-induced damage in CA3 neurons with NMDA preconditioning, which produced a marked expression of c-fos in the hippocampus. |

DRI_Background |

was injected to anesthetized rats alone or 1 h before KA (0.15 microg, i.c.v.). |
| T12 |
644-747 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Following KA injection, vibratome sections were processed for immunohistochemistry/electron microscopy. |
| T13 |
748-854 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
c-Fos and Nissl staining were used to estimate the extent of neuronal excitation and damage, respectively. |
| T14 |
855-1004 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Quantitative evaluation of c-Fos-labeled cells showed significantly less c-Fos in CA3a than in neighboring CA3b and CA2 from 1 to 4 h after KA alone. |
| T15 |
1005-1121 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Attenuation of expressed c-Fos in CA3a was accompanied by damage of neurons with more apoptotic than necrotic signs. |
| T16 |
1122-1229 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
NMDA preconditioning elevated CA3a c-Fos expression and at 1 and 2 h exceeded markedly that after KA alone. |
| T17 |
1230-1357 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
However, at 4 h after KA, NMDA-preconditioned c-Fos induction in CA3a diminished to the same level as that seen after KA alone. |
| T18 |
1358-1420 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
The onset of neuronal degeneration was delayed in similar way. |
| T19 |
1421-1608 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
While NMDA-induced c-Fos expression in CA3a could be blocked by MK-801 completely, MK-801 and CNQX were both without significant effect on KA-induced c-Fos expression and neuronal damage. |
| T20 |
1609-1757 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
In conclusion, inhibition of c-Fos expression and onset of neuronal damage in CA3a following icv KA injection might be transiently delayed by i.c.v. |
| T21 |
1758-1779 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
NMDA preconditioning. |
